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.

NAME

----
|
|
kvm_stat - Report KVM kernel module event counters
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
[verse]
|
|
'kvm_stat' [OPTION]...
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
kvm_stat prints counts of KVM kernel module trace events. These events signify
|
|
state transitions such as guest mode entry and exit.
|
|
|
|
This tool is useful for observing guest behavior from the host perspective.
|
|
Often conclusions about performance or buggy behavior can be drawn from the
|
|
output.
|
|
|
|
The set of KVM kernel module trace events may be specific to the kernel version
|
|
or architecture. It is best to check the KVM kernel module source code for the
|
|
meaning of events.
