+perf-inject - Filter to augment the events stream with additional information
+
+SYNOPSIS

+[verse]
+'perf inject <options>'
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+perf-inject reads a perf-record event stream and repipes it to stdout.  At any
+point the processing code can inject other events into the event stream - in
+this case build-ids (-b option) are read and injected as needed into the event
+stream.
+
+Build-ids are just the first user of perf-inject - potentially anything that
+needs userspace processing to augment the events stream with additional
+information could make use of this facility.

+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+There are a couple of variants of perf kvm:
+
+  'perf kvm [options] top <command>' to generates and displays
+  a performance counter profile of guest os in realtime
+  of an arbitrary workload.
+
+  'perf kvm record <command>' to record the performance couinter profile
+  of an arbitrary workload and save it into a perf data file. If both
+  --host and --guest are input, the perf data file name is perf.data.kvm.
+  If there is  no --host but --guest, the file name is perf.data.guest.
+  If there is no --guest but --host, the file name is perf.data.host.
+
+  'perf kvm report' to display the performance counter profile information
+  recorded via perf kvm record.
+
+  'perf kvm diff' to displays the performance difference amongst two perf.data
+  files captured via perf record.
+
+  'perf kvm buildid-list' to  display the buildids found in a perf data file,
+  so that other tools can be used to fetch packages with matching symbol tables
+  for use by perf report.
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+--host=::
+        Collect host side performance profile.
+--guest=::
+        Collect guest side performance profile.
+--guestmount=<path>::
+	Guest os root file system mount directory. Users mounts guest os
+        root directories under <path> by a specific filesystem access method,
+	typically, sshfs. For example, start 2 guest os. The one's pid is 8888

+        #perf kvm --host --guest --guestmount=~/guestmount top
+--guestkallsyms=<path>::
+        Guest os /proc/kallsyms file copy. 'perf' kvm' reads it to get guest
+	kernel symbols. Users copy it out from guest os.
+--guestmodules=<path>::
+	Guest os /proc/modules file copy. 'perf' kvm' reads it to get guest

 This command displays the symbolic event types which can be selected in the
 various perf commands with the -e option.
 
+RAW HARDWARE EVENT DESCRIPTOR
+-----------------------------
+Even when an event is not available in a symbolic form within perf right now,
+it can be encoded in a per processor specific way.
+
+For instance For x86 CPUs NNN represents the raw register encoding with the
+layout of IA32_PERFEVTSELx MSRs (see [Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's Manual Volume 3B: System Programming Guide] Figure 30-1 Layout
+of IA32_PERFEVTSELx MSRs) or AMD's PerfEvtSeln (see [AMD64 Architecture Programmer’s Manual Volume 2: System Programming], Page 344,
+Figure 13-7 Performance Event-Select Register (PerfEvtSeln)).
+
+Example:
+
+If the Intel docs for a QM720 Core i7 describe an event as:
+
+  Event  Umask  Event Mask
+  Num.   Value  Mnemonic    Description                        Comment
+
+  A8H      01H  LSD.UOPS    Counts the number of micro-ops     Use cmask=1 and
+                            delivered by loop stream detector  invert to count
+                                                               cycles
+
+raw encoding of 0x1A8 can be used:
+
+ perf stat -e r1a8 -a sleep 1
+ perf record -e r1a8 ...
+
+You should refer to the processor specific documentation for getting these
+details. Some of them are referenced in the SEE ALSO section below.

 Probe points are defined by following syntax.
@@ -74,13 +82,22 @@ Probe points are defined by following syntax.
 'EVENT' specifies the name of new event, if omitted, it will be set the name of the probed function. Currently, event group name is set as 'probe'.
 'FUNC' specifies a probed function name, and it may have one of the following options; '+OFFS' is the offset from function entry address in bytes, ':RLN' is the relative-line number from function entry line, and '%return' means that it probes function return. And ';PTN' means lazy matching pattern (see LAZY MATCHING). Note that ';PTN' must be the end of the probe point definition.  In addition, '@SRC' specifies a source file which has that function.
 It is also possible to specify a probe point by the source line number or lazy matching by using 'SRC:ALN' or 'SRC;PTN' syntax, where 'SRC' is the source file path, ':ALN' is the line number and ';PTN' is the lazy matching pattern.
-'ARG' specifies the arguments of this probe point. You can use the name of local variable, or kprobe-tracer argument format (e.g. $retval, %ax, etc).
+'ARG' specifies the arguments of this probe point, (see PROBE ARGUMENT).
+
+PROBE ARGUMENT
+--------------
+Each probe argument follows below syntax.
+
+ [NAME=]LOCALVAR|$retval|%REG|@SYMBOL[:TYPE]
+
+'NAME' specifies the name of this argument (optional). You can use the name of local variable, local data structure member (e.g. var->field, var.field2), or kprobe-tracer argument format (e.g. $retval, %ax, etc). Note that the name of this argument will be set as the last member name if you specify a local data structure member (e.g. field2 for 'var->field1.field2'.)
+'TYPE' casts the type of this argument (optional). If omitted, perf probe automatically set the type based on debuginfo.
 
 LINE SYNTAX
 -----------
 Line range is descripted by following syntax.
 
- "FUNC[:RLN[+NUM|:RLN2]]|SRC:ALN[+NUM|:ALN2]"
+ "FUNC[:RLN[+NUM|-RLN2]]|SRC:ALN[+NUM|-ALN2]"
 
 FUNC specifies the function name of showing lines. 'RLN' is the start line
 number from function entry line, and 'RLN2' is the end line number. As same as
