[PATCH 0/2] RISC-V: KVM: Add PMU event filter support

["Yuhang.chen" <yhchen312@gmail.com>]

This series adds PMU event filter support to RISC-V KVM, allowing a
userspace VMM to restrict which SBI PMU events a guest is permitted to
program.

The KVM_SET_PMU_EVENT_FILTER ioctl and KVM_CAP_PMU_EVENT_FILTER already
exist as generic KVM uAPI (include/uapi/linux/kvm.h); RISC-V KVM does
not yet implement them.  Wiring them up lets a VMM limit a guest's PMU
event access, which is useful for sandboxing and for withholding host
PMU events the host does not intend to expose.

Patch 1 implements the kernel side: the uapi struct, the ioctl handler
with an SRCU-protected filter, enforcement in
kvm_riscv_vcpu_pmu_ctr_cfg_match() (a disallowed event fails with
SBI_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED), and advertisement of KVM_CAP_PMU_EVENT_FILTER.

Patch 2 adds a selftest that covers the ALLOW/DENY semantics with the
event in and out of the list, filter clearing, and ioctl argument
rejection (EINVAL/E2BIG).

Testing: built and run under QEMU TCG with nested KVM (an L1 KVM host
running an L2 guest).  The selftest (patch 2) passes - all ALLOW/DENY
and argument-validation cases behave as expected - and dmesg stays
clean throughout the run.

Based on v7.2-rc2 (a635d6748234).
