[PATCH v8 14/26] KVM: selftests: Test Intel PMU architectural events on fixed counters
From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Thu Nov 09 2023 - 21:14:31 EST
From: Jinrong Liang <cloudliang@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Extend the PMU counters test to validate architectural events using fixed
counters. The core logic is largely the same, the biggest difference
being that if a fixed counter exists, its associated event is available
(the SDM doesn't explicitly state this to be true, but it's KVM's ABI and
letting software program a fixed counter that doesn't actually count would
be quite bizarre).
Note, fixed counters rely on PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL.
