To date KVM has relied on using a perf event to probe the core PMU at the time of vPMU initialization. Behind the scenes perf_event_init() would iteratively walk the PMUs of the system and return the PMU that could handle the event. However, an upcoming change in perf core will drop the iterative walk, thereby breaking the fragile dance we do on the KVM side. Avoid the problem altogether by iterating over the list of supported PMUs maintained in KVM, returning the core PMU that matches the CPU we were called on.

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.
