    KVM: x86/pmu: Restrict advanced features based on module enable_pmu · 6ef25aa0
    Like Xu authored
    Once vPMU is disabled, the KVM would not expose features like:
    PEBS (via clear kvm_pmu_cap.pebs_ept), legacy LBR and ARCH_LBR,
    CPUID 0xA leaf, PDCM bit and MSR_IA32_PERF_CAPABILITIES, plus
    PT_MODE_HOST_GUEST mode.
    
    What this group of features has in common is that their use
    relies on the underlying PMU counter and the host perf_event as a
    back-end resource requester or sharing part of the irq delivery path.
