[RFC/PATCHSET 0/8] perf tools: Do not set attr.exclude_guest by default (v2)

[Namhyung Kim]

Hello,

I found perf tools set exclude_guest bit inconsistently.  It used to
set the bit but now the default event for perf record doesn't.  So I'm
wondering why we want the bit in the first place.

Actually it's not good for PMUs don't support any exclusion like AMD
IBS because it disables new features after the exclude_guest due to
the missing feature detection logic.

v2 changes)
 * update the missing feature detection logic
 * separate exclude_hv fallback
 * add new fallback for exclude_guest

v1) https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240902014621.2002343-1-namhyung@xxxxxxxxxx/

AFAIK it doesn't matter for the most cases but perf kvm.  If users
need to set the bit, they can still use :H modifier.  For vPMU pass-
through or Apple M1, it'd add the exclude_guest during the fallback
logic.  Please let me know if it's ok for you.

The code is available at 'perf/exclude-v2' branch in
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/namhyung/linux-perf.git

Thanks,
Namhyung
