[KVM x86 vPMU Patch 0/2] Two vPMU Trivial Patches

[Wei Huang]

These two trivial patches are related to x86 vPMU code. They were
actually suggested by Andrew Jones while he was reviewing the last
big vPMU patch set.

These patches have been compiled and tested on AMD system using
a 64-bit guest VM with various perf commands (e.g. bench, test, top, 
stat). No obvious problems were found.

Thanks,

[KVM x86 vPMU Patch 1/2] KVM: x86/vPMU: Move the definition of kvm_pmu_ops to arch-specific files

[Wei Huang]

Instead of being defined in a common header file, the kvm_pmu_ops struct
is arch (vmx/svm) specific. This trivial patch relocates two extern
variable definition to their arch-specific files.

[KVM x86 vPMU Patch 2/2] KVM: x86/vPMU: Fix unnecessary signed extension for AMD PERFCTRn

[Wei Huang]

According to AMD programmer's manual, AMD PERFCTRn is 64-bit MSR which,
unlike Intel perf counters, doesn't require signed extension. This
patch removes the unnecessary conversion in SVM vPMU code when PERFCTRn
is being updated.

Applied patch 2.  For patch 1 I'm not sure, because I do not really like
1) externs in .c files; 2) globals with no declarations in a .h file.
So I'm leaving it out while I think more about it.

Thanks. The first one is minor anyway. I won't complain about it. :-)
