commit 5eb849322d7f7ae9d5c587c7bc3b4f7c6872cd2f upstream. Zen renumbered some of the performance counters that correspond to the well known events in perf_hw_id. This code in KVM was never updated for that, so guest that attempt to use counters on Zen that correspond to the pre-Zen perf_hw_id values will silently receive the wrong values. This has been observed in the wild with rr[0] when running in Zen 3 guests. rr uses the retired conditional branch counter 00d1 which is incorrectly recognized by KVM as PERF_COUNT_HW_STALLED_CYCLES_BACKEND.

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.
