Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86/vPMU: refine kvm_pmu err msg when event creation failed
Date:   Thu, 18 Jul 2019 12:49:14 +0800

If a perf_event creation fails due to any reason of the host perf
subsystem, it has no chance to log the corresponding event for guest
which may cause abnormal sampling data in guest result. In debug mode,
this message helps to understand the state of vPMC and we should not
limit the number of occurrences.
