KVM: x86/pmu: do not mask the value that is written to fixed PMUs
[ Upstream commit 2924b521 ] According to the SDM, for MSR_IA32_PERFCTR0/1 "the lower-order 32 bits of each MSR may be written with any value, and the high-order 8 bits are sign-extended according to the value of bit 31", but the fixed counters in real hardware are limited to the width of the fixed counters ("bits beyond the width of the fixed-function counter are reserved and must be written as zeros"). Fix KVM to do the same. Reported-by: Nadav Amit <nadav.amit@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
