From 42457a7fb6cacca83be4deaf202ac3e45830daf2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kan Liang Date: Fri, 5 Dec 2025 16:16:43 -0800 Subject: perf: Add APIs to load/put guest mediated PMU context Add exported APIs to load/put a guest mediated PMU context. KVM will load the guest PMU shortly before VM-Enter, and put the guest PMU shortly after VM-Exit. On the perf side of things, schedule out all exclude_guest events when the guest context is loaded, and schedule them back in when the guest context is put. I.e. yield the hardware PMU resources to the guest, by way of KVM. Note, perf is only responsible for managing host context. KVM is responsible for loading/storing guest state to/from hardware.
