[ Upstream commit 7d1ffc8b087e97dbe1985912c7a2d00e53cea169 ]
Currently, KVM traps & emulates PMU counter access only if SBI PMU
is available as the guest can only configure/read PMU counters via
SBI only. However, if SBI PMU is not enabled in the host, the
guest will fallback to the legacy PMU which will try to access
cycle/instret and result in an illegal instruction trap which
is not desired.
KVM can allow dummy emulation of cycle/instret only for the guest
if SBI PMU is not enabled in the host. The dummy emulation will
still return zero as we don't to expose the host counter values
from a guest using legacy PMU.

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.
