[PATCH v2 15/23] KVM: arm64: Write fast path PMU register handlers

Colton Lewis coltonlewis at google.com
Fri Jun 20 15:13:16 PDT 2025


We may want a partitioned PMU but not have FEAT_FGT to untrap the
specific registers that would normally be. Add a handler for those
registers in the fast path so we can still get a performance boost
from partitioning.
