[PATCH RESEND v4 1/2] perf/kvm: Port perf kvm to powerpc

[Hemant Kumar]

From: Srikar Dronamraju <srikar@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

perf kvm can be used to analyze guest exit reasons. This support already
exists in x86. Hence, porting it to powerpc.

 - To trace KVM events :
  perf kvm stat record
  If many guests are running, we can track for a specific guest by using
  --pid as in : perf kvm stat record --pid <pid>

 - To see the results :
  perf kvm stat report

The result shows the number of exits (from the guest context to
host/hypervisor context) grouped by their respective exit reasons with
their frequency.

This patch makes use of the guest exit reasons available in
"trace_book3s.h". It records on two already available tracepoints :
"kvm_hv:kvm_guest_exit" and "kvm_hv:kvm_guest_enter".

Note : This patch has a dependency on the patch "kvm/powerpc: Export
kvm exit reasons" which exports the KVM exit reasons through the uapi.

Here is a sample o/p:
 # pgrep qemu
19378
60515

2 Guests are running on the host.

 # perf kvm stat record -a
^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 4.153 MB perf.data.guest (39624 samples) ]

 # perf kvm stat report -p 60515

Patch Resend :
- Added few more people to cc list.
- Rebased it to current tip.
Changes :
- Moved the uapi related changes to arch/powerpc patchset.

This patch has a dependency on :
http://www.mail-archive.com/linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org/msg90506.html
which exports the kvm exit reasons.

[PATCH RESEND v4 2/2] perf/kvm: Support HCALL events

[Hemant Kumar]

powerpc provides hcall events that also provides insights into guest
behaviour. Enhance perf kvm to record and analyze hcall events.

 - To trace hcall events :
  perf kvm stat record

 - To show the results :
  perf kvm stat report --event=hcall

The result shows the number of hypervisor calls from the guest grouped
by their respective reasons displayed with the frequency.

This patch makes use of two additional tracepoints
"kvm_hv:kvm_hcall_enter" and "kvm_hv:kvm_hcall_exit". It uses the
pSeries hypervisor codes exported through uapi to classify the hcalls
into their respective reasons.

Note : This patch has a dependency on "kvm/powerpc: Export HCALL reason
codes" which exports HCALL reasons through uapi.

 # pgrep qemu
A sample output :
19378
60515

2 VMs running.

 # perf kvm stat record -a
^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 4.153 MB perf.data.guest (39624 samples) ]

 # perf kvm stat report -p 60515 --event=hcall
