[PATCH 0/2] perf kvm: Add kvm stat support on riscv

'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.
