Have you tried perf kvm stat? e.g.

perf kvm stat record -a sleep 10 # record all vmexits for 10 seconds
perf kvm stat report --event=vmexit

This gives per-exit counts and min/max/avg latencies.

Alternatively you can record the raw events kvm:kvm_exit and kvm:kvm_entry and
process the data however you want.
