[Xen-devel] [PATCH v16 19/23] x86/VPMU: Handle PMU interrupts for PV guests

2014-12-17 Thread Boris Ostrovsky
Add support for handling PMU interrupts for PV guests. VPMU for the interrupted VCPU is unloaded until the guest issues XENPMU_flush hypercall. This allows the guest to access PMU MSR values that are stored in VPMU context which is shared between hypervisor and domain, thus avoiding traps to hyper
