KVM PMU management code looks for particular frozen/disabled bits in the PMU registers so it knows whether it must clear them when coming out of a guest or not. Setting this up helps KVM make these optimisations without getting confused. Longer term the better approach might be to move guest/host PMU switching to the perf subsystem.

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.
