Subject: [PATCH 02/10] KVM: x86/pmu: Do not mask LVTPC when handling a PMI on AMD platforms
Date: Fri, 5 Apr 2024 16:55:55 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240405235603.1173076-3-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240405235603.1173076-1-seanjc@google.com>
From: Sandipan Das <sandipan.das@amd.com>
On AMD and Hygon platforms, the local APIC does not automatically set
the mask bit of the LVTPC register when handling a PMI and there is
no need to clear it in the kernel's PMI handler.
For guests, the mask bit is currently set by kvm_apic_local_deliver()
and unless it is cleared by the guest kernel's PMI handler, PMIs stop
arriving and break use-cases like sampling with perf record.
This does not affect non-PerfMonV2 guests because PMIs are handled in
the guest kernel by x86_pmu_handle_irq() which always clears the LVTPC
mask bit irrespective of the vendor.
Before:
$ perf record -e cycles:u true
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.001 MB perf.data (1 samples) ]
After:
$ perf record -e cycles:u true
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.002 MB perf.data (19 samples) ]
