[PATCH 3/8] perf stat: Add --exclude-guest option

From: Namhyung Kim
Date: Wed Sep 04 2024 - 02:42:05 EST


This option is to support the old behavior of setting exclude_guest by
default. Now it doesn't set the bit so users want the old behavior can
use this option.

$ perf stat true

+Don't count event in the guest mode. It was the old behavior but the
+default is changed to count guest events also. Use this option if you
