Subject: [PATCH v3 12/18] KVM: x86/pmu: Emulate IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_INUSE MSR
Date: Thu, 5 Nov 2026 18:39:21 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261106013927.166209-13-zide.chen@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261106013927.166209-1-zide.chen@intel.com>
Intel PerfMon v4 introduces IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_INUSE (0x392) to track
which counters and the PMI are currently claimed by software agents,
allowing independent software agents to check counter availability
without a shared scheduler arbitrating between them.
IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_INUSE is a read-only MSR, and any write attempt
results in a #GP. The MSR is not part of the VM state, so it does
not need to be advertised to userspace, nor saved and restored during
live migration.
Always intercept IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_INUSE to prevent the guest from
erroneously observing filtered fixed counters as idle.

Signed-off-by: Zide Chen <zide.chen@intel.com>
---
v3:
- Split from combined v2 patch into standalone GLOBAL_INUSE patch.
- Always intercept MSR_CORE_PERF_GLOBAL_INUSE. (Jim)
- Use '!!' for explicit boolean conversion. (Jim)
- Relocate PERF_GLOBAL_INUSE_PMI_INUSE to perf_event.h.
v2:
- Change intel_pmu_get_global_inuse() to return u64, to match the
surrounding code style.
- Add the missing vmcs02 updates for these two MSRs.
- Change "> 3" to ">= 4" to make the "v4-gated" more obvious and match
the existing code style.
