To analyze the exit events with perf, we need to export the related
tracepoints through kvm_perf.h. kvm_perf.h is to be added in the
arch/powerpc directory, where the kvm tracepoints needed to trace the
KVM exit events are defined.

To indicate that the tracepoints are book3s_hv specific, suffix _HV has
been added to the tracepoint macros. Additionally, we also need to
define the generic macros (albeit, with null strings) suffix, because
the preprocessor looks for them in the generic code in builtin-kvm.c.

humm, there are two patchkits, this one with two patches, the other with
3, this one for the kernel, the other one for tools/, but for the tools/
part to work, does this one needs to be applied first?

Should I try to process the 5 together, applying thest two first?

Yes, this patchset needs to be applied before applying the other patchset,
since there is a direct dependency on these two for the tooling part to
work.

I see there are no acks from powerpc arch maintainers, how should we
proceed here? If there are no problems with the arch bits, and if it is
just to enable the tooling part, again, should I process the 5 as just
one series?

The reason to split the earlier patchset into two was to separate the
tooling/perf/ and arch/powerpc/ side patches, as asked by Michael..

Here is the link to that discussion :

If Michael is ok with the patches, you can process all the 5 patches together. Michael?
