This patchset adds QEMU support for querying fd-based KVM statistics.
This allows the user to analyze the behavior of the VM without access
to debugfs.
However, instead of adding an ad hoc command, the new QMP entry point
can be extended in the future to more statistics provider than KVM
(for example TCG, tap, or the block layer) and to more objects than
the VM and vCPUS (for example network interfaces or block devices).
Because the statistics exposed by KVM are not known at compile time,
the kernel interface also comes with an introspectable schema. This
schema is exposed by the query-stats-schemas QMP command.
Patches 1 and 2 add the basic support, respectively the QMP command
and the KVM producer.
Patches 3 to 6 add a basic HMP implementation. The first of the two
adds a basic filtering mechanism to the QMP command, which is then used
by HMP (which only shows vCPU statistics for the currently selected
guest CPU; this is consistent with other HMP commands and does not
flood the user with an overwhelming amount of output).
The remaining patches add more filtering, respectively by provider
and by the name of a statistic.
The v4->v5 delta mostly restructures the implementation to hve
sensible results if the same providers is specified many times in
the same query-stats invocation.
v4->v5:
- all: wrap long lines
- patch 1: fix indentation of "Note"
- patch 2: use QAPI_LIST_PREPEND and error_setg_errno
- patches 4/5: new
- patch 6: reorganize printing of units to use prefixes instead
of long names ("ns", not "nanoseconds")
- patches 1/3/7/9: filtering reimplemented to improve behavior if the
same provider occurs many times in the same query-stats invocation.
Before, all filters were evaluated first, and the callback was then
run if there was a match. Now, each filter is evaluated separately.
- patch 9: do not drop names from prototypes
