Add support for the :G and :H attributes in perf by handling the exclude_host/exclude_guest event attributes. We notify KVM of counters that we wish to be enabled or disabled on guest entry/exit and thus defer from starting or stopping events based on their event attributes. With !VHE we switch the counters between host/guest at EL2. We are able to eliminate counters counting host events on the boundaries of guest entry/exit when using :G by filtering out EL2 for exclude_host. When using !exclude_hv there is a small blackout window at the guest entry/exit where host events are not captured.

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 Restructured Text 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.
