Can I assume you were replying to the the patch ...

[PATCH 2/3] i386: kvm: disable KVM_CAP_PMU_CAPABILITY if "pmu" is disabled

... but not this one which is about to save/restore PMU registers?

[PATCH 3/3] target/i386/kvm: get and put AMD pmu registers


About the legacy registers, here is my understanding just based on the linux amd
source code.

The line 1450 indicates the PMU initialization is failed only when the family is
< 6. The amd_core_pmu_init() at line 1455 will decide whether to use 
PERFCTR_CORE.

1445 __init int amd_pmu_init(void)
1446 {
1447         int ret;
1448
1449         /* Performance-monitoring supported from K7 and later: */
1450         if (boot_cpu_data.x86 < 6)
1451                 return -ENODEV;
1452
1453         x86_pmu = amd_pmu;
1454
1455         ret = amd_core_pmu_init();
1456         if (ret)
1457                 return ret


By default (when family < 6), the below 4 legacy registers are used.

1270 static __initconst const struct x86_pmu amd_pmu = {
1271         .name                   = "AMD",
... ...
1279         .eventsel               = MSR_K7_EVNTSEL0,
1280         .perfctr                = MSR_K7_PERFCTR0,

#define MSR_K7_EVNTSEL0                 0xc0010000
#define MSR_K7_PERFCTR0                 0xc0010004
#define MSR_K7_EVNTSEL1                 0xc0010001
#define MSR_K7_PERFCTR1                 0xc0010005
#define MSR_K7_EVNTSEL2                 0xc0010002
#define MSR_K7_PERFCTR2                 0xc0010006
#define MSR_K7_EVNTSEL3                 0xc0010003
#define MSR_K7_PERFCTR3                 0xc0010007


If PERFCTR_CORE is supported, counters like below are used, as line 1368 and 
1369.

1351 static int __init amd_core_pmu_init(void)
1352 {
1353         union cpuid_0x80000022_ebx ebx;

1355         int i;
1356
1357         if (!boot_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_PERFCTR_CORE))
1358                 return 0;
1359
1360         /* Avoid calculating the value each time in the NMI handler */
1361         perf_nmi_window = msecs_to_jiffies(100);
1362
1363         /*

1366          * amd_pmu_addr_offset().
1367          */
1368         x86_pmu.eventsel        = MSR_F15H_PERF_CTL;
1369         x86_pmu.perfctr         = MSR_F15H_PERF_CTR;
1370         x86_pmu.num_counters    = AMD64_NUM_COUNTERS_CORE;

#define MSR_F15H_PERF_CTL               0xc0010200

#define MSR_F15H_PERF_CTR2              (MSR_F15H_PERF_CTR + 4)
#define MSR_F15H_PERF_CTR3              (MSR_F15H_PERF_CTR + 6)
#define MSR_F15H_PERF_CTR4              (MSR_F15H_PERF_CTR + 8)
#define MSR_F15H_PERF_CTR5              (MSR_F15H_PERF_CTR + 10)

Unfortunately, I do not have access to machine with family < 6. It might be
interesting to use QEMU to emulate a machine with family < 6.

Thank you very much for suggestion!
