From c9b08884c9c98929ec2d8abafd78e89062d01ee7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Mon, 3 Feb 2014 14:29:03 +0100 Subject: perf/x86: Correctly use FEATURE_PDCM The current code simply assumes Intel Arch PerfMon v2+ to have the IA32_PERF_CAPABILITIES MSR; the SDM specifies that we should check CPUID[1].ECX[15] (aka, FEATURE_PDCM) instead. This was found by KVM which implements v2+ but didn't provide the capabilities MSR. Change the code to DTRT; KVM will also implement the MSR and return 0.
