Commit Message

George Dunlap May 23, 2024, 2:10 p.m. UTC
A long-standing usability sub-optimality with xenalyze is the
necessity to specify `--svm-mode` when analyzing AMD processors.  This
fundamentally comes about because the same trace event ID is used for
both VMX and SVM, but the contents of the trace must be interpreted
differently.

Instead, allocate separate trace events for VMX and SVM vmexits in
Xen; this will allow all readers to properly interpret the meaning of
the vmexit reason.

In xenalyze, first remove the redundant call to init_hvm_data();
there's no way to get to hvm_vmexit_process() without it being already
initialized by the set_vcpu_type call in hvm_process().

Replace this with set_hvm_exit_reson_data(), and move setting of
hvm->exit_reason_* into that function.

Modify hvm_process and hvm_vmexit_process to handle all four potential
values appropriately.

If SVM entries are encountered, set opt.svm_mode so that other
SVM-specific functionality is triggered.

Remove the `--svm-mode` command-line option, since it's now redundant.
