Subject: [PATCH v4 00/23] ARM64 PMU Partitioning
Date: Mon, 14 Jul 2025 22:58:54 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250714225917.1396543-1-coltonlewis@google.com> (raw)
This series creates a new PMU scheme on ARM, a partitioned PMU that
allows reserving a subset of counters for more direct guest access,
significantly reducing overhead. More details, including performance
benchmarks, can be read in the v1 cover letter linked below.
v4:
* Apply Mark Brown's non-UNDEF FGT control commit to the PMU FGT
controls and calculate those controls with the others in
kvm_calculate_traps()
* Introduce lazy context swaps for guests that only turns on for
guests that have enabled partitioning and accessed PMU registers.
* Rename pmu-part.c to pmu-direct.c because future features might
achieve direct PMU access without partitioning.
* Better explain certain commits, such as why the untrapped registers
are safe to untrap.
* Reduce the PMU include cleanup down to only what is still necessary
and explain why.
