perf kvm/powerpc: Add support for HCALL reasons
Powerpc provides hcall events that also provides insights into guest behaviour. Enhance perf kvm stat to record and analyze hcall events. - To trace hcall events : perf kvm stat record - To show the results : perf kvm stat report --event=hcall The result shows the number of hypervisor calls from the guest grouped by their respective reasons displayed with the frequency. This patch makes use of two additional tracepoints "kvm_hv:kvm_hcall_enter" and "kvm_hv:kvm_hcall_exit". To map the hcall codes to their respective names, it needs a mapping. Such mapping is added in this patch in book3s_hcalls.h. # pgrep qemu A sample output : 19378 60515 2 VMs running. # perf kvm stat record -a ^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 4.153 MB perf.data.guest (39624 samples) ] # perf kvm stat report -p 60515 --event=hcall Analyze events for all VMs, all VCPUs: HCALL-EVENT Samples Samples% Time% MinTime MaxTime AvgTime H_IPI 822 66.08% 88.10% 0.63us 11.38us 2.05us (+- 1.42%) H_SEND_CRQ 144 11.58% 3.77% 0.41us 0.88us 0.50us (+- 1.47%) H_VIO_SIGNAL 118 9.49% 2.86% 0.37us 0.83us 0.47us (+- 1.43%) H_PUT_TERM_CHAR 76 6.11% 2.07% 0.37us 0.90us 0.52us (+- 2.43%) H_GET_TERM_CHAR 74 5.95% 2.23% 0.37us 1.70us 0.58us (+- 4.77%) H_RTAS 6 0.48% 0.85% 1.10us 9.25us 2.70us (+-48.57%) H_PERFMON 4 0.32% 0.12% 0.41us 0.96us 0.59us (+-20.92%) Total Samples:1244, Total events handled time:1916.69us.
