From 99320cc8240affcf33c04d28f47259de3b1a75d1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joerg Roedel Date: Wed, 4 Jan 2012 17:54:19 +0100 Subject: perf tools: Add support for guest/host-only profiling To restrict a counter to either host or guest mode this patch introduces two new event modifiers: G and H. With G the counter is configured in guest-only mode and with H in host-only mode.

Modifiers allow the user to restrict when events are counted with 'u' for user-space, 'k' for kernel, 'h' for hypervisor. +Additional modifiers are 'G' for guest counting (in KVM guests) and 'H' +for host counting (not in KVM guests). The 'p' modifier can be used for specifying how precise the instruction address should be.
