[PATCH v2 05/15] KVM: vmx/pmu: Emulate MSR_ARCH_LBR_DEPTH for guest Arch LBR

From: Yang Weijiang
Date: Fri Nov 25 2022 - 01:10:19 EST


From: Like Xu <like.xu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The number of Arch LBR entries available is determined by the value
in host MSR_ARCH_LBR_DEPTH.DEPTH. The supported LBR depth values are
enumerated in CPUID.(EAX=01CH, ECX=0):EAX[7:0]. For each bit "n" set
in this field, the MSR_ARCH_LBR_DEPTH.DEPTH value of "8*(n+1)" is
supported. In the first generation of Arch LBR, max entry size is 32,
host configures the max size and guest always honors the setting.

Write to MSR_ARCH_LBR_DEPTH has side-effect, all LBR entries are reset
to 0. Kernel PMU driver can leverage this effect to do fask reset to
LBR record MSRs. KVM allows guest to achieve it when Arch LBR records
MSRs are passed through to the guest.
