From 49ff3b4aec51e3abfc9369997cc603319b02af9a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sandipan Das sandipan.das@amd.com Date: Fri, 5 Apr 2024 16:55:55 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86/pmu: Do not mask LVTPC when handling a PMI on AMD platforms
On AMD and Hygon platforms, the local APIC does not automatically set the mask bit of the LVTPC register when handling a PMI and there is no need to clear it in the kernel's PMI handler.
For guests, the mask bit is currently set by kvm_apic_local_deliver() and unless it is cleared by the guest kernel's PMI handler, PMIs stop arriving and break use-cases like sampling with perf record.
This does not affect non-PerfMonV2 guests because PMIs are handled in the guest kernel by x86_pmu_handle_irq() which always clears the LVTPC mask bit irrespective of the vendor.
Before:
$ perf record -e cycles:u true [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.001 MB perf.data (1 samples) ]
After:
$ perf record -e cycles:u true [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.002 MB perf.data (19 samples) ]
