The PMU appears to have a separate register for filtering 'guest' exception levels (i.e. EL1 and !ELIsInHost(EL0)) which has the same layout as PMCR1_EL1. Conveniently, there exists a VHE register alias (PMCR1_EL12) that can be used to configure it. Support guest events by programming the EL12 register with the intended guest kernel/userspace filters. Limit support for guest events to VHE (i.e. kernel running at EL2), as it avoids involving KVM to context switch PMU registers. VHE is the only supported mode on M* parts anyway, so this isn't an actual feature limitation.

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 reStructuredText 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.
