By "KVM", do you mean KVM's loading of the MSRs provided by intel_guest_get_msrs()?
Because the PMU should really be the entity that controls guest vs. host. KVM
should just be a dumb pipe that handles the mechanics of how values are context
switch.
For example, commit 7099e2e1f4d9 ("KVM: VMX: disable PEBS before a guest entry"),
where KVM does an explicit WRMSR(PEBS_ENABLE) to (attempt to) force PEBS
quiescence, is flawed in that the PMU can re-enable PEBS after the WRMSR if a
PMI arrives between the WRMSR and VM-Enter (because VMX can't block NMIs). The
PMU really needs to be involved in the WRMSR workaround.

Are PEBS updates guaranteed to be isolated in both directions on relevant
hardware? By that I mean, will host updates be fully processed before VM-Enter
compeletes, and guest updates before VM-Exit completes? If that's the case,
then this path could be optimized to change the KVM invocation of the NMI
handler so that the "is this a guest PEBS PMI" check is done if and only if the
PMI originated from with the guest.
