[ Upstream commit 5a1bde46f98b893cda6122b00e94c0c40a6ead3c ]
On some x86 processors, CPUID leaf 0xA provides information
on Architectural Performance Monitoring features. It
advertises a PMU version which Qemu uses to determine the
availability of additional MSRs to manage the PMCs.
Upon receiving a KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID ioctl request for
the same, the kernel constructs return values based on the
x86_pmu_capability irrespective of the vendor.
This leaf and the additional MSRs are not supported on AMD
and Hygon processors. If AMD PerfMonV2 is detected, the PMU
version is set to 2 and guest startup breaks because of an
attempt to access a non-existent MSR. Return zeros to avoid
this.

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.
