Subject: [PATCH v5 0/8] KVM: x86: Intel LBR related perf cleanups
Date: Thu,  6 Oct 2022 00:03:06 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221006000314.73240-1-seanjc@google.com> (raw)

PeterZ, I dropped your ACK from v4 because the perf patches were completely
broken.

Fix a bug where KVM incorrectly advertises PMU_CAP_LBR_FMT to userspace if
perf has disabled LBRs, e.g. because probing one or more LBR MSRs during
setup hit a #GP.

The non-KVM patch cleans up a KVM-specific perf API to fix a benign bug
where KVM ignores the error return from the API.

The remaining patches clean up KVM's PERF_CAPABILITIES mess, which makes
everything far more complex than it needs to be by 

v5:
 - Drop perf patches that removed stubs.  The stubs are sadly necessary
   when CPU_SUP_INTEL=n && KVM_INTEL={m,y}, which is possible due to
   KVM_INTEL effectively depending on INTEL || CENTAUR || ZHAOXIN.
   [hint provided by kernel test robot].
 - Add a patch to ignore guest CPUID on host userspace MSR writes.
 - Add supported PERF_CAPABILITIES to kvm_caps to simplify code for all
   parties.

v4
 - https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220901173258.925729-1-seanjc@google.com:
 - Make vmx_get_perf_capabilities() non-inline to avoid references to
   x86_perf_get_lbr() when CPU_SUP_INTEL=n. [kernel test robot]

v3:
 - https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220831000051.4015031-1-seanjc@google.com
 - Drop patches for bug #1 (already merged).
 - Drop misguided "clean up the capability check" patch. [Like]

v2:
 - https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220803192658.860033-1-seanjc@google.com
 - Add patches to fix bug #2. [Like]
 - Add a patch to clean up the capability check.
 - Tweak the changelog for the PMU refresh bug fix to call out that
   KVM should disallow changing feature MSRs after KVM_RUN. [Like]

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220727233424.2968356-1-seanjc@google.com

Sean Christopherson (8):
  perf/x86/core: Zero @lbr instead of returning -1 in x86_perf_get_lbr()
    stub
  KVM: VMX: Advertise PMU LBRs if and only if perf supports LBRs
  KVM: VMX: Fold vmx_supported_debugctl() into vcpu_supported_debugctl()
  KVM: VMX: Ignore guest CPUID for host userspace writes to DEBUGCTL
  KVM: x86: Track supported PERF_CAPABILITIES in kvm_caps
  KVM: x86: Init vcpu->arch.perf_capabilities in common x86 code
  KVM: x86: Handle PERF_CAPABILITIES in common x86's
    kvm_get_msr_feature()
  KVM: x86: Directly query supported PERF_CAPABILITIES for WRMSR checks
