Subject: [PATCH 2/3] powerpc/perf: Use the aggregate context switch values from vcpu struct
Date: Tue, 11 Aug 2026 19:33:08 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260811140313.15397-3-gautam@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260811140313.15397-1-gautam@linux.ibm.com>

The vpa-pmu driver reports incorrect numbers in 2 scenarios:

1. The vCPU process gets rescheduled to a different host cpu
    - Incorrect numbers are observed here because the PACA is per-host cpu
      resource, and the KVM vCPUs can be rescheduled to different
      host cpus. This causes the vpa-pmu driver to subtract wrong values
      when vCPUs are rescheduled.

2. The vCPU is not running when vpa_pmu_read() is called.
    - In this case get_counter_data() returns 0, and this can result in
      negative numbers getting reported.

Fix the above issues by using the aggregate values from the vcpu
structure to capture and report the difference in counter values.
