Currently the userspace and kernel filters for guests are never set, so
no trace will be generated for them. Add support for tracing guests by
passing the desired TRFCR value to KVM so it can be applied to the
guest.
By writing either E1TRE or E0TRE, filtering on either guest kernel or
guest userspace is also supported. And if both E1TRE and E0TRE are
cleared when exclude_guest is set, that option is supported too. This
change also brings exclude_host support which is difficult to add as a
separate commit without excess churn and resulting in no trace at all.
cpu_prohibit_trace() gets moved to TRBE because the ETM driver doesn't
need the read, it already has the base TRFCR value. TRBE only needs
the read to disable it and then restore.
Testing
=======
The addresses were counted with the following:
$ perf report -D | grep -Eo 'EL2|EL1|EL0' | sort | uniq -c
Guest kernel only:
$ perf record -e cs_etm//Gk -a -- true
535 EL1
1 EL2
Guest user only (only 5 addresses because the guest runs slowly in the
model):
$ perf record -e cs_etm//Gu -a -- true
5 EL0
Host kernel only:
$ perf record -e cs_etm//Hk -a -- true
3501 EL2
Host userspace only:
$ perf record -e cs_etm//Hu -a -- true
408 EL0
1 EL2

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.
