The pmcregs_in_use field in the guest VPA can not be trusted to reflect what the guest is doing with PMU SPRs, so the PMU must always be managed (stopped) when exiting the guest, and SPR values set when entering the guest to ensure it can't cause a covert channel or otherwise cause other guests or the host to misbehave. So prevent guest access to the PMU with HFSCR[PM] if pmcregs_in_use is clear, and avoid the PMU SPR access on every partition switch. Guests that set pmcregs_in_use incorrectly or when first setting it and using the PMU will take a hypervisor facility unavailable interrupt that will bring in the PMU SPRs.

README
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.
