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

From: Hemant Kumar
Date: Mon Jun 15 2015 - 01:08:39 EST


From: Srikar Dronamraju <srikar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

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
Analyze events for pid(s) 60515, all VCPUs:

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@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg90506.html
which exports the kvm exit reasons.
