Subject: [PATCH V2 08/11] target/i386: Clean up LBR format handling
Date: Wed, 28 Jan 2026 15:09:45 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260128231003.268981-9-zide.chen@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260128231003.268981-1-zide.chen@intel.com>
Since the lbr-fmt property is masked with PERF_CAP_LBR_FMT in
DEFINE_PROP_UINT64_CHECKMASK(), there is no need to explicitly validate
user-requested lbr-fmt values.
The PMU feature is only supported when running under KVM, so initialize
cpu->lbr_fmt in kvm_cpu_instance_init(). Use -1 as the default lbr-fmt,
rather than initializing it with ~PERF_CAP_LBR_FMT, which is misleading
as it suggests a semantic relationship that does not exist.
Rename requested_lbr_fmt to a more generic guest_fmt. When lbr-fmt is
not specified and cpu->migratable is false, the guest lbr_fmt value is
not user-requested.
