Previously any PMU overflow interrupt that fired while a VCPU was loaded was recorded as a guest event whether it truly was or not. This resulted in nonsense perf recordings that did not honor perf_event_attr.exclude_guest and recorded guest IPs where it should have recorded host IPs. Rework the sampling logic to only record guest samples for events with exclude_guest = 0. This way any host-only events with exclude_guest set will never see unexpected guest samples. The behaviour of events with exclude_guest = 0 is unchanged. Note that events configured to sample both host and guest may still misattribute a PMI that arrived in the host as a guest event depending on KVM arch and vendor behavior.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
