Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2026 19:19:11 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260921191911.C7DCB1F000FF@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260921191418.950933-6-seanjc@google.com>
> Rename intel_ctrl_{guest,host}_mask to intel_ctrl_exclude_{host,guest}_mask
> to more accurately capture what they actually track. Specifically, an
> event that is excluded from the guest is NOT guaranteed to count in the
> host, and vice versa, as it legal (albeit bizarre) to configure an event to
> exclude both the host and the guest, i.e. to not count at all.

> Subjectively (though anyone who disagrees is wrong), aligning with
