While running kvm_stat using tracepoint on ARM64 hardware (e.g. "kvm_stat
-1 -t"), the initial values of some kvm_userspace_exit counters were found
to be very suspecious. For instance the tracing tool showed that S390_TSCH
was called many times on ARM64 machine, which apparently was wrong.
This patch adds RESET ioctl support for perf monitoring. Before calling
ioctl to enable a perf event, this patch resets the counter first. With
this patch, the init counter values become correct on ARM64 hardware.
Example:
==== before patch ====
kvm_userspace_exit(S390_SIEIC) 1426 0
kvm_userspace_exit(S390_TSCH) 339 0
==== after patch ====
kvm_userspace_exit(S390_SIEIC) 0 0

call fails, the returned value is -1, which doesn't tell the details

Secondly, the values are defined using hex, but in the kernel header
they are decimal. That means values above 9 in kvm_stat are incorrect.

The kvm kernel module includes a number of trace events which can be
useful when debugging system behavior. Even on production systems these
trace events can be used to observe guest behavior and identify the
source of problems.
The kvm_flightrecorder script is a command-line wrapper for the
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing interface. Kernel symbols do not need to be
installed.
This script captures a fixed-size buffer of KVM trace events. Recent
events overwrite the oldest events when the buffer size is exceeded and
it is possible to leave KVM tracing enabled for any period of time with
just a fixed-size buffer. If the buffer is large enough this script is
a useful tool for collecting detailed information after an issue occurs
with a guest. Hence the name "flight recorder".
The script can also be used in 'tail' mode to simply view KVM trace
events as they occur. This is handy for development and to ensure that
the guest is indeed running.
