Marc Zyngier d0c94c4979 KVM: arm64: Restore PMU configuration on first run
Restoring a guest with an active virtual PMU results in no perf
counters being instanciated on the host side. Not quite what
you'd expect from a restore.

In order to fix this, force a writeback of PMCR_EL0 on the first
run of a vcpu (using a new request so that it happens once the
vcpu has been loaded). This will in turn create all the host-side
counters that were missing.

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.
