| |
From: Like Xu <likexu@tencent.com>
When a guest PEBS counter is cross-mapped by a host counter, software will remove the corresponding bit in the arr[global_ctrl].guest and expect hardware to perform a change of state "from enable to disable" via the msr_slot[] switch during the vmx transaction.
The real world is that if user adjust the counter overflow value small enough, it still opens a tiny race window for the previously PEBS-enabled counter to write cross-mapped PEBS records into the guest's PEBS buffer, when arr[global_ctrl].guest has been prioritised (switch_msr_special stuff) to switch into the enabled state, while the arr[pebs_enable].guest has not.
Close this window by clearing invalid bits in the arr[global_ctrl].guest.
