[PATCH v2 2/2] KVM: x86: Drop guest CPUID check for host initiated writes to MSR_IA32_PERF_CAPABILITIES

From: Vitaly Kuznetsov
Date: Thu Dec 16 2021 - 11:52:34 EST


The ability to write to MSR_IA32_PERF_CAPABILITIES from the host should
not depend on guest visible CPUID entries, even if just to allow
creating/restoring guest MSRs and CPUIDs in any sequence.

Fixes: 27461da31089 ("KVM: x86/pmu: Support full width counting")
