Suzuki noticed that KVM's PMU emulation is oblivious to the NSU and NSK event filter bits. On systems that have EL3 these bits modify the filter behavior in non-secure EL0 and EL1, respectively. Even though the kernel doesn't use these bits, it is entirely possible some other guest OS does. Additionally, it would appear that these and the M bit are required by the architecture if EL3 is implemented. Allow the EL3 event filter bits to be set if EL3 is advertised in the guest's ID register. Implement the behavior of NSU and NSK according to the pseudocode, and entirely ignore the M bit for perf event creation.

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.
