PAPR hypervisor has introduced three new counters in the VPA area of LPAR CPUs for KVM L2 guest (see [1] for terminology) observability - two for context switches from host to guest and vice versa, and one counter for getting the total time spent inside the KVM guest. Add a tracepoint that enables reading the counters for use by ftrace/perf. Note that this tracepoint is only available for nestedv2 API (i.e, KVM on PowerVM). [1] Terminology: a. L1 refers to the VM (LPAR) booted on top of PAPR hypervisor b. L2 refers to the KVM guest booted on top of L1.

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 reStructuredText 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.
