Subject: [PATCH 09/23] perf: Skip exclude_guest events on PMU partitioned counters
Date: Fri, 21 Aug 2026 15:19:48 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260821222002.54907-10-zide.chen@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260821222002.54907-1-zide.chen@intel.com>

From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@linux.intel.com>

Without PMU partitioning, a PMU with PERF_PMU_CAP_MEDIATED_VPMU blocks
host event scheduling while the guest PMU context is loaded.

When PMU partitioning is enabled, host-owned counters remain available.
Skip exclude_guest events, but continue to allow other events to be
scheduled on the remaining host-owned counters.
