[PATCH] KVM: selftests: x86: Skip unsupported test when Arch LBR is available
Posted by Yang Weijiang 3 years, 12 months ago
On Arch LBR capable platforms, LBR_FMT in perf capability msr is 0x3f,
so skip invalid format test if it's running on these platforms.
Opportunistically change the file name to reflect the tests actually
carried out.

Why not try a different value?

OK, I'll select a "real" invalid format and re-post the patch, thanks!
