In order to effeciently switch events_{guest,host} perf counters at
guest entry/exit we add bitfields to kvm_cpu_context for guest and host
events as well as accessors for updating them.
A function is also provided which allows the PMU driver to determine
if a counter should start counting when it is enabled. With exclude_host,
we may only start counting when entering the guest.

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 Restructured Text 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.
