Subject: [PATCH v9 04/12] KVM: x86/pmu: Snapshot host IA32_PERF_CAPABILITIES in kvm_host
Date: Fri, 18 Sep 2026 12:39:29 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260918193937.569414-5-zide.chen@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260918193937.569414-1-zide.chen@intel.com>

From: Mingwei Zhang <mizhang@google.com>

Cache the unadulterated snapshot of perf_capabilities so that KVM can
compare guest vPMU capabilities against raw hardware capabilities.

For example, if the host supports PERF_METRICS but it is not configured
for the guest, KVM can use it to determine that RDPMC accesses must be
intercepted.
