Merge tag 'kvm-x86-pmu-6.9' of https://github.com/kvm-x86/linux into HEAD

KVM x86 PMU changes for 6.9:

 - 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.
