Subject: [PATCH 18/23] KVM: x86/pmu: Handle GLOBAL_STATUS MSRs under PerfMon masking
Date: Fri, 21 Aug 2026 15:19:57 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260821222002.54907-19-zide.chen@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260821222002.54907-1-zide.chen@intel.com>
For IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_STATUS{,_SET,_RESET}, the effective mask under
PerfMon masking is perfmon_mask. Writes that set bits outside the
effective mask must #GP, so use ~perfmon_mask as the effective
reserved-bit mask instead of global_status_rsvd.
At guest context load, keep host-owned GLOBAL_STATUS bits unchanged
because system-wide events may be scheduled on host-owned resources
while running in VMX non-root mode.
Likewise, at guest context put, preserve host-owned bits and clear
only the guest-owned subset from hardware GLOBAL_STATUS, leaving
pmu->global_status containing only guest-owned bits.
