KVM: x86/pmu: fix masking logic for MSR_CORE_PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL (2024-01-04 16:31:27 +0100)
This is technically not a KVM patch, but I am sending it anyway considering that:
- the patch is doing nothing but undoing a Boolean logic brain fart, restoring
the pre-6.0 logic
- the function is literally called intel_guest_get_msrs and I am touching only
the "guest" field, so the non-KVM effects are clearly nil
- this part of the file is often marked as "KVM" in the commit summaries, and
sent via the KVM tree with Acked-by (usually from PeterZ, whom I am CCing)
- we are pretty close to the release but many people are still in Christmas
vacation mode/mood
- the bug is not theoretical, Paul described the reproducer as triggering
"rarely but intolerably often"
- writing this explanation almost took more time than writing the patch,
thus proving that I reaallyy would like this in 6.7
Thanks,
Paolo
