From: Wei Huang <wei@redhat.com> While running kvm_stat using tracepoint on ARM64 hardware (e.g. "kvm_stat -1 -t"), the initial values of some kvm_userspace_exit counters were found to be very suspecious. For instance the tracing tool showed that S390_TSCH was called many times on ARM64 machine, which apparently was wrong. This patch adds RESET ioctl support for perf monitoring. Before calling ioctl to enable a perf event, this patch resets the counter first. With this patch, the init counter values become correct on ARM64 hardware. Example:
