Could you please add support for PR KVM tracepoints along the way? There
we do know the exit reason for every single guest <-> host transition. I
would like to move to a similar model with HV in the future, so we can
hopefully just reuse this by then.
So I think what you're saying is you want it to somehow support using
'kvm_exit' for PR and 'kvm_userspace_exit' for HV?
"kvm_userspace_exit" is implemented on both HV and PR. "kvm_exit" is PR
only, but I'm hoping we can get it working in HV as well.
Or actually use 'kvm_exit' if it exists and fall back to 'kvm_userspace_exit',
so that if HV starts providing 'kvm_exit' the script will pick that up without
further changes.
They are completely different things. "kvm_userspace_exit" tells us
which exits we take from KVM -> QEMU. "kvm_exit" tells us which exits we
take from guest -> KVM.
In fact, IIRC x86 also implements kvm_userspace_exit - or at least
something very similar to it. It's a completely separate category. Maybe
it should be a command line switch to distinguish between the count types?
Paolo, do you have any strong opinion here?
