Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86/pmu: omit "impossible" Intel counter MSRs from MSR list
Date: Tue,  6 Sep 2022 16:16:04 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220906081604.24035-1-likexu@tencent.com> (raw)

From: Like Xu <likexu@tencent.com>

According to Intel April 2022 SDM - Table 2-2. IA-32 Architectural MSRs,
combined with the address reservation ranges of PERFCTRx, EVENTSELy, and
MSR_IA32_PMCz, the theoretical effective maximum value of the Intel GP
counters is 14, instead of 18:

  14 = 0xE = min (
    0xE = IA32_CORE_CAPABILITIES (0xCF) - IA32_PMC0 (0xC1),
    0xF = IA32_OVERCLOCKING_STATUS (0x195) - IA32_PERFEVTSEL0 (0x186),
    0xF = IA32_MCG_EXT_CTL (0x4D0) - IA32_A_PMC0 (0x4C1)
  )

the source of the incorrect number may be:
  18 = 0x12 = IA32_PERF_STATUS (0x198) - IA32_PERFEVTSEL0 (0x186)
but the range covers IA32_OVERCLOCKING_STATUS, which is also architectural.

Cut the list to 14 entries to avoid false positives.
