Virtual Machine - Edit Settings (CPU) Part 1 (v)

In my previous post, we have talked about CPUID Mask.
In this post of CPU Part 5, We are going to talk about Performance Counter



In this screenshot as you can see, I have used vSphere Web Client, Right Click on virtual machine & edit settings.

9. Enable Virtualized CPU performance counters: It is mainly used by developers for debugging software(software profilers) which is going to run in a VM such as vTune, OProfile, CodeAnalyst.
This feature is going to make some additional CPU related performance counters (MSRs-Model Specific Registers) available to the guest OS.

There is a KB2030221, which is related to what CPU Performance counters are exposed to guest OS.
