When the PERFCORE is disabled with "-cpu host,-perfctr-core", it is
reflected in in guest dmesg.
[ 0.285136] Performance Events: AMD PMU driver.
However, the guest cpuid indicates the PerfMonV2 is still available.
CPU:
Extended Performance Monitoring and Debugging (0x80000022):
AMD performance monitoring V2 = true
AMD LBR V2 = false
AMD LBR stack & PMC freezing = false
number of core perf ctrs = 0x6 (6)
number of LBR stack entries = 0x0 (0)
number of avail Northbridge perf ctrs = 0x0 (0)
number of available UMC PMCs = 0x0 (0)
active UMCs bitmask = 0x0
Disable PerfMonV2 in cpuid when PERFCORE is disabled.

You can define dependency like this:

Does this meet your needs?

Thank you very much for the suggestion.
Yes, this works. The PERFCORE is a prerequisite of PERFMON_V2 (according to
Linux kernel source code).
1403 static int __init amd_core_pmu_init(void)
1404 {
1405 union cpuid_0x80000022_ebx ebx;
1406 u64 even_ctr_mask = 0ULL;
1407 int i;
1408
1409 if (!boot_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_PERFCTR_CORE))
1410 return 0;
If you don't mind, I will send the v2 with your Suggested-by.
Thank you very much!
