Add a common define to "officially" solidify KVM's split of counters, i.e. to commit to using bits 31:0 to track general purpose counters and bits 63:32 to track fixed counters (which only Intel supports). KVM already bleeds this behavior all over common PMU code, and adding a KVM- defined macro allows clarifying that the value is a _base_, as oppposed to the _flag_ that is used to access fixed PMCs via RDPMC (which perf confusingly calls INTEL_PMC_FIXED_RDPMC_BASE). No functional change intended. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231110022857.1273836-3-seanjc@google.com Signed-off-by: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com>
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.
