Subject: [PATCH v9 10/12] perf/x86: Expose number of Topdown metric events to KVM
Date: Fri, 18 Sep 2026 12:39:35 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260918193937.569414-11-zide.chen@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260918193937.569414-1-zide.chen@intel.com>

The number of Topdown metric events varies by CPU: ICL/TGL/RKL
support 4, while SPR/GNR/DMR and some hybrid CPUs support 8.

Add num_topdown_events to struct x86_pmu_capability and populate it
in perf_get_x86_pmu_capability() so that KVM can determine how many
PERF_METRICS fields are valid on the host CPU and correctly identify
the reserved bits in IA32_PERF_METRICS.
