    kvm: x86/cpuid: Only provide CPUID leaf 0xA if host has architectural PMU · 5a1bde46
    Sandipan Das authored
    On some x86 processors, CPUID leaf 0xA provides information
    on Architectural Performance Monitoring features. It
    advertises a PMU version which Qemu uses to determine the
    availability of additional MSRs to manage the PMCs.
    
    Upon receiving a KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID ioctl request for
    the same, the kernel constructs return values based on the
    x86_pmu_capability irrespective of the vendor.
    
    This leaf and the additional MSRs are not supported on AMD
    and Hygon processors. If AMD PerfMonV2 is detected, the PMU
    version is set to 2 and guest startup breaks because of an
    attempt to access a non-existent MSR. Return zeros to avoid
    this.
