Inject #GP on RDPMC if the "fast" flag is set for architectural Intel
PMUs, i.e. if the PMU version is non-zero. Per Intel's SDM, and confirmed
on bare metal, the "fast" flag is supported only for non-architectural
PMUs, and is reserved for architectural PMUs.
If the processor does not support architectural performance monitoring
(CPUID.0AH:EAX[7:0]=0), ECX[30:0] specifies the index of the PMC to be
read. Setting ECX[31] selects “fast” read mode if supported. In this mode,
RDPMC returns bits 31:0 of the PMC in EAX while clearing EDX to zero.
If the processor does support architectural performance monitoring
(CPUID.0AH:EAX[7:0] ≠ 0), ECX[31:16] specifies type of PMC while ECX[15:0]
specifies the index of the PMC to be read within that type. The following
PMC types are currently defined:
— General-purpose counters use type 0. The index x (to read IA32_PMCx)
must be less than the value enumerated by CPUID.0AH.EAX[15:8] (thus
ECX[15:8] must be zero).
— Fixed-function counters use type 4000H. The index x (to read
IA32_FIXED_CTRx) can be used if either CPUID.0AH.EDX[4:0] > x or
CPUID.0AH.ECX[x] = 1 (thus ECX[15:5] must be 0).
— Performance metrics use type 2000H. This type can be used only if
IA32_PERF_CAPABILITIES.PERF_METRICS_AVAILABLE[bit 15]=1. For this type,
the index in ECX[15:0] is implementation specific.
Opportunistically WARN if KVM ever actually tries to complete RDPMC for a
non-architectural PMU, and drop the non-existent "support" for fast RDPMC,
as KVM doesn't support such PMUs, i.e. kvm_pmu_rdpmc() should reject the
RDPMC before getting to the Intel code.

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.
