Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] RISC-V: KVM: Add PMU event filter support
Date: Fri, 7 Aug 2026 13:32:26 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260807053227.341700-2-yhchen312@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260807053227.341700-1-yhchen312@gmail.com>
Allow userspace to restrict which SBI PMU events a guest is permitted
to program via the new VM ioctl KVM_SET_PMU_EVENT_FILTER. It takes a
struct kvm_pmu_event_filter whose events[] array holds SBI PMU event
indices encoded as (type << 16) | code. The action field selects ALLOW
(only listed events may be programmed) or DENY (listed events are
rejected); nevents == 0 clears any active filter.
The filter is enforced in kvm_riscv_vcpu_pmu_ctr_cfg_match(), where a
disallowed event fails configuration with SBI_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED. It
governs new counter configuration only and is not retroactive. The
filter lives in struct kvm_arch, read via SRCU on the vCPU run path and
replaced under kvm->lock with synchronize_srcu_expedited(). Event
indices are masked to their valid bits before comparison, so reserved
high bits cannot bypass a DENY filter.
Advertise the feature with KVM_CAP_PMU_EVENT_FILTER.
