commit 9fb12fe5b93b94b9e607509ba461e17f4cc6a264 upstream.
The fixed counter 3 is used for the Topdown metrics, which hasn't been enabled for KVM guests. Userspace accessing to it will fail as it's not included in get_fixed_pmc(). This breaks KVM selftests on ICX+ machines, which have this counter.
To reproduce it on ICX+ machines, ./state_test reports: ==== Test Assertion Failure ==== lib/x86_64/processor.c:1078: r == nmsrs pid=4564 tid=4564 - Argument list too long 1 0x000000000040b1b9: vcpu_save_state at processor.c:1077 2 0x0000000000402478: main at state_test.c:209 (discriminator 6) 3 0x00007fbe21ed5f92: ?? ??:0 4 0x000000000040264d: _start at ??:? Unexpected result from KVM_GET_MSRS, r: 17 (failed MSR was 0x30c)
With this patch, it works well.
