Christian Ehrhardt 3f7f95c65e KVM: kvmtrace: replace get_cycles with ktime_get v3
The current kvmtrace code uses get_cycles() while the interpretation would be
easier using using nanoseconds. ktime_get() should give at least the same
accuracy as get_cycles on all architectures (even better on 32bit archs) but
at a better unit (e.g. comparable between hosts with different frequencies.

[avi: avoid ktime_t in public header]

Christian Ehrhardt e32c8f2c07 KVM: kvmtrace: Remove use of bit fields in kvm trace structure
This patch fixes kvmtrace use on big endian systems. When using bit fields the
compiler will lay data out in the wrong order expected when laid down into a
file.
This fixes it by using one variable instead of using bit fields.

Tan, Li 9ef621d3be KVM: Support mixed endian machines
Currently kvmtrace is not portable. This will prevent from copying a
trace file from big-endian target to little-endian workstation for analysis.
In the patch, kernel outputs metadata containing a magic number to trace
log, and changes 64-bit words to be u64 instead of a pair of u32s.

This interface allows user a space application to read the trace of kvm
related events through relayfs.
