+Subject: KVM: x86/vPMU: refine kvm_pmu err msg when event creation failed
+
+From: Like Xu <like.xu@linux.intel.com>
+
+commit 6fc3977ccc5d3c22e851f2dce2d3ce2a0a843842 upstream.
+
+If a perf_event creation fails due to any reason of the host perf
+subsystem, it has no chance to log the corresponding event for guest
+which may cause abnormal sampling data in guest result. In debug mode,
+this message helps to understand the state of vPMC and we may not
+limit the number of occurrences but not in a spamming style.
