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. + +Note that trace events are counted globally across all running guests. + +@c man end + +@c man begin OPTIONS +@table @option +@item -1, --once, --batch + run in batch mode for one second +@item -l, --log + run in logging mode (like vmstat) +@item -t, --tracepoints + retrieve statistics from tracepoints +@item -d, --debugfs + retrieve statistics from debugfs +@item -f, --fields=@var{fields} + fields to display (regex) +@item -h, --help + show help message +@end table + +@c man end + +@ignore + +@setfilename kvm_stat +@settitle Report KVM kernel module event counters. + +@c man begin AUTHOR +Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com> +@c man end + +@c man begin SEEALSO +perf(1), trace-cmd(1) +@c man end + +@end ignore |
