KVM: x86/pmu: Do not mask LVTPC when handling a PMI on AMD platforms
BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2067959 commit 49ff3b4aec51e3abfc9369997cc603319b02af9a upstream. On AMD and Hygon platforms, the local APIC does not automatically set the mask bit of the LVTPC register when handling a PMI and there is no need to clear it in the kernel's PMI handler. For guests, the mask bit is currently set by kvm_apic_local_deliver() and unless it is cleared by the guest kernel's PMI handler, PMIs stop arriving and break use-cases like sampling with perf record. This does not affect non-PerfMonV2 guests because PMIs are handled in the guest kernel by x86_pmu_handle_irq() which always clears the LVTPC mask bit irrespective of the vendor. Before: $ perf record -e cycles:u true [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.001 MB perf.data (1 samples) ] After: $ perf record -e cycles:u true [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.002 MB perf.data (19 samples) ] Fixes: a16eb25 ("KVM: x86: Mask LVTPC when handling a PMI") Cc: [email protected] Signed-off-by: Sandipan Das <[email protected]> Reviewed-by: Jim Mattson <[email protected]> [sean: use is_intel_compatible instead of !is_amd_or_hygon()] Signed-off-by: Sean Christopherson <[email protected]> Message-ID: <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Portia Stephens <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Stefan Bader <[email protected]>
