Hi Luwei, Thank you for the patch! Yet something to improve: [auto build test ERROR on kvm/linux-next] [also build test ERROR on tip/perf/core tip/auto-latest v5.6-rc4 next-20200306] [if your patch is applied to the wrong git tree, please drop us a note to help improve the system. BTW, we also suggest to use '--base' option to specify the base tree in git format-patch, please see https://stackoverflow.com/a/37406982] url: https://github.com/0day-ci/linux/commits/Luwei-Kang/PEBS-virtualization-enabling-via-DS/20200306-013049 base: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm.git linux-next config: x86_64-randconfig-h003-20200305 (attached as .config) compiler: gcc-7 (Debian 7.5.0-5) 7.5.0 reproduce: # save the attached .config to linux build tree make ARCH=x86_64 If you fix the issue, kindly add following tag Reported-by: kbuild test robot All errors (new ones prefixed by >>): ld: arch/x86/kvm/pmu.o: in function `pmc_reprogram_counter': >> arch/x86/kvm/pmu.c:199: undefined reference to `perf_x86_pmu_unset_auto_reload' vim +199 arch/x86/kvm/pmu.c 101 102 static void pmc_reprogram_counter(struct kvm_pmc *pmc, u32 type, 103 unsigned config, bool exclude_user, 104 bool exclude_kernel, bool intr, 105 bool in_tx, bool in_tx_cp) 106 { 107 struct kvm_pmu *pmu = vcpu_to_pmu(pmc->vcpu); 108 struct perf_event *event; 109 struct perf_event_attr attr = { 110 .type = type, 111 .size = sizeof(attr), 112 .pinned = true, 113 .exclude_idle = true, 114 .exclude_host = 1, 115 .exclude_user = exclude_user, 116 .exclude_kernel = exclude_kernel, 117 .config = config, 118 .disabled = 1, 119 }; 120 bool pebs = test_bit(pmc->idx, (unsigned long *)&pmu->pebs_enable); 121 122 attr.sample_period = (-pmc->counter) & pmc_bitmask(pmc); 123 124 if (in_tx) 125 attr.config |= HSW_IN_TX; 126 if (in_tx_cp) { 127 /* 128 * HSW_IN_TX_CHECKPOINTED is not supported with nonzero 129 * period.
