KVM: x86/pmu: Avoid exposing Intel BTS feature
The BTS feature (including the ability to set the BTS and BTINT bits in the DEBUGCTL MSR) is currently unsupported on KVM. But we may try using the BTS facility on a PEBS enabled guest like this: perf record -e branches:u -c 1 -d ls and then we would encounter the following call trace: [] unchecked MSR access error: WRMSR to 0x1d9 (tried to write 0x00000000000003c0) at rIP: 0xffffffff810745e4 (native_write_msr+0x4/0x20) [] Call Trace: [] intel_pmu_enable_bts+0x5d/0x70 [] bts_event_add+0x54/0x70 [] event_sched_in+0xee/0x290 As it lacks any CPUID indicator or perf_capabilities valid bit fields to prompt for this information, the platform would hint the Intel BTS feature unavailable to guest by setting the BTS_UNAVAIL bit in the IA32_MISC_ENABLE.
