Subject: [PATCH v2 0/5] KVM: x86/pmu: Add support for AMD Host-Only/Guest-Only bits
Date: Thu, 29 Jan 2026 15:28:05 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260129232835.3710773-1-jmattson@google.com> (raw)

This series adds support for AMD's Host-Only and Guest-Only performance
counter eventsel bits in KVM's mediated PMU passthrough implementation.

These bits allow an nSVM-enabled guest to configure performance counters
that count only during L1 execution (Host-Only) or only during L2 execution
(Guest-Only).

KVM updates the hardware event selector ENABLE bit at the following state
transitions to ensure counters only count in the appropriate mode:

  - EFER.SVME changes: Enable/disable Guest-Only counters
  - Nested VMRUN: Disable Host-Only, enable Guest-Only counters
  - Nested VMEXIT: Enable Host-Only, disable Guest-Only counters

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20260121225438.3908422-1-jmattson@google.com/

v1 -> v2:
  - Fixed various style issues, including indentation, comment
    placement, and comparison to 0 [Sean]
  - Replaced "hg_only" with "host_guest" [Sean]
  - Reversed the polarity of the dormant/active logic [Sean]
  - Removed the pmc_hostonly and pmc_guestonly bitmaps [Sean]
  - Added a refresh helper that iterates over PMCs during transitions [Sean]
  - Introduced svm_enter_guest_mode() and svm_leave_guest_mode() [Sean]
  - Moved transition logic from VMRUN/VMEXIT emulation to the above [Sean]
  - Moved architectural definitions in the selftest to pmu.h [Sean]
  - Added a test for neither Host-Only nor Guest-Only [Sean]
  - Refactored the selftest to program all 4 bit combinations
    simultaneously, reducing code replication [Sean]
