Subject: [PATCH v3 01/11] KVM: x86/pmu: Update comments for AMD gp counters
Date: Mon, 11 Apr 2022 17:35:27 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220411093537.11558-2-likexu@tencent.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220411093537.11558-1-likexu@tencent.com>
From: Like Xu <likexu@tencent.com>
The obsolete comment could more accurately state that AMD platforms
have two base MSR addresses and two different maximum numbers
for gp counters, depending on the X86_FEATURE_PERFCTR_CORE feature.
