Date: Fri, 17 Feb 2017 08:36:25 +0100 From: Juergen Gross <jgross@...e.com> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, xen-devel@...ts.xenproject.org, x86@...nel.org Cc: boris.ostrovsky@...cle.com, hpa@...or.com, tglx@...utronix.de, mingo@...hat.com, Juergen Gross <jgross@...e.com> Subject: [PATCH 2/2] x86/xen: use capabilities instead of fake cpuid values When running as pv domain xen_cpuid() is being used instead of native_cpuid(). In xen_cpuid() the aperf/mperf feature is indicated as not being present by special casing the related cpuid leaf. Instead of delivering fake cpuid values clear the cpu capability bit for aperf/mperf instead.
