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.

This patch adds a kvm debugfs subdirectory for each VM, which is named
after its pid and file descriptor. The directories contain the same
kind of files that are already in the kvm debugfs directory, but the
data exported through them is now VM specific.
This makes the debugfs kvm data a convenient alternative to the
tracepoints which already have per VM data. The debugfs data is easy
to read and low overhead.

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.

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.

The patches look good, but you are not moving over the documentation.
I started looking at asciidoc, but perf's documentation Makefiles seem
to be overkill for our purposes. (My prototype conversion of the docs
to asciidoc after my signature).
Perhaps pod2man could be an alternative (using QEMU's texi2pod to
build the kvm_stat.pod input)?

kvm_stat(1)
===========
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.
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.
OPTIONS
-------
-1::
--once::
--batch::
run in batch mode for one second
-l::
--log::
run in logging mode (like vmstat)
-t::
--tracepoints::
retrieve statistics from tracepoints
-d::
--debugfs::
retrieve statistics from debugfs
-f<fields>::
--fields=<fields>::
fields to display (regex)
-h::
--help::
show help message

The script already outputs a help text, which could be extended to the
man's text. I.e. I left it out on purpose.
Anyway, creating the manpage from asciidoc sources is a matter of having
the right packages and simply calling:
a2x --doctype manpage --format manpage file.txt
Works flawlessly with your example and is much more readable than the
texi source. I would give it a try and add it to the first patch if you
do not have any concerns?
The makefile would come down to (feel free to improve, I rarely write
makefiles):
include ../../scripts/Makefile.include
include ../../scripts/utilities.mak
BINDIR=usr/bin
MANDIR=usr/share/man/man1
ASCIIDOC=asciidoc
asciidoc_path := $(call get-executable,$(ASCIIDOC))
check-asciidoc:
ifeq ($(asciidoc_path),)
$(error "You need to install asciidoc for man pages")
endif

+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.
+
+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.

Great, thanks!
Don't forget the manpage changes for the pid monitoring, i.e. the
-p/--pid argument and the removal of the note.
