[PATCH v2 3/5] perf/kvm: KVM exit events analysis

From: Srikar Dronamraju <srikar at linux.vnet.ibm.com>

This patch adds KVM exit event analysis support to perf for powerpc.

 - Trace KVM events :
  perf kvm stat record
  If many guests are running, we can track for a specific guest by using
  --pid as in : perf kvm stat record --pid <pid>

 - Show the results :
  perf kvm stat report

The results show the number of exits (from the guest context to
host/hypervisor context) grouped into their respective exit reasons with
their frequency.

This patch makes use of the guest exit reasons available in
"trace_book3s.h". It records on two already available tracepoints :
"kvm_hv:kvm_guest_exit" and "kvm_hv:kvm_guest_enter".

Here is a sample o/p:
 # pgrep qemu
19378
60515

2 Guests are running on the host.

 # perf kvm stat record -a
^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 4.153 MB perf.data.guest (39624 samples) ]

 # perf kvm stat report -p 60515
Analyze events for pid(s) 60515, all VCPUs:
