Subject: [PATCH v9 12/12] KVM: x86/pmu: Support RDPMC Metrics Clear Mode
Date: Fri, 18 Sep 2026 12:39:37 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260918193937.569414-13-zide.chen@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260918193937.569414-1-zide.chen@intel.com>

Add PERF_CAP_RDPMC_METRICS_CLEAR (IA32_PERF_CAPABILITIES bit 19)
support. When set, and IA32_FIXED_CTR_CTRL.METRICS_CLEAR_EN (bit 14)
is also set, RDPMC of PERF_METRICS clears both PERF_METRICS and fixed
counter 3 (SLOTS) after the read.

Advertise the capability to guests only when the mediated PMU is
enabled and the host reports it. Unmask FIXED_CTR_CTRL bit 14 in
intel_pmu_refresh(), scoped to fixed counter 3 only via
intel_fixed_bits_by_idx().

For the mediated PMU, METRICS_CLEAR_EN takes effect natively via
passthrough. But kvm_need_rdpmc_intercept() can still force
interception for unrelated reasons, so intel_emulate_rdpmc() also
replicates the clear-on-read behavior for consistency.
