* tools: kvm_stat: Add commentsJanosch Frank2016-05-251-2/+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.

* tools: kvm_stat: Introduce pid monitoringJanosch Frank2016-05-252-22/+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.

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>

* tools: Add kvm_stat vm monitor scriptJanosch Frank2016-05-252-0/+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.
