[PATCH V10 04/18] perf/x86/core: Pass "struct kvm_pmu *" to determine the guest values

From: Zhu Lingshan
Date: Fri Aug 06 2021 - 09:38:58 EST


From: Like Xu <like.xu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Splitting the logic for determining the guest values is unnecessarily
confusing, and potentially fragile. Perf should have full knowledge and
control of what values are loaded for the guest.

If we change .guest_get_msrs() to take a struct kvm_pmu pointer, then it
can generate the full set of guest values by grabbing guest ds_area and
pebs_data_cfg. Alternatively, .guest_get_msrs() could take the desired
guest MSR values directly (ds_area and pebs_data_cfg), but kvm_pmu is
vendor agnostic, so we don't see any reason to not just pass the pointer.
