Subject: [PATCH 00/35] perf intel-pt: Add support for tracing virtual machine user space on the host
Hi
Here are patches to support decoding an Intel PT trace that contains data
from virtual machine userspace.
This is done by adding functionality to perf inject to be able to inject
sideband events needed for decoding, into the perf.data file recorded on
the host. That is, inject events from a perf.data file recorded in a
virtual machine into a perf.data file recorded on the host at the same
time.
For more details, see the example in the documentation added in the last
patch.
Note there was already support for tracing virtual machines kernel-only:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/tools/perf/Documentation/perf-intel-pt.txt?h=v5.19-rc1#n1221
or the special case of tracing KVM self tests:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/tools/perf/Documentation/perf-intel-pt.txt?h=v5.19-rc1#n1403
For general information about Intel PT also see the wiki page:
https://perf.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Perf_tools_support_for_Intel%C2%AE_Processor_Trace
The patches fall into 5 groups:
1. the first patch is a fix
2. the next 22 patches are preparation
3. the main patch is "perf inject: Add support for injecting guest
sideband events"
4. 3 more preparation patches
5. Intel PT decoding changes
The patches are mostly small except for "perf inject: Add support for
injecting guest sideband events". However the code there adds new
functionality, does not affect existing functionality and is consequently
pretty self-contained.
