Alter the data collection points for the debug timing code in the P9
path to be more in line with what the code does. The points where we
accumulate time are now the following:
vcpu_entry: From vcpu_run_hv entry until the start of the inner loop;
guest_entry: From the start of the inner loop until the guest entry in
asm;
in_guest: From the guest entry in asm until the return to KVM C code;
guest_exit: From the return into KVM C code until the corresponding
hypercall/page fault handling or re-entry into the guest;
hypercall: Time spent handling hcalls in the kernel (hcalls can go to
QEMU, not accounted here);
page_fault: Time spent handling page faults;
vcpu_exit: vcpu_run_hv exit (almost no code here currently).
Like before, these are exposed in debugfs in a file called
"timings". There are four values:
- number of occurrences of the accumulation point;
- total time the vcpu spent in the phase in ns;
- shortest time the vcpu spent in the phase in ns;
- longest time the vcpu spent in the phase in ns;

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.
