Provide an interactive command to reset the tracepoint statistics. Requires some extra work for debugfs, as the counters cannot be reset. On the up side, this offers us the opportunity to have debugfs values reset on startup and whenever a filter is modified, becoming consistent with the tracepoint provider. As a bonus, 'kvmstat -dt' will now provide useful output, instead of mixing values in totally different orders of magnitude. Furthermore, we avoid unnecessary resets when any of the filters is "changed" interactively to the previous value.

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.
|
|
While running in regular mode, use any of the keys listed in section
|
|
'Interactive Commands' below.
|
|
Use batch and logging modes for scripting purposes.
|
|
|
|
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.
