From 1b870fa5573e260bc74d19f381ab0dd971a8d8e7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paolo Bonzini Date: Thu, 14 Jul 2022 07:27:31 -0400 Subject: kvm: stats: tell userspace which values are boolean Some of the statistics values exported by KVM are always only 0 or 1. It can be useful to export this fact to userspace so that it can track them specially (for example by polling the value every now and then to compute a % of time spent in a specific state). Therefore, add "boolean value" as a new "unit". While it is not exactly a unit, it walks and quacks like one. In particular, using the type would be wrong because boolean values could be instantaneous or peak values (e.g. "is the rmap allocated?") or even two-bucket histograms (e.g. "number of posted vs. non-posted interrupt injections").
