perf parse-events: Set exclude_guest=1 for user-space counting
Currently if we run 'perf record -e cycles:u', exclude_guest=0. But it doesn't make sense in most cases that we request for user-space counting but we also get the guest report. Of course, we also need to consider 'perf kvm' usage case that authorized perf users on the host may only want to count guest user space events. For example, # perf kvm --guest record -e cycles:u When we have 'exclude_guest=1' for 'perf kvm' usage, we may get nothing from guest events. To keep perf semantics consistent and clear, this patch sets exclude_guest=1 for user-space counting but except for 'perf kvm' usage. Before: perf record -e cycles:u ./div perf evlist -v cycles:u: ..., exclude_kernel: 1, exclude_hv: 1, ... After: perf record -e cycles:u ./div perf evlist -v cycles:u: ..., exclude_kernel: 1, exclude_hv: 1, exclude_guest: 1, ... Before: perf kvm --guest record -e cycles:u -vvv perf_event_attr: size 120 { sample_period, sample_freq } 4000 sample_type IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD read_format ID disabled 1 inherit 1 exclude_kernel 1 exclude_hv 1 freq 1 sample_id_all 1 After: perf kvm --guest record -e cycles:u -vvv perf_event_attr: size 120 { sample_period, sample_freq } 4000 sample_type IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD read_format ID disabled 1 inherit 1 exclude_kernel 1 exclude_hv 1 freq 1 sample_id_all 1 For Before/After, exclude_guest are both 0 for perf kvm usage. perf test 6 6: Parse event definition strings : Ok Signed-off-by: Jin Yao <yao.jin@linux.intel.com> Tested-by: Like Xu <like.xu@linux.intel.com> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Cc: Jin Yao <yao.jin@intel.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Kan Liang <kan.liang@linux.intel.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200814012120.16647-1-yao.jin@linux.intel.comSigned-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
