Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 1 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [Medium] The patch adds `H_FAC_UNAVAIL` to the exit reason mappings, but this mapping is missing from `trace_book3s.h`, contradicting the commit message.

perf kvm stat: Update the exit reason mappings
This commit updates the exit reason mappings in perf to sync them with
the definitions in trace_book3s.h.

The commit message states "Sync the exit reason mappings with the mappings
in trace_book3s.h".
Is this description accurate? Looking at arch/powerpc/kvm/trace_book3s.h,
it does not contain the mapping for H_FAC_UNAVAIL (0xf80):
arch/powerpc/kvm/trace_book3s.h:
#define kvm_trace_symbol_exit \
...
{0xea0, "H_VIRT"}, \
{0xf00, "PERFMON"}, \
{0xf20, "ALTIVEC"}, \
{0xf40, "VSX"}
Because trace_book3s.h lacks H_FAC_UNAVAIL, the ftrace kvm_guest_exit
tracepoint and perf kvm stat remain out of sync, as ftrace will display
the raw vector while perf will decode it.
Should trace_book3s.h also be updated to ensure they are truly synchronized?
Additionally, several other common KVM exits defined in kvm_asm.h, such as
HMI (0xe60) and H_DOORBELL (0xe80), appear to be missing from both headers.
