IMC trace-mode uses MSR[HV/PR] bits to set the cpumode for the
instruction pointer captured in each sample. The bits are fetched from
the third double word of the trace record. Reading third double word
from IMC trace record should use be64_to_cpu() along with READ_ONCE
inorder to fetch correct MSR[HV/PR] bits. Patch addresses this change.
Currently we are using PERF_RECORD_MISC_HYPERVISOR as cpumode if MSR
HV is 1 and PR is 0 which means the address is from host counter. But
using PERF_RECORD_MISC_HYPERVISOR for host counter data will fail to
resolve the address -> symbol during "perf report" because perf tools
side uses PERF_RECORD_MISC_KERNEL to represent the host counter data.
Therefore, fix the trace imc sample data to use
PERF_RECORD_MISC_KERNEL as cpumode for host kernel information.

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 Restructured Text 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.
