As kernel test robot has reported [1], you need to wrap the code above
in a code block:

 Specifically, KVM follows the following pseudo-code when determining whether to
-allow the guest FixCtr[i] to count its pre-defined fixed event:
+allow the guest FixCtr[i] to count its pre-defined fixed event::
 
   FixCtr[i]_is_allowed = (action == ALLOW) && (bitmap & BIT(i)) ||
     (action == DENY) && !(bitmap & BIT(i));

Thanks.
