PMU is not exposed to guest by most of products from cloud providers since the bad performance of PMU emulation and security concern. However, it calls perf_guest_switch_get_msrs() and clear_atomic_switch_msr() unconditionally even if PMU is not exposed to the guest before each vmentry. ~2% vmexit time reduced can be observed by kvm-unit-tests/vmexit.flat on my SKX server.

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.
