Yet another PMU bug that is only likely to hit under Nested Virt: we
unconditionally access PMU registers without checking whether it
actually is present.
Given that we already have a predicate for this, promote it to a
static key, and use that in the world switch.
Thanks to Andre for the heads up!
* From v1:
- Fix compilation when CONFIG_ARM_PMU isn't selected
Marc Zyngier (2):
KVM: arm64: Turn kvm_arm_support_pmu_v3() into a static key
KVM: arm64: Don't access PMSELR_EL0/PMUSERENR_EL0 when no PMU is
available
