Subject: [PATCH] perf tools: fix guest mode monitoring on AMD
Date: Mon, 27 Feb 2012 18:33:51 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120227173351.GA6945@quad> (raw)

Commit:

1aed267 perf kvm: Do guest-only counting by default
 
introduced a bug on AMD systems whereby simple commands:

$ perf stat ls
Performance counter stats for 'ls':
                 0 cycles                    #    0.000 GHz                    
       0.003704596 seconds time elapsed

would not count anything anymore. Same results for perf record.

I tracked it down to guest mode exclusion being enabled
by default leading to attr->exclude_guest = 1. When
not operating under any sort of virtualization, this
causes the PMU not to count anything.

The fix disables guest exclusion by default.
