Give userspace full control of the read-only bits in MISC_ENABLES, i.e. do not modify bits on PMU refresh and do not preserve existing bits when userspace writes MISC_ENABLES. With a few exceptions where KVM doesn't expose the necessary controls to userspace _and_ there is a clear cut association with CPUID, e.g. reserved CR4 bits, KVM does not own the vCPU and should not manipulate the vCPU model on behalf of "dummy user space". The argument that KVM is doing userspace a favor because "the order of setting vPMU capabilities and MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE is not strictly guaranteed" is specious, as attempting to configure MSRs on behalf of userspace inevitably leads to edge cases precisely because KVM does not prescribe a specific order of initialization. Example #1: intel_pmu_refresh() consumes and modifies the vCPU's MSR_IA32_PERF_CAPABILITIES, and so assumes userspace initializes config MSRs before setting the guest CPUID model. If userspace sets CPUID first, then KVM will mark PEBS as available when arch.perf_capabilities is initialized with a non-zero PEBS format, thus creating a bad vCPU model if userspace later disables PEBS by writing PERF_CAPABILITIES. Example #2: intel_pmu_refresh() does not clear PERF_CAP_PEBS_MASK in MSR_IA32_PERF_CAPABILITIES if there is no vPMU, making KVM inconsistent in its desire to be consistent. Example #3: intel_pmu_refresh() does not clear MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE_EMON if KVM_SET_CPUID2 is called multiple times, first with a vPMU, then without a vPMU. While slightly contrived, it's plausible a VMM could reflect KVM's default vCPU and then operate on KVM's copy of CPUID to later clear the vPMU settings, e.g. see KVM's selftests. Example #4: Enumerating an Intel vCPU on an AMD host will not call into intel_pmu_refresh() at any point, and so the BTS and PEBS "unavailable" bits will be left clear, without any way for userspace to set them. Keep the "R" behavior of the bit 7, "EMON available", for the guest. Unlike the BTS and PEBS bits, which are fully "RO", the EMON bit can be written with a different value, but that new value is ignored.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
