perf/x86/intel: Protect LBR and extra_regs against KVM lying
With -cpu host, KVM reports LBR and extra_regs support, if the host has support. When the guest perf driver tries to access LBR or extra_regs MSR, it #GPs all MSR accesses,since KVM doesn't handle LBR and extra_regs support. So check the related MSRs access right once at initialization time to avoid the error access at runtime. For reproducing the issue, please build the kernel with CONFIG_KVM_INTEL = y (for host kernel). And CONFIG_PARAVIRT = n and CONFIG_KVM_GUEST = n (for guest kernel). Start the guest with -cpu host. Run perf record with --branch-any or --branch-filter in guest to trigger LBR Run perf stat offcore events (E.g. LLC-loads/LLC-load-misses ...) in guest to trigger offcore_rsp #GP Signed-off-by: Kan Liang <kan.liang@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@kernel.org> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Maria Dimakopoulou <maria.n.dimakopoulou@gmail.com> Cc: Mark Davies <junk@eslaf.co.uk> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Cc: Yan, Zheng <zheng.z.yan@intel.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1405365957-20202-1-git-send-email-kan.liang@intel.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
