Linux kernel source tree

The exclude_guest in the event attribute is to limit profiling in the host environment. But I'm not sure why we want to set it by default cause we don't care about it in most cases and I feel like it just makes new PMU implementation complicated. Of course it's useful for perf kvm command so I added the exclude_GH_default variable to preserve the old behavior for perf kvm and other commands like perf record and stat won't set the exclude bit. This is helpful for AMD IBS case since having exclude_guest bit will clear new feature bit due to the missing feature check logic. $ sysctl kernel.perf_event_paranoid kernel.perf_event_paranoid = 0 $ perf record -W -e ibs_op// -vv true 2>&1 | grep switching switching off PERF_FORMAT_LOST support switching off weight struct support switching off bpf_event switching off ksymbol switching off cloexec flag switching off mmap2 switching off exclude_guest, exclude_host Intestingly, I found it sets the exclude_bit if "u" modifier is used. I don't know why but it's neither intuitive nor consistent. Let's remove the bit there too.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
