Subject: [PATCH 06/23] perf/x86: Restrict !exclude_guest events to host-owned counters
Date: Fri, 21 Aug 2026 15:19:45 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260821222002.54907-7-zide.chen@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260821222002.54907-1-zide.chen@intel.com>
From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@linux.intel.com>
When PMU partitioning is enabled and a guest is running,
!exclude_guest events must be scheduled only on host-owned counters.
After guest exit, PMU partition constraints are no longer applied and
host events may use the full counter set.
