This series adds support for AMD's Host-Only and Guest-Only performance
counter eventsel bits in KVM's mediated PMU passthrough implementation.
These bits allow an nSVM-enabled guest to configure performance counters
that count only during L1 execution (Host-Only) or only during L2 execution
(Guest-Only).
KVM updates the hardware event selector ENABLE bit at the following state
transitions to ensure counters only count in the appropriate mode:
- EFER.SVME changes: Enable/disable Guest-Only counters
- Nested VMRUN: Disable Host-Only, enable Guest-Only counters
- Nested VMEXIT: Enable Host-Only, disable Guest-Only counters
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20260121225438.3908422-1-jmattson@google.com/
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20260129232835.3710773-1-jmattson@google.com/
v2 -> v3:
* Dropped the svm_enter_guest_mode() and svm_leave_guest_mode()
wrappers introduced in v2 [Yosry]
* Introduced a generic nested_transition callback in kvm_x86_ops to
avoid confusing SVM-specific wrappers and unnecessary code replication
* Fixed a latent bug with L2 stack alignment, which was triggered by
a movdqa instruction in l2_guest_code() that referenced the L2 stack.
Note that l2_guest_code() expects the stack to be 16-byte misaligned
at function entry. It was not.
