It's nominally a 64-bit register, but the upper 32 bits are reserved in
ISA 2.06. Do newer ISAs or certain implementations define things in the
upper 32 bits, or is this just about the asm accesses being wrong on
big-endian?
It's
powerpc provides hcall events that also provides insights into guest
behaviour. Enhance perf kvm to record and analyze hcall events.
- To trace hcall events :
perf kvm stat record
- To show the results :
perf kvm stat report --event=hcall
The result shows the number of hypervisor calls
To analyze the kvm exits with perf, we will need to map the exit codes
with the exit reasons. Such a mapping exists today in trace_book3s.h.
Currently its not exported to perf.
This patch moves these kvm exit reasons and their mapping from
arch/powerpc/kvm/trace_book3s.h to
For perf to analyze the KVM events like hcalls, we need the
hypervisor calls and their codes to be exported through uapi.
This patch moves most of the pSeries hcall codes from
arch/powerpc/include/asm/hvcall.h to
arch/powerpc/include/uapi/asm/pseries_hcalls.h.
It also moves the mapping
