If AMD Performance Monitoring Version 2 (PerfMonV2) is detected by the guest, it can use a new scheme to manage the Core PMCs using the new global control and status registers. In addition to benefiting from the PerfMonV2 functionality in the same way as the host (higher precision), the guest also can reduce the number of vm-exits by lowering the total number of MSRs accesses. In terms of implementation details, amd_is_valid_msr() is resurrected since three newly added MSRs could not be mapped to one vPMC. The possibility of emulating PerfMonV2 on the mainframe has also been eliminated for reasons of precision.

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.
