the issue is fixed by upgrading to kernel 3.14.20. Probably it's this patch: ---------------------------------------- commit 2968314094d8db0af32de20ad51349a30ea54a01 Author: Venkatesh Srinivas <venkate...@google.com> Date: Thu Mar 13 12:36:26 2014 -0700 perf/x86/intel: Use rdmsrl_safe() when initializing RAPL PMU commit 24223657806a0ebd0ae5c9caaf7b021091889cf2 upstream. CPUs which should support the RAPL counters according to Family/Model/Stepping may still issue #GP when attempting to access the RAPL MSRs. This may happen when Linux is running under KVM and we are passing-through host F/M/S data, for example. Use rdmsrl_safe to first access the RAPL_POWER_UNIT MSR; if this fails, do not attempt to use this PMU. ---------------------------------------- Thanks for the backport to 3.14.
