Hello,


The patchset doesn't break s390 code (and at least build on x86), but I
don't really like some things here (e.g. direct access to
kvm_events_tp), see below.

Thanks.

I would probably drop them. There are no users besides newly
introduced const char *vcpu_id_str and decore_str_len etc anyway.

Hmm, direct access to kvm_events_tp? Maybe add a getter for this or
something like extern char *kvm_exit_trace;?
/* why strncmp? */

I think char decode[decode_str_len]; should work or we can allocate this
once globally (e.g. put it into struct perf_kvm_stat)? Not sure.
