Revert the workaround added by commit 63279eeb7f93a ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Always save guest pmu for guest capable of nesting").
Nested capable guests running with the earlier commit ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV Nested: Indicate guest PMU in-use in VPA") will now indicate the PMU in-use status of their guests, which means the parent does not need to unconditionally save the PMU for nested capable guests. This will cause the PMU to break for nested guests when running older nested hypervisor guests under a kernel with this change. It's unclear there's an easy way to avoid that, so this could wait for a release or so for the fix to filter into stable kernels. -134 cycles (8982) POWER9 virt-mode NULL hcall Signed-off-by: Nicholas Piggin <npig...@gmail.com> --- arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_hv.c | 2 -- 1 file changed, 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_hv.c b/arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_hv.c index e7f8cc04944b..ab89db561c85 100644 --- a/arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_hv.c +++ b/arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_hv.c @@ -4003,8 +4003,6 @@ static int kvmhv_p9_guest_entry(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu, u64 time_limit, vcpu->arch.vpa.dirty = 1; save_pmu = lp->pmcregs_in_use; } - /* Must save pmu if this guest is capable of running nested guests */ - save_pmu |= nesting_enabled(vcpu->kvm); kvmhv_save_guest_pmu(vcpu, save_pmu); #ifdef CONFIG_PPC_PSERIES -- 2.23.0
