Subject: [PATCH 2/3] KVM: vPMU: Fill get_msr MSR_CORE_PERF_GLOBAL_OVF_CTRL w/ 0
Date: Fri,  8 Oct 2021 02:57:33 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1633687054-18865-2-git-send-email-wanpengli@tencent.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1633687054-18865-1-git-send-email-wanpengli@tencent.com>

From: Wanpeng Li <wanpengli@tencent.com>

SDM section 18.2.3 mentioned that:

  "IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_OVF_CTL MSR allows software to clear overflow indicator(s) of 
   any general-purpose or fixed-function counters via a single WRMSR."

It is R/W mentioned by SDM, we read this msr on bare-metal during perf testing, 
the value is always 0 for CLX/SKX boxes on hands. Let's fill get_msr
MSR_CORE_PERF_GLOBAL_OVF_CTRL w/ 0 as hardware behavior.

Btw, xen also fills get_msr MSR_CORE_PERF_GLOBAL_OVF_CTRL 0.
