- Correct the permission checks for perf event which send SIGTRAP to a
different process and clean up that code to be more readable.
- Prevent an out of bound MSR access in the x86 perf code which happened
due to an incomplete limiting to the actually available hardware
counters.
- Prevent access to the AMD64_EVENTSEL_HOSTONLY bit when running inside a
guest.
- Handle small core counter re-enabling correctly by issuing an ACK right
before reenabling it to prevent a stale PEBS record being kept around.
