    KVM: VMX: Adjust number of LBR records for PERF_CAPABILITIES at refresh · 6348aafa
    Sean Christopherson authored
    Now that the PMU is refreshed when MSR_IA32_PERF_CAPABILITIES is written
    by host userspace, zero out the number of LBR records for a vCPU during
    PMU refresh if PMU_CAP_LBR_FMT is not set in PERF_CAPABILITIES instead of
    handling the check at run-time.
    
    guest_cpuid_has() is expensive due to the linear search of guest CPUID
    entries, intel_pmu_lbr_is_enabled() is checked on every VM-Enter, _and_
    simply enumerating the same "Model" as the host causes KVM to set the
    number of LBR records to a non-zero value.
