[PATCH] perf/x86/amd: Don't touch the Host-only bit inside the guest hypervisor
Posted by Dongli Si 4 years, 3 months ago
From: Dongli Si <sidongli1997@gmail.com>

When using nested virtualization and if use "perf record" in an AMD Rome
and Milan guest hypervisor (L1), dmesg report an error message like this:

[ ] unchecked MSR access error: WRMSR to 0xc0010200 (tried to write 0x0000020000510076) at rIP: 0xffffffff81003a50 (x86_pmu_enable_all+0x60/0x100)

The AMD64_EVENTSEL_HOSTONLY bit is defined and used on the host, while
the guest hypervisor (L1) performance monitor unit should avoid such use.

Fixes: 1018faa6cf23 ("perf/x86/kvm: Fix Host-Only/Guest-Only counting with SVM disabled")
