Ok, probably this works, but what if I want to record guest user samples
without using 'perf kvm'?
Can we have a 'U' modifier, perhaps, for that?
I.e.
perf record -e cycles:uU would not set exclude_host not exclude_guest,
cycles:u excludes guest user, cycles:U excludes host user, would that be
possible?
Anyway, I think that with what we have, your patch makes sense, having a
way to, without using 'perf kvm' still be able to sample the guest can
be done on top. of this.
Xu, can we get your Reviewed-by if this addresses your concerns?
