xmon does not print a backtrace per default. This is bad on systems with USB keyboard, the most needed info about the crash is lost. print a backtrace during the very first xmon entry. Booting with xmon=nobt disables the autobacktrace functionality. Signed-off-by: Olaf Hering <olaf@aepfle.de> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

Adds code to keep track of the number of hypervisor calls made and
|
|
the amount of time spent in hypervisor callsr. Wall time spent in
|
|
each call is always calculated, and if available CPU cycles spent
|
|
are also calculated. A directory named hcall_inst is added at the
|
|
root of the debugfs filesystem. Within the hcall_inst directory
|
|
are files that contain CPU specific call statistics.

This option will add a small amount of overhead to all hypervisor

calls.
