Right, your consideration is true.

perf and trace-cmd can actually translate raw-formatted trace data to
text-formatted trace data by using information of kernel or trace
format under tracing/events directory in debugfs. In the same way, if
the information of a guest is exported to a host, we can translate
raw trace data of a guest to text trace data on a host. We will use
9pfs to export that.

Thank you,
