kvm: x86/pmu: Fix the compare function used by the pmu event filter

Browse source

commit 4ac19ead0d upstream.

When returning from the compare function the u64 is truncated to an
int.  This results in a loss of the high nybble[1] in the event select
and its sign if that nybble is in use.  Switch from using a result that
can end up being truncated to a result that can only be: 1, 0, -1.

[1] bits 35:32 in the event select register and bits 11:8 in the event
    select.
