Subject: [RFC v3 13/24] target/arm/cpu: Set number of PMU counters in KVM
Date: Tue, 25 Aug 2026 16:00:50 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260825220101.3443954-14-mathieu.poirier@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260825220101.3443954-1-mathieu.poirier@linaro.org>
From: Jean-Philippe Brucker <jean-philippe@linaro.org>
Add a "num-pmu-counters" CPU parameter to configure the number of
counters that KVM presents to the guest. This is needed for Realm VMs,
whose parameters include the number of PMU counters and influence the
Realm Initial Measurement.
