If AMD Performance Monitoring Version 2 (PerfMonV2) is detected by the guest, it can use a new scheme to manage the Core PMCs using the new global control and status registers. In addition to benefiting from the PerfMonV2 functionality in the same way as the host (higher precision), the guest also can reduce the number of vm-exits by lowering the total number of MSRs accesses. In terms of implementation details, amd_is_valid_msr() is resurrected since three newly added MSRs could not be mapped to one vPMC. The possibility of emulating PerfMonV2 on the mainframe has also been eliminated for reasons of precision.
