When counting "Instructions Retired" (0xc0) in a guest, KVM will
occasionally increment the PMU counter regardless of if that event is
being filtered. This is because some PMU events are incremented via
kvm_pmu_trigger_event(), which doesn't know about the event filter. Add
the event filter to kvm_pmu_trigger_event(), so events that are
disallowed do not increment their counters.

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.
