Like Xu 69e575dd4f perf/x86/intel: Handle guest PEBS overflow PMI for KVM guest
With PEBS virtualization, the guest PEBS records get delivered to the
guest DS, and the host pmi handler uses perf_guest_cbs->is_in_guest()
to distinguish whether the PMI comes from the guest code like Intel PT.

No matter how many guest PEBS counters are overflowed, only triggering
one fake event is enough. The fake event causes the KVM PMI callback to
be called, thereby injecting the PEBS overflow PMI into the guest.

KVM may inject the PMI with BUFFER_OVF set, even if the guest DS is
empty. That should really be harmless. Thus guest PEBS handler would
retrieve the correct information from its own PEBS records buffer.

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.
