Paolo wrote support for it, recently. Paolo?
Yes, on the KVM side all that is needed is to special case MSR reads and
writes that have side effects, for example:
case MSR_CORE_PERF_GLOBAL_STATUS:
if (msr_info->host_initiated) {
pmu->global_status = data;
return 0;
}
break; /* RO MSR */
case MSR_CORE_PERF_GLOBAL_OVF_CTRL:
if (!(data & (pmu->global_ctrl_mask & ~(3ull<<62)))) {
if (!msr_info->host_initiated)
pmu->global_status &= ~data;
pmu->global_ovf_ctrl = data;
return 0;
}
break;
Right now this is only needed for writes.
Userspace then can read/write these MSRs, and add them to the migration
stream. QEMU has code for that.
