I agree; don't rely on kvm_events_tp. Define KVM_ENTRY_TRACE and
KVM_EXIT_TRACE like x86.


If you mean defining them in uapi, that doesn't work for arches that 
have

multiple subarches that may have different trace events.  This patchset
doesn't actually implement dynamic support for the subarches, but it 
avoids
adding constants to uapi headers that only apply to one of the 
subarches.


I don't agree on relying on kvm_events_tp[0] and [1]. If you need that 
to be a runtime definition then change KVM_ENTRY_TRACE to const char 
*kvm_entry_trace and s390 and other arches can have code to set 
kvm_{entry,exit}_trace at runtime.




Yeah, will change them to kvm_{entry,exit}_trace, instead.

Thanks for testing it on s390.


don't really like some things here (e.g. direct access to

Makes sense, will make them extern const kvm_{exit,entry}_trace and

[PATCH v8 1/4] perf, kvm/{x86, s390}: Remove dependency on uapi/kvm_perf.h

2015-09-25 Thread Hemant Kumar
Its better to remove the dependency on uapi/kvm_perf.h to allow dynamic
discovery of kvm events (if its needed). To do this, some extern
variables have been introduced with which we can keep the generic
functions generic.

Changes since v7:
- Removed __maybe_unused for some parameters which weren't needed.
