Hi Sean,

Thanks for your detailed review on the patch set.

How come ? The testcases depth = {65, 127, 128} get #GP as expected.

Emm, the "%" operation is quite normal over kernel code.

if (best && depth && !(depth % 8))
    10659:       48 85 c0                test   rax,rax
    1065c:       74 c7                   je     10625 <intel_pmu_set_msr+0x65>
    1065e:       4d 85 e4                test   r12,r12
    10661:       74 c2                   je     10625 <intel_pmu_set_msr+0x65>
    10663:       41 f6 c4 07             test   r12b,0x7
    10667:       75 bc                   jne    10625 <intel_pmu_set_msr+0x65>

It looks like the compiler does the right thing.
Do you see the room for optimization ？
