Subject: [PATCH] RDMSR before test_cpu_capacity brings about KVM warning
Date: Fri, 14 Aug 2015 18:07:37 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1439546857-12791-1-git-send-email-huaitong.han@intel.com> (raw)

rdmsrl_safe does not lead to #GP in native kernel although CPU
does not support INTEL_PT, but if KVM does not support INTEL_PT,
the codes cannot understand MSR_IA32_RTIT_CTL, and the warning
is produced.

If KVM does not support INTEL_PT, its guest CPUID also does not.
So test_cpu_cap is added before RDMSR, and it is more in line with
the code style.
