Have KVM_GET_ONE_REG for vPMU counter (vPMC) registers (PMCCNTR_EL0
and PMEVCNTR<n>_EL0) return the sum of the register value in the sysreg
file and the current perf event counter value.
Values of vPMC registers are saved in sysreg files on certain occasions.
These saved values don't represent the current values of the vPMC
registers if the perf events for the vPMCs count events after the save.
The current values of those registers are the sum of the sysreg file
value and the current perf event counter value. But, when userspace
reads those registers (using KVM_GET_ONE_REG), KVM returns the sysreg
file value to userspace (not the sum value).
Fix this to return the sum value for KVM_GET_ONE_REG.

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.
