If you can read 0x186, it means, you can read PMU MSRs, it shall work for perf to sample some events, like LLC misses.
To check PMU driver is probed.
You don’t need modify the scenario file.

Hi Minggui,
Thanks for the quick answer. With my original scenario, I tried rdmsr 0x186 and it returned rdmsr(0x186):0x0. Is it ok?
Then I modified the scenario and i get a lot of errors:
First I changed the <vm_type> PRE_STD_VM to RTVM, then run make hypervisor and I got this error:

Do you have any idea what the problem could be?
P.S. Attached my original scenario and the modified one.
