KVM: s390,perf: Detect if perf samples belong to KVM host or guest
This patch is based on an original patch of David Hildenbrand. The perf core implementation calls architecture specific code in order to ask for specific information for a particular sample: perf_instruction_pointer() When perf core code asks for the instruction pointer, architecture specific code must detect if a KVM guest was running when the sample was taken. A sample can be associated with a KVM guest when the PSW supervisor state bit is set and the PSW instruction pointer part contains the address of 'sie_exit'. A KVM guest's instruction pointer information is then retrieved via gpsw entry pointed to by the sie control-block. perf_misc_flags() perf code code calls this function in order to associate the kernel vs. user state infomation with a particular sample. Architecture specific code must also first detectif a KVM guest was running at the time the sample was taken.
