- Fix several bugs where KVM speciously prevents the guest from utilizing
fixed counters and architectural event encodings based on whether or not
guest CPUID reports support for the _architectural_ encoding.
- Fix a variety of bugs in KVM's emulation of RDPMC, e.g. for "fast" reads,
priority of VMX interception vs #GP, PMC types in architectural PMUs, etc.
- Add a selftest to verify KVM correctly emulates RDMPC, counter availability,
and a variety of other PMC-related behaviors that depend on guest CPUID,
i.e. are difficult to validate via KVM-Unit-Tests.
- Zero out PMU metadata on AMD if the virtual PMU is disabled to avoid wasting
cycles, e.g. when checking if a PMC event needs to be synthesized when
skipping an instruction.
- Optimize triggering of emulated events, e.g. for "count instructions" events
when skipping an instruction, which yields a ~10% performance improvement in
VM-Exit microbenchmarks when a vPMU is exposed to the guest.
- Tighten the check for "PMI in guest" to reduce false positives if an NMI
arrives in the host while KVM is handling an IRQ VM-Exit.
