Subject: [PATCH 07/23] perf/x86: Apply PMU partition mask on static constraints
Date: Fri, 21 Aug 2026 15:19:46 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260821222002.54907-8-zide.chen@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260821222002.54907-1-zide.chen@intel.com>

Static, counter-specific constraints used for attr.precise_ip == 3, or
other special cases bypass intel_get_event_constraints(), which is
where partition_mask is applied via dyn_constraint().

As a result, such a host !exclude_guest event can still be scheduled
onto a counter that partition_mask reserves for the guest, causing
host and guest to share the same hardware counter.

Some of these static constraint paths, e.g. glp or cmt, are currently
only reachable on platforms that don't support PerfMon masking. Still,
apply part_constraint() to all of them uniformly, so future platforms
that combine PerfMon masking with these constraint paths are not
silently exposed to this bug.
