[RFC PATCH v4 33/39] KVM: arm64: Allow guest to use physical timestamps if perfmon_capable()

From: Alexandru Elisei
Date: Wed Aug 25 2021 - 12:18:52 EST


The SPE driver allows userspace to use physical timestamps for records only
if the process if perfmon_capable(). Do the same for a virtual machine with
the SPE feature.
