Actually no, just reproduced this on a Haswell system. If you run the
guest with "-cpu host,-pmu" and do 'perf top' (on the host) the guest
crashes immediately.

Sure (this is probably unrelated because the issue also reproduces on
Haswell but still):

# cpuid -r -l 1 -1

CPU:
0x00000001 0x00: eax=0x00050657 ebx=0x03200800 ecx=0x7ffefbff edx=0xbfebfbff

# cat /proc/cpuinfo| grep microcode | uniq
microcode : 0x500002c

This is "Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 5218 CPU @ 2.30GHz"
