KVM: x86/pmu: Avoid using PEBS perf_events for normal counters
The check logic in the pmc_resume_counter() to determine whether a perf_event is reusable is partial and flawed, especially when it comes to a pseudocode sequence (contrived, but valid) like: - enabling a counter and its PEBS bit - enable global_ctrl - run workload - disable only the PEBS bit, leaving the global_ctrl bit enabled In this corner case, a perf_event created for PEBS can be reused by a normal counter before it has been released and recreated, and when this normal counter overflows, it triggers a PEBS interrupt (precise_ip != 0). To address this issue, reprogram all affected counters when PEBS_ENABLE change and reuse a counter if and only if PEBS exactly matches precise.
