  3. NAME
  4. ----
  5. kvm_stat - Report KVM kernel module event counters
  6. SYNOPSIS
  7. --------
  8. [verse]
  9. 'kvm_stat' [OPTION]...
  10. DESCRIPTION
  11. -----------
  12. kvm_stat prints counts of KVM kernel module trace events. These events signify
  13. state transitions such as guest mode entry and exit.
  14. This tool is useful for observing guest behavior from the host perspective.
  15. Often conclusions about performance or buggy behavior can be drawn from the
  16. output.
  17. The set of KVM kernel module trace events may be specific to the kernel version
  18. or architecture. It is best to check the KVM kernel module source code for the
  19. meaning of events.
