Subject: [PATCH v4 2/2] perf/kvm: Support HCALL events
powerpc provides hcall events that also provides insights into guest
behaviour. Enhance perf kvm to record and analyze hcall events.
- To trace hcall events :
perf kvm stat record
- To show the results :
perf kvm stat report --event=hcall
The result shows the number of hypervisor calls from the guest grouped
by their respective reasons displayed with the frequency.
This patch makes use of two additional tracepoints
"kvm_hv:kvm_hcall_enter" and "kvm_hv:kvm_hcall_exit". It uses the
pSeries hypervisor codes exported through uapi to classify the hcalls
into their respective reasons.
Note : This patch has a dependency on "kvm/powerpc: Export HCALL reason
codes" which exports HCALL reasons through uapi.
# pgrep qemu
A sample output :
19378
60515
2 VMs running.
# perf kvm stat record -a
^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 4.153 MB perf.data.guest (39624 samples) ]
# perf kvm stat report -p 60515 --event=hcall

Changes:
- Moved the uapi related changes to arch/powerpc side patchset.
This patch has a dependency on :
http://www.mail-archive.com/linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org/msg89487.html
which export hcall reasons through uapi.
