[PATCH 0/2] perf kvm: Add kvm stat support on riscv

[Shenlin Liang]

Gentle ping...

> 
> 'perf kvm stat report/record' generates a statistical analysis of KVM
> events and can be used to analyze guest exit reasons. This patch tries
> to add stat support on riscv.
> 
> Map the return value of trace_kvm_exit() to the specific cause of the 
> exception, and export it to userspace.
> 
> It records on two available KVM tracepoints for riscv: "kvm:kvm_entry"
> and "kvm:kvm_exit", and reports statistical data which includes events
> handles time, samples, and so on.
> 
> Simple tests go below:
> 
> # ./perf kvm record -e "kvm:kvm_entry" -e "kvm:kvm_exit"
> Lowering default frequency rate from 4000 to 2500.
> Please consider tweaking /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate.
