From 08c389480c7caa2e6489b6512e635fcbc569ee81 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Yan, Zheng" Date: Tue, 21 Aug 2012 17:08:37 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] perf/x86: Disable uncore on virtualized CPUs Initializing uncore PMU on virtualized CPU may hang the kernel. This is because kvm does not emulate the entire hardware. Thers are lots of uncore related MSRs, making kvm enumerate them all is a non-trival task. So just disable uncore on virtualized CPU.
