Per the SDM, "When the local APIC handles a performance-monitoring
counters interrupt, it automatically sets the mask flag in the LVT
performance counter register."

Add this behavior to KVM's local APIC emulation, to reduce the
incidence of "dazed and confused" spurious NMI warnings in Linux
guests (at least, those that use a PMI handler with "late_ack").

Fixes: 23930f9521c9 ("KVM: x86: Enable NMI Watchdog via in-kernel PIT source")

This Fixes is wrong.  Prior to commit f5132b01386b ("KVM: Expose a version 2
architectural PMU to a guests"), KVM didn't ever deliver interrupts via the LVTPC
entry.  E.g. prior to that commit, the only reference to APIC_LVTPC is in
kvm_lapic_reg_write:

  arch/x86/kvm $ git grep APIC_LVTPC f5132b01386b^
  f5132b01386b^:lapic.c:  case APIC_LVTPC:

Commit 23930f9521c9 definitely set the PMU support up to fail, but the bug would
never have existed if kvm_deliver_pmi() had been written as:

void kvm_deliver_pmi(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu)
{
	struct kvm_lapic *apic = vcpu->arch.apic;

	if (apic && kvm_apic_local_deliver(apic, APIC_LVTPC))
		kvm_lapic_set_reg(apic, APIC_LVTPC,
				  kvm_lapic_get_reg(apic, LVTPC) | APIC_LVT_MASKED);
}

And this needs an explicit Cc: to stable because KVM opts out of AUTOSEL.

So

  Fixes: f5132b01386b ("KVM: Expose a version 2 architectural PMU to a guests")
  Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org

When posting patches on behalf of others, you need to provide your SoB.

Belated feedback, I think I'd prefer to write this as

			kvm_lapic_set_reg(apic, APIC_LVTPC, reg | APIC_LVT_MASKED);

so that this code will show up when searching for APIC_LVTPC.
