./trace-cmd record -b 20000 -e kvm
./trace-cmd report | grep -i task_switch
qemu-system-x86-6024 [001] 792774.719297: kvm_exit: reason
task_switch rip 0x4883 info 158 4000000000
But I can't interpret it. But I know my patch works well. Since it is
just a module parameter it is fully backward compatible by default and
because of the one liner no side effects are possible. So a intergration
would be good.
Ciao,
Gerhard
