Subject: [PATCH 10/15] KVM: x86/pmu: Emulate the GLOBAL_STATUS_SET and GLOBAL_INUSE MSRs
Date: Tue,  7 Jul 2026 11:34:00 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260707183405.15571-11-zide.chen@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260707183405.15571-1-zide.chen@intel.com>

Intel PerfMon v4 introduces IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_STATUS_SET (0x391) to
allow software to set individual bits in the global status MSR. Reads
of IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_STATUS_SET always return zero.

IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_INUSE (0x392) is also introduced in v4, to track
which counters and the PMI are currently claimed by other agents,
allowing independent software agents to check counter availability
without a shared scheduler arbitrating between them.

IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_INUSE is an R/O MSR, and any write attempt results
in a #GP.

Neither MSR is part of the VM state, so they don't need to be
advertised to userspace, nor saved and restored during live
migration.
