Add a new capability, KVM_CAP_PMU_CAPABILITY, that takes a bitmask of settings/features to allow userspace to configure PMU virtualization on a per-VM basis. For now, support a single flag, KVM_PMU_CAP_DISABLE, to allow disabling PMU virtualization for a VM even when KVM is configured with enable_pmu=true a module level. To keep KVM simple, disallow changing VM's PMU configuration after vCPUs have been created.

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.
