I am trying to capture in vmx.c the hardware performance counter(PMU) interrupt of a i386 Linux kernel running with perfmon on a Core 2 Duo machine running with kvm-15. host is running kvm with VT-x in x86-64 mode.
The PMU interrupt is programmed in the APIC LVT entry (set to 0xee)by the guest OS. Similarly, an IDT entry connects the interrupt vector to the interrupt handler. I am not able to catch, in kvm, the PMU interrupt happening in VMX non-root mode. It does not seem to appear in the VM-exit interruption information nor in the IDT-vectoring information. It does not seem to be caught by any of the exit handlers yet the host PMU interrupt handler catches it which is not what we want. Any idea on what is going on with this interrupt?
