2016-05-25	tools: kvm_stat: Add comments	Janosch Frank	1	-2/+159
	A lot of the code works with the perf events about which only sparse documentation was available until 2012. Having that information now, we can clarify what is done in the code. Signed-off-by: Janosch Frank <frankja@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
2016-05-25	tools: kvm_stat: Introduce pid monitoring	Janosch Frank	2	-22/+167
	Having stats for single VMs can help to determine the problem of a VM without the need of running other tools like perf. The tracepoints already allowed pid level monitoring, but kvm_stat didn't have support for it till now. Support for the newly implemented debugfs vm monitoring was also implemented.

2016-05-25	tools: kvm_stat: Powerpc related fixes	Hemant Kumar	1	-0/+2
	kvm_stat script is failing to execute on powerpc : # ./kvm_stat Traceback (most recent call last): File "./kvm_stat", line 825, in <module> main() File "./kvm_stat", line 813, in main providers = get_providers(options) File "./kvm_stat", line 778, in get_providers providers.append(TracepointProvider()) File "./kvm_stat", line 416, in __init__ self.filters = get_filters() File "./kvm_stat", line 315, in get_filters if ARCH.exit_reasons: AttributeError: 'ArchPPC' object has no attribute 'exit_reasons' This is because, its trying to access a non-defined attribute. Also, the IOCTL number of RESET is incorrect for powerpc. The correct number has been added. Signed-off-by: Hemant Kumar <hemant@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
2016-05-25	tools: Add kvm_stat man page	Paolo Bonzini	2	-2/+99
	Converted from the Texinfo source in QEMU to asciidoc. The a2x incantation was provided by Janosch Frank. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
2016-05-25	tools: Add kvm_stat vm monitor script	Janosch Frank	2	-0/+830
	This tool displays kvm vm exit statistics to ease vm monitoring. It takes its data from the kvm debugfs files or the vm tracepoints and outputs them as a curses ui or simple text. It was moved from qemu, as it is dependent on the kernel whereas qemu works with a large number of kernel versions, some of which may break the script.
