perf kvm can be used to analyze guest exit reasons. This support already
exists in x86. Hence, porting it to powerpc.
- To trace KVM events :
perf kvm stat record
If many guests are running, we can track for a specific guest by using
--pid as in : perf kvm stat record --pid <pid>
- To see the results :
perf kvm stat report
The result shows the number of exits (from the guest context to
host/hypervisor context) grouped by their respective exit reasons with
their frequency.
Since, different powerpc machines have different KVM tracepoints, this
patch discovers the available tracepoints dynamically and accordingly
looks for them. If any single tracepoint is not present, this support
won't be enabled for reporting. To record, this will fail if any of the
events we are looking to record isn't available. Right now, its only
supported on PowerPC Book3S_HV architectures.
To analyze the different exits, group them and present them (in a slight
descriptive way) to the user, we need a mapping between the "exit code"
(dumped in the kvm_guest_exit tracepoint data) and to its related
Interrupt vector description (exit reason). This patch adds this mapping
in book3s_hv_exits.h.
It records on two available KVM tracepoints for book3s_hv:
"kvm_hv:kvm_guest_exit" and "kvm_hv:kvm_guest_enter".
Here is a sample o/p:
# pgrep qemu
19378
60515
2 Guests are running on the host.
# perf kvm stat record -a
^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 4.153 MB perf.data.guest (39624
samples) ]
# perf kvm stat report -p 60515

This patch removes the "const" qualifier from kvm_events_tp declaration
to account for the fact that some architectures may need to update this
variable dynamically. For instance, powerpc will need to update this
variable dynamically depending on the machine type.

Its better to remove the dependency on uapi/kvm_perf.h to allow dynamic
discovery of kvm events (if its needed). To do this, some extern
variables have been introduced with which we can keep the generic
functions generic.

Enable perf kvm to use perf.data.guest when it is not owned by current
user or root.
Example:
# perf kvm stat record ls
# chown Yunlong.Song:Yunlong.Song perf.data.guest
# ls -al perf.data.guest
-rw------- 1 Yunlong.Song Yunlong.Song 4128937 Apr 2 11:05 perf.data.guest
# id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),64(pkcs11)
Before this patch:
# perf kvm stat report
File perf.data.guest not owned by current user or root (use -f to override)
Initializing perf session failed
# perf kvm stat report -f
Error: unknown switch `f'
usage: perf kvm stat report [<options>]
--event <report event>
event for reporting: vmexit, mmio (x86 only),
ioport (x86 only)
--vcpu <n> vcpu id to report
-k, --key <sort-key> key for sorting: sample(sort by samples
number) time (sort by avg time)
-p, --pid <pid> analyze events only for given process id(s)
As shown above, the -f option does not work at all.
After this patch:
# perf kvm stat report
File perf.data.guest not owned by current user or root (use -f to override)
Initializing perf session failed
# perf kvm stat report -f
Analyze events for all VMs, all VCPUs:
VM-EXIT Samples Samples% Time% Min Time Max Time Avg time
Total Samples:0, Total events handled time:0.00us.
As shown above, the -f option really works now. Since we have not
launched any KVM related process, the result shows 0 sample here.

The 'perf kvm stat report' command uses the kvm->pid_str field to keep
the value of the --pid option. Let's use kvm->opts.target.pid instead.

On s390, the vmexit event has a tree-like structure: between
exit_event_begin and exit_event_end several other events may happen and
with each of them refining the previous ones.
This patch adds a decoder for such events to the generic code and also
the files <asm/kvm_perf.h> and kvm-stat.c for s390.
Commands 'perf kvm stat record', 'report' and 'live' are supported.

Current code skips output of the x86 specific HLT event in order to
avoid flooding the output with enabled --duration option. The events to
be skipped should be architecture dependent, though.
Let's add an architecture specific array of events to be skipped and
introduce a skip_event() function checking against that array.

Parts of a 'perf kvm stat' code make sense only for x86.
Let's move this code into the arch/x86/kvm-stat.c file and add
util/kvm-stat.h for generic structure definitions.
Add a global array 'kvm_reg_events_ops' for accessing the arch-specific
'kvm_events_ops' from generic code.
Since the several global arrays (i.e. 'kvm_events_tp') have been moved
to arch/*, we can not know their sizes and use them directly in
builtin-kvm.c. This patch fixes that problem by adding trimming NULL
element to each array and changing the behavior of their handlers in
generic code.
