Subject: [PATCH v4 04/10] perf/x86/intel: Make @data a mandatory param for intel_guest_get_msrs()
Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2026 12:14:12 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260921191418.950933-5-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260921191418.950933-1-seanjc@google.com>
Drop "support" for passing a NULL @data/@kvm_pmu param when getting guest
MSRs. KVM, the only in-tree user, unconditionally passes a non-NULL
pointer, and carrying code that suggests @data may be NULL is confusing,
e.g. incorrectly implies that there are scenarios where KVM doesn't pass
a PMU context.
Fixes: 8183a538cd95 ("KVM: x86/pmu: Add IA32_DS_AREA MSR emulation to support guest DS")
