The ARM architecture only saves the exit class to the HSR (ESR_EL2 for
arm64) on synchronous exceptions, not on asynchronous exceptions like an
IRQ.  However, we only report the exception class on kvm_exit, which is
confusing because an IRQ looks like it exited at some PC with the same
reason as the previous exit.  Add a lookup table for the exception index
and prepend the kvm_exit tracepoint text with the exception type to
clarify this situation.

Also resolve the exception class (EC) to a human-friendly text version
so the trace output becomes immediately usable for debugging this code.

That patch just proved very useful for me, especially since the encoding
of .EC is different between ARM & ARM64, so thanks for that!

But still there is HSR.EC reported for asynchronous exceptions, which is
confusing, so I wonder if it would be worth to have two tracepoints to
just report the PC for async exits and .EC and PC for traps?
I guess it would be neater to have this differentiation in the
TRACE_EVENT macro invocation, but I reckon it is not powerful enough?

Also this patch is independent from both the first one and the reworked
arch timer series. I see your intention of pushing your arch timer
series through ;-), but I suggest to make this patch separate and add
1/2 to the arch timer series.

Cheers,
Andre.

I'd really like to have a single kvm_exit macro, because userspace
scripts etc. count this event.

I thought about doing something more meaningful, but couldn't think of a
better way, and in any case, this needs to be fixed first and we can
always add something on top.

Patches are welcome :)

I anticipate this will not go in before the next merge window opens, and
surely the timer patch series in which ever form it ends up being in,
should go in before that, given that it fixes real issues, so hence the
way I sent out these patches.  No hidden agendas - for once ;)
