This patchset exposes an emulated version 2 architectural performance monitoring unit to KVM guests. The PMU is emulated using perf_events, so the host kernel can multiplex host-wide, host-user, and the guest on available resources. The patches are against next branch on kvm.git. If you want to try running perf in a guest you need to apply the patch below to qemu-kvm and use -cpu host on qemu command line. But DO NOT TRY those patches without applying [1][2] to the host kernel first. Don't tell me I didn't warn you!
