kvm: tracing: Fix unmatched kvm_entry and kvm_exit events
On VMX, if we exit and then re-enter immediately without leaving the vmx_vcpu_run() function, the kvm_entry event is not logged. That means we will see one (or more) kvm_exit, without its (their) corresponding kvm_entry, as shown here: CPU-1979 [002] 89.871187: kvm_entry: vcpu 1 CPU-1979 [002] 89.871218: kvm_exit: reason MSR_WRITE CPU-1979 [002] 89.871259: kvm_exit: reason MSR_WRITE It also seems possible for a kvm_entry event to be logged, but then we leave vmx_vcpu_run() right away (if vmx->emulation_required is true). In this case, we will have a spurious kvm_entry event in the trace. Fix these situations by moving trace_kvm_entry() inside vmx_vcpu_run() (where trace_kvm_exit() already is). A trace obtained with this patch applied looks like this: CPU-14295 [000] 8388.395387: kvm_entry: vcpu 0 CPU-14295 [000] 8388.395392: kvm_exit: reason MSR_WRITE CPU-14295 [000] 8388.395393: kvm_entry: vcpu 0 CPU-14295 [000] 8388.395503: kvm_exit: reason EXTERNAL_INTERRUPT Of course, not calling trace_kvm_entry() in common x86 code any longer means that we need to adjust the SVM side of things too.
