Revert the hack to allow host-initiated accesses to all "PMU" MSRs, as intel_is_valid_msr() returns true for _all_ MSRs, regardless of whether or not it has a snowball's chance in hell of actually being a PMU MSR. That mostly gets papered over by the actual get/set helpers only handling MSRs that they knows about, except there's the minor detail that kvm_pmu_{g,s}et_msr() eat reads and writes when the PMU is disabled. I.e. KVM will happy allow reads and writes to _any_ MSR if the PMU is disabled, either via module param or capability. This reverts commit d1c88a4020567ba4da52f778bcd9619d87e4ea75.

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.
