Depending on whether intr should be triggered or not, KVM registers two different event overflow callbacks in the perf_event context. The code skeleton of these two functions is very similar, so the pmc->intr can be stored into pmc from pmc_reprogram_counter() which provides smaller instructions footprint against the u-architecture branch predictor. The __kvm_perf_overflow() can be called in non-nmi contexts and a flag is needed to distinguish the caller context and thus avoid a check on kvm_is_in_guest(), otherwise we might get warnings from suspicious RCU or check_preemption_disabled().

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.
