perf: Add a EVENT_GUEST flag
Current perf doesn't explicitly schedule out all exclude_guest events while the guest is running. There is no problem with the current emulated vPMU. Because perf owns all the PMU counters. It can mask the counter which is assigned to an exclude_guest event when a guest is running (Intel way), or set the corresponding HOSTONLY bit in evsentsel (AMD way). The counter doesn't count when a guest is running. However, either way doesn't work with the introduced mediated vPMU. A guest owns all the PMU counters when it's running. The host should not mask any counters. The counter may be used by the guest. The evsentsel may be overwritten. Perf should explicitly schedule out all exclude_guest events to release the PMU resources when entering a guest, and resume the counting when exiting the guest. It's possible that an exclude_guest event is created when a guest is running. The new event should not be scheduled in as well. The ctx time is shared among different PMUs. The time cannot be stopped when a guest is running. It is required to calculate the time for events from other PMUs, e.g., uncore events. Add timeguest to track the guest run time. For an exclude_guest event, the elapsed time equals the ctx time - guest time. Cgroup has dedicated times. Use the same method to deduct the guest time from the cgroup time as well.
