Subject: [PATCH v3 0/2] perf kvm: Add kvm stat support on riscv

'perf kvm stat report/record' generates a statistical analysis of KVM
events and can be used to analyze guest exit reasons. This patch tries
to add stat support on riscv.

Map the return value of trace_kvm_exit() to the specific cause of the 
exception, and export it to userspace.

It records on two available KVM tracepoints for riscv: "kvm:kvm_entry"
and "kvm:kvm_exit", and reports statistical data which includes events
handles time, samples, and so on.

Cross compiling perf in X86 environment may encounter issues with missing
libraries and tools. Suggest compiling nativly in RISC-V environment

Simple tests go below:

# ./perf kvm record -e "kvm:kvm_entry" -e "kvm:kvm_exit"
Lowering default frequency rate from 4000 to 2500.
Please consider tweaking /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate.

Changes from v1->v2:
- Rebased on Linux 6.9-rc3.

Changes from v2->v3:
- Add the missing assignment for 'vcpu_id_str' in patch 2.
- Remove parentheses that cause compilation errors
