[PATCH 00/18] KVM: arm64: Support FEAT_PMUv3 on Apple hardware

One of the interesting features of some Apple M* parts is an IMPDEF trap
that routes EL1/EL0 accesses of the PMUv3 registers to EL2. This allows
a hypervisor to emulate an architectural PMUv3 on top of the IMPDEF PMU
hardware present in the CPU.
And if you squint, this _might_ look like a CPU erratum :-)
This series takes advantage of these IMPDEF traps to provide PMUv3 to
KVM guests. As a starting point, only expose the fixed CPU cycle counter
and no event counters. Conveniently, this is enough to get Windows
running as a KVM guest on Apple hardware.
I've tried to keep the deviation to a minimum by refactoring some of the
flows used for PMUv3, e.g. computing PMCEID from the arm_pmu bitmap
instead of reading hardware directly.
RFC -> v1:
- Rebase to 6.13-rc3
- Add support for 1 event counter in addition to CPU cycle counter
- Don't sneak past the PMU event filter (Marc)
- Have the PMU driver provide a PMUv3 -> HW event ID mapping (Marc)
Tested on my M2 with Linux and Windows guests. If possible, I'd
appreciate someone testing on an M1 as I haven't added those MIDRs to
the erratum yet.
