Linux kernel source tree

MSR_F15H_PERF_CTL0-5, MSR_F15H_PERF_CTR0-5 MSRs are only available when X86_FEATURE_PERFCTR_CORE CPUID bit was exposed to the guest. KVM, however, allows these MSRs unconditionally because kvm_pmu_is_valid_msr() -> amd_msr_idx_to_pmc() check always passes and because kvm_pmu_set_msr() -> amd_pmu_set_msr() doesn't fail. In case of a counter (CTRn), no big harm is done as we only increase internal PMC's value but in case of an eventsel (CTLn), we go deep into perf internals with a non-existing counter. Note, kvm_get_msr_common() just returns '0' when these MSRs don't exist and this also seems to contradict architectural behavior which is #GP (I did check one old Opteron host) but changing this status quo is a bit scarier.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
