I don't think it is the correct direction to go. env->features[] should be finalized before cpu_x86_cpuid() and env->features[] needs to be able to be exposed to guest directly. This ensures guest and QEMU have the same view of CPUIDs and it simplifies things. We can adjust env->features[] by filtering all PMU related CPUIDs based on cpu->enable_pmu in x86_cpu_realizefn(). > Suggested-by: Zhao Liu <zhao1.liu@intel.com> > Signed-off-by: Dongli Zhang <dongli.zhang@oracle.com> > --- > target/i386/cpu.c | 4 ++++ > 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) > > diff --git a/target/i386/cpu.c b/target/i386/cpu.c > index b6d6167910..61a671028a 100644 > --- a/target/i386/cpu.c > +++ b/target/i386/cpu.c > @@ -7115,6 +7115,10 @@ void cpu_x86_cpuid(CPUX86State *env, uint32_t index, uint32_t count, > !(env->hflags & HF_LMA_MASK)) { > *edx &= ~CPUID_EXT2_SYSCALL; > } > + > + if (kvm_enabled() && IS_AMD_CPU(env) && !cpu->enable_pmu) { > + *ecx &= ~CPUID_EXT3_PERFCORE; > + } > break; > case 0x80000002: > case 0x80000003:

Thank you very much for suggestion. I see code like below in x86_cpu_realizefn() to edit env->features[]. 7982 /* On AMD CPUs, some CPUID[8000_0001].EDX bits must match the bits on 7983 * CPUID[1].EDX. 7984 */ 7985 if (IS_AMD_CPU(env)) { 7986 env->features[FEAT_8000_0001_EDX] &= ~CPUID_EXT2_AMD_ALIASES; 7987 env->features[FEAT_8000_0001_EDX] |= (env->features[FEAT_1_EDX] 7988 & CPUID_EXT2_AMD_ALIASES); 7989 } I may do something similar to them for CPUID_EXT3_PERFCORE and CPUID_8000_0022_EAX_PERFMON_V2.

I just sent a series for CPUID_EXT_PDCM[1]. I think you can put CPUID_EXT3_PERFCORE and CPUID_8000_0022_EAX_PERFMON_V2 at the same place.

Currently, AMD PMU support isn't determined based on CPUID, that is, the "-pmu" option does not fully disable KVM AMD PMU virtualization. To minimize AMD PMU features, remove PERFCORE when "-pmu" is configured. To completely disable AMD PMU virtualization will be implemented via KVM_CAP_PMU_CAPABILITY in upcoming patches. As a reminder, neither CPUID_EXT3_PERFCORE nor CPUID_8000_0022_EAX_PERFMON_V2 is removed from env->features[] when "-pmu" is configured. Developers should query whether they are supported via cpu_x86_cpuid() rather than relying on env->features[] in future patches.
