But I'm not sure why we want to set it by default cause we don't care about it in most cases and I feel like it just makes new PMU implementation complicated. Of course it's useful for perf kvm command so I added the exclude_GH_default variable to preserve the old behavior for perf kvm and other commands like perf record and stat won't set the exclude bit. This is helpful for AMD IBS case since having exclude_guest bit will clear new feature bit due to the missing feature check logic. $ sysctl kernel.perf_event_paranoid kernel.perf_event_paranoid =3D 0 $ perf record -W -e ibs_op// -vv true 2>&1 | grep switching switching off PERF_FORMAT_LOST support switching off weight struct support switching off bpf_event switching off ksymbol switching off cloexec flag switching off mmap2 switching off exclude_guest, exclude_host Maybe Apple M1 users will scream but actually the default event for perf record was converted to "cycles:P" which doesn't set the exclude_guest bit already. So they need to specify the necessary modifier manually like "cycles:PH" and I think it's ok. Intestingly, I found it sets the exclude_bit if "u" modifier is used. I don't know why but it's neither intuitive nor consistent. Let's remove the bit there too.
