2023-02-07	RISC-V: KVM: Support firmware events	Atish Patra	1	-33/+108
	SBI PMU extension defines a set of firmware events which can provide useful information to guests about the number of SBI calls. As hypervisor implements the SBI PMU extension, these firmware events correspond to ecall invocations between VS->HS mode. All other firmware events will always report zero if monitored as KVM doesn't implement them. This patch adds all the infrastructure required to support firmware events.

2023-02-07	RISC-V: KVM: Implement perf support without sampling	Atish Patra	1	-4/+356
	RISC-V SBI PMU & Sscofpmf ISA extension allows supporting perf in the virtualization enviornment as well. KVM implementation relies on SBI PMU extension for the most part while trapping & emulating the CSRs read for counter access. This patch doesn't have the event sampling support yet.

2023-02-07	RISC-V: KVM: Implement trap & emulate for hpmcounters	Atish Patra	1	-1/+58
	As the KVM guests only see the virtual PMU counters, all hpmcounter access should trap and KVM emulates the read access on behalf of guests.

2023-02-07	RISC-V: KVM: Make PMU functionality depend on Sscofpmf	Atish Patra	1	-0/+8
	The privilege mode filtering feature must be available in the host so that the host can inhibit the counters while the execution is in HS mode. Otherwise, the guests may have access to critical guest information.

2023-02-07	RISC-V: KVM: Add skeleton support for perf	Atish Patra	1	-0/+141
	This patch only adds barebone structure of perf implementation. Most of the function returns zero at this point and will be implemented fully in the future.
