Subject: [PATCH v3 1/2] perf/x86: Skip checking x86_pmu.lbr_tos if it doesn't exist
Date: Tue, 18 May 2021 22:26:11 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210518142612.200111-1-like.xu@linux.intel.com> (raw)

The Architecture LBR does not have MSR_LBR_TOS (0x000001c9).
In a guest that should support Architecture LBR, check_msr()
will be a non-related check for the architecture MSR 0x0
(IA32_P5_MC_ADDR) that is also not supported by KVM.

The failure will cause x86_pmu.lbr_nr = 0, thereby preventing
the initialization of the guest Arch LBR. Fix it by avoiding
this extraneous check in intel_pmu_init() for Arch LBR.

Fixes: 47125db27e47 ("perf/x86/intel/lbr: Support Architectural LBR")
