[PATCH v4 5/9] kvm: Add host pmu to support VM introspection

Punit Agrawal punit.agrawal at arm.com
Tue Jan 31 09:16:26 PST 2017


Add a software PMU on the host that supports tracking VM operations (in
the form of PMU events). To add support for events, users of this
functionality will provide the callbacks to configure the VM to
enable/disable the events and read a count of the event's frequency.

The host PMU events can be controlled by tools like perf using standard
kernel perf interfaces.
