Subject: [PATCH v4 6/6] target/i386: Add Topdown metrics feature support
Date: Wed, 3 Jun 2026 19:55:46 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260604025546.19378-7-zide.chen@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260604025546.19378-1-zide.chen@intel.com>
From: Dapeng Mi <dapeng1.mi@linux.intel.com>
IA32_PERF_CAPABILITIES.PERF_METRICS_AVAILABLE (bit 15) indicates that
the CPU provides built-in support for TMA L1 metrics through
the PERF_METRICS MSR. Expose it as a user-visible CPU feature
("perf-metrics"), allowing it to be explicitly enabled or disabled and
used with migratable guests.
Handle IA32_PERF_METRICS in the KVM MSR get/put paths to save and
restore it. Migrate IA32_PERF_METRICS MSR using a new subsection of
vmstate_msr_architectural_pmu.
