Like Xu c797b8872b perf/x86/amd: Don't touch the AMD64_EVENTSEL_HOSTONLY bit inside the guest
commit df51fe7ea1c1c2c3bfdb81279712fdd2e4ea6c27 upstream.

If we use "perf record" in an AMD Milan guest, dmesg reports a #GP
warning from an unchecked MSR access error on MSR_F15H_PERF_CTLx:

  [] unchecked MSR access error: WRMSR to 0xc0010200 (tried to write 0x0000020000110076) at rIP: 0xffffffff8106ddb4 (native_write_msr+0x4/0x20)
  [] Call Trace:
  []  amd_pmu_disable_event+0x22/0x90
  []  x86_pmu_stop+0x4c/0xa0
  []  x86_pmu_del+0x3a/0x140

The AMD64_EVENTSEL_HOSTONLY bit is defined and used on the host,
while the guest perf driver should avoid such use.

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.
