The BTS feature (including the ability to set the BTS and BTINT
bits in the DEBUGCTL MSR) is currently unsupported on KVM.
But we may try using the BTS facility on a PEBS enabled guest like this:
perf record -e branches:u -c 1 -d ls
and then we would encounter the following call trace:
[] unchecked MSR access error: WRMSR to 0x1d9 (tried to write 0x00000000000003c0)
at rIP: 0xffffffff810745e4 (native_write_msr+0x4/0x20)
[] Call Trace:
[] intel_pmu_enable_bts+0x5d/0x70
[] bts_event_add+0x54/0x70
[] event_sched_in+0xee/0x290
As it lacks any CPUID indicator or perf_capabilities valid bit
fields to prompt for this information, the platform would hint
the Intel BTS feature unavailable to guest by setting the
BTS_UNAVAIL bit in the IA32_MISC_ENABLE.

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.
