Subject: [PATCH v3 1/5] KVM: Add arch specific interfaces for sampling guest callchains
This patch adds two architecture specific interfaces used by `perf kvm`:
- kvm_arch_vcpu_get_unwind_info: Return required data for unwinding
at once; including ip address, frame pointer, whether the guest vCPU
is running in 32 or 64 bits, and possibly the base addresses of
the segments.
- kvm_arch_vcpu_read_virt: Read data from a virtual address of the
guest vm.
`perf_kvm.h` has been added to the `include/linux/` directory to store
the interface structures between the perf events subsystem and the KVM
subsystem.
Since arm64 hasn't provided some foundational infrastructure, stub the
arm64 implementation for now because it's a bit complex.
The above interfaces require architecture support for
`CONFIG_GUEST_PERF_EVENTS`, which is only implemented by x86 and arm64
currently. For more architectures, they need to implement these interfaces
when enabling `CONFIG_GUEST_PERF_EVENTS`.
In terms of safety, guests are designed to be read-only in this feature,
and we will never inject page faults into the guests, ensuring that the
guests are not interfered by profiling. In extremely rare cases, if the
guest is modifying the page table, there is a possibility of reading
incorrect data. Additionally, if certain programs running in the guest OS
do not support frame pointers, it may also result in some erroneous data.
These erroneous data will eventually appear as `[unknown]` entries in the
report. It is sufficient as long as most of the records are correct for
profiling.
