Changes from v1->v2:
- Rebased on Linux 6.9-rc3.
'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.
