[PATCH v12 09/11] KVM: vmx/pmu: Emulate legacy freezing LBRs on virtual PMI

From: Like Xu
Date: Sat Jun 13 2020 - 04:12:07 EST


The current vPMU only supports Architecture Version 2. According to
Intel SDM "17.4.7 Freezing LBR and Performance Counters on PMI", if
IA32_DEBUGCTL.Freeze_LBR_On_PMI = 1, the LBR is frozen on the virtual
PMI and the KVM would emulate to clear the LBR bit (bit 0) in
IA32_DEBUGCTL. Also guest needs to re-enable IA32_DEBUGCTL.LBR
to resume recording branches.
