The only way to really address this is to change the interaction.
Instead of running perf externally to qemu, we should support a perf
command in the qemu monitor that can then tie directly to the perf
tooling. That gives us the best possible user experience.
To what extent could this be solved with less crossing of
isolation/abstraction layers, if the perfctr facilities were properly
virtualized?
That's the more interesting (by far) usage model. In general guest
owners don't have access to the host, and host owners can't (and
shouldn't) change guests.
Monitoring guests from the host is useful for kvm developers, but less
so for users.
