[PATCH 1/2] perf_counter: tools: Make :u and :k exclude hypervisor

[Paul Mackerras]

At present, appending ":u" to an event sets the exclude_kernel bit,
and ":k" sets the exclude_user bit.  There is no way to set the
exclude_hv bit, which means that on systems with a hypervisor (e.g.
IBM pSeries systems), we get counts from hypervisor mode for an event
such as 0:1:u.

This fixes the problem by setting all three exclude bits when we see
the second ':' and the clearing the exclude bits corresponding to the
modes we want to count.  This also adds a ":h" modifier to allow the
user to ask for counts in hypervisor mode.
