Xiaoyao Li b33b35b8bb KVM: x86: Explicitly zero EAX and EBX when PERFMON_V2 isn't supported by KVM 
commit f9dc8fb3af upstream.

Fix a goof where KVM sets CPUID.0x80000022.EAX to CPUID.0x80000022.EBX
instead of zeroing both when PERFMON_V2 isn't supported by KVM.  In
practice, barring a buggy CPU (or vCPU model when running nested) only the
!enable_pmu case is affected, as KVM always supports PERFMON_V2 if it's
available in hardware, i.e. CPUID.0x80000022.EBX will be '0' if PERFMON_V2
is unsupported.

For the !enable_pmu case, the bug is relatively benign as KVM will refuse
to enable PMU capabilities, but a VMM that reflects KVM's supported CPUID
into the guest could inadvertently induce #GPs in the guest due to
advertising support for MSRs that KVM refuses to emulate.

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 reStructuredText 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.
