(Marc) Two fixes and a hardening patch for PMU handling in pKVM, as one series [2]. The first is Vincent's rework of his HPMN fix. It supersedes his earlier posting [3]. Rather than read nr_event_counters through a different accessor, the host copies the hypervisor's kvm_host_data before it's deprivileged, so host_data_ptr() returns what was set up at init. Otherwise, HPMN is 0 and a non-protected guest's event counters don't count. The second is the non-protected half of Oliver's patch from 2024 [4]. It passes the host's PMU events to the hyp vCPU of a non-protected guest, whose counters otherwise all read 0. The third covers the protected half. It stops the host's counters while a protected guest runs, so the host can't count the guest's cycles and events. Side channels are outside pKVM's threat model, so it carries no Fixes: tag. Based on kvmarm/next (dd0bc00e3e920).
