Zero out the LBR capabilities during PMU refresh to avoid exposing LBRs to the guest against userspace's wishes. If userspace modifies the guest's CPUID model or invokes KVM_CAP_PMU_CAPABILITY to disable vPMU after an initial KVM_SET_CPUID2, but before the first KVM_RUN, KVM will retain the previous LBR info due to bailing before refreshing the LBR descriptor. Note, this is a very theoretical bug, there is no known use case where a VMM would deliberately enable the vPMU via KVM_SET_CPUID2, and then later disable the vPMU.

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.
