[PATCH 06/10] KVM: x86/pmu: Process only enabled PMCs when emulating events in software

From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Thu Nov 09 2023 - 21:29:24 EST


Mask off disabled counters based on PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL *before* iterating
over PMCs to emulate (branch) instruction required events in software. In
the common case where the guest isn't utilizing the PMU, pre-checking for
enabled counters turns a relatively expensive search into a few AND uops
and a Jcc.

Sadly, PMUs without PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL, e.g. most existing AMD CPUs, are out
of luck as there is no way to check that a PMC isn't being used without
checking the PMC's event selector.
