Subject[RFC PATCH 24/41] KVM: x86/pmu: Zero out unexposed Counters/Selectors to avoid information leakage
Date
From: Mingwei Zhang <mizhang@google.com>

Zero out unexposed counters/selectors because even though KVM intercepts
all accesses to unexposed PMU MSRs, it does pass through RDPMC instruction
which allows guest to read all GP counters and fixed counters. So, zero out
unexposed counter values which might contain critical information for the
host.
