perf tools kvm: Use "cycles" to sample guest for "kvm record" on Intel
After KVM supports PEBS for guest on Intel platforms
(https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220411101946.20262-1-likexu@tencent.com/),
host loses the capability to sample guest with PEBS since all PEBS related
MSRs are switched to guest value after vm-entry, like IA32_DS_AREA MSR is
switched to guest GVA at vm-entry. This would lead to "perf kvm record"
fails to sample guest on Intel platforms since "cycles:P" event is used to
sample guest by default as below case shows.
sudo perf kvm record -a
^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.787 MB perf.data.guest ]
So to ensure guest record can be sampled successfully, use "cycles"
instead of "cycles:P" to sample guest record by default on Intel
platforms. With this patch, the guest record can be sampled
successfully.
sudo perf kvm record -a
^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.783 MB perf.data.guest (23 samples) ]
