Hi Here are patches to support decoding an Intel PT trace that contains data from virtual machine userspace. This is done by adding functionality to perf inject to be able to inject sideband events needed for decoding, into the perf.data file recorded on the host. That is, inject events from a perf.data file recorded in a virtual machine into a perf.data file recorded on the host at the same time. For more details, see the example in the documentation added in the last patch. Note there was already support for tracing virtual machines kernel-only: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/tools/perf/Documentation/perf-intel-pt.txt?h=v5.19-rc1#n1221 or the special case of tracing KVM self tests: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/tools/perf/Documentation/perf-intel-pt.txt?h=v5.19-rc1#n1403 For general information about Intel PT also see the wiki page: https://perf.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Perf_tools_support_for_Intel%C2%AE_Processor_Trace The patches fall into 5 groups: 1. the first patch is a fix 2. the next 22 patches are preparation 3. the main patch is "perf inject: Add support for injecting guest sideband events" 4. 3 more preparation patches 5. Intel PT decoding changes The patches are mostly small except for "perf inject: Add support for injecting guest sideband events". However the code there adds new functionality, does not affect existing functionality and is consequently pretty self-contained.
