[PATCH v3 2/5] perf kvm: Introduce guest interfaces for sampling callchains

Sun Dec 10 00:14:52 PST 2023


This patch introduces two callback interfaces used between perf and KVM:

- get_unwind_info: Return required data for unwinding at once; including
  ip address, frame pointer, whether the guest vCPU is running in 32 or 64
  bits, and possibly the base addresses of the segments.

- read_virt: Read data from a virtual address of the guest vm, used for
  reading the stack frames from the guest.
