[ Upstream commit 2924b52117b2812e9633d5ea337333299166d373 ]
According to the SDM, for MSR_IA32_PERFCTR0/1 "the lower-order 32 bits of
each MSR may be written with any value, and the high-order 8 bits are
sign-extended according to the value of bit 31", but the fixed counters
in real hardware are limited to the width of the fixed counters ("bits
beyond the width of the fixed-function counter are reserved and must be
written as zeros"). Fix KVM to do the same.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
