Subject: [PATCH 17/23] KVM: x86/pmu: Handle GLOBAL_CTRL under PerfMon masking
Date: Fri, 21 Aug 2026 15:19:56 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260821222002.54907-18-zide.chen@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260821222002.54907-1-zide.chen@intel.com>
Guest writes must be gated, and guest reads masked, with
pmu->global_ctrl_rsvd rather than pmu->perfmon_mask, because bits
63:52 in global_ctrl_rsvd are guaranteed to be cleared, and bits 51:0
are the complement between the two masks.
Since the host could schedule !exclude_guest events on host-owned
resources in non-root mode, OR the host-owned bits into
GUEST_IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL when loading guest PMU state. The host-
owned bits are supposed to be set during perf_load_guest_context().
Add a host_global_ctrl parameter to the mediated_load() callback so
that the host value can be available before the register is cleared.
This allows intel_mediated_pmu_load() to preserve host-owned bits.
When caching pmu->global_ctrl at VM exit, mask the guest value with
pmu->global_ctrl_rsvd to retain guest-owned bits only.
