I see you add '!exclude_callchain_kernel' check before perf_allow_kernel() at syscall entry in below 
code.

So if we allow callchain_kernel collection that means we allow kernel by default. That makes sense, 
thanks!

Yes, agree. Your code is much simpler and better.

Is this condition correct?

Say counting user event on host, exclude_kernel = 1 and exclude_host = 0. It will go "return 
sample_regs" path.

In your another mail, you said it should be:

	if (user_regs(regs))
		return sample_regs;

No '{', you mentioned in another mail.

I can understand the conditions "!attr.exclude_kernel || !attr.exclude_callchain_kernel".

But I'm not very sure about the "!attr.exclude_hv || !attr.exclude_host || !attr.exclude_guest".

On host, exclude_hv = 1, exclude_guest = 1 and exclude_host = 0, right?

So even exclude_kernel = 1 but exclude_host = 0, we will still go perf_allow_kernel path. Please 
correct me if my understanding is wrong.

Thanks
