[PATCH v2 15/18] perf: arm_spe: Handle guest/host exclusion flags

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



A side effect of supporting the SPE in guests is that we prevent the
host from collecting data whilst inside a guest thus creating a black-out
window. This occurs because instead of emulating the SPE, we share it
with our guests.

Let's accurately describe our capabilities by using the perf exclude
flags to prevent !exclude_guest and exclude_host flags from being used.
