Subject: [PATCH] x86/kvm/pmu: Set AMD's virt PMU version to 1

From: Borislav Petkov <[email protected]>

After commit:

672ff6cff80c ("KVM: x86: Raise #GP when guest vCPU do not support PMU")

my AMD guests started #GPing like this:

general protection fault: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP
CPU: 1 PID: 4355 Comm: bash Not tainted 5.1.0-rc6+ #3
Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.12.0-1 04/01/2014
RIP: 0010:x86_perf_event_update+0x3b/0xa0

with Code: pointing to RDPMC. It is RDPMC because the guest has the
hardware watchdog CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF enabled which uses
perf. Instrumenting kvm_pmu_rdpmc() some, showed that it fails due to:

if (!pmu->version)
return 1;

which the above commit added. Since AMD's PMU leaves the version at 0,
that causes the #GP injection into the guest.

Set pmu->version arbitrarily to 1 and move it above the non-applicable
struct kvm_pmu members.

You should add this commit as a fixes tag. Since that commit went into 5.1
it would be worth this fix going into the 5.1 stable tree.

Thanks,

Yes, done (and queued the patch).
