From: Quan Zhou <zhouquan at iscas.ac.cn>
Add basic guest support to RISC-V perf, enabling it to distinguish
whether PMU interrupts occur in the host or the guest, and then
collect some basic guest information from the host side
(guest os callchain is not supported for now).
Based on the x86/arm implementation, tested with kvm-riscv.
test env:
- host: qemu-9.0.0
- guest: qemu-9.0.0 --enable-kvm (only start one guest and run top)
-----------------------------------------
1) perf kvm top
./perf kvm --host --guest \

--guestmodules=/root/repo/shared/modules top

--guestmodules=/root/repo/shared/modules record -a sleep 60
[ perf record: Woken up 3 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.292 MB perf.data.kvm (17990 samples) ]
3) perf kvm report (the data shown here is not complete)
./perf kvm --host --guest \
--guestkallsyms=/root/repo/shared/kallsyms \
--guestmodules=/root/repo/shared/modules report -i perf.data.kvm
