[PATCH v2 4/5] perf kvm: Support sampling guest callchains

Tianyi Liu i.pear at outlook.com
Sun Oct 8 07:57:06 PDT 2023


This patch provides support for sampling guests' callchains.

The signature of `get_perf_callchain` has been modified to explicitly
specify whether it needs to sample the host or guest callchain.
Based on the context, it will distribute the sampling request to one of
`perf_callchain_user`, `perf_callchain_kernel`, or `perf_callchain_guest`.

The reason for separately implementing `perf_callchain_user` and
`perf_callchain_kernel` is that the kernel may utilize special unwinders
such as `ORC`. However, for the guest, we only support stackframe-based
unwinding, so the implementation is generic and only needs to be
separately implemented for 32-bit and 64-bit.
