    perf kvm/powerpc: Add support for HCALL reasons · 78e6c39b
    Hemant Kumar authored
    Powerpc provides hcall events that also provides insights into guest
    behaviour. Enhance perf kvm stat 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". To map the hcall
    codes to their respective names, it needs a mapping. Such mapping is
    added in this patch in book3s_hcalls.h.
    
     # 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
    
    Analyze events for all VMs, all VCPUs:
