Stefan Raspl dadf1e7839 tools/kvm_stat: handle SIGINT in log and batch modes
SIGINT causes ugly unhandled exceptions in log and batch mode, which we
prevent by catching the exceptions accordingly.

Stefan Raspl 9fc0adfc42 tools/kvm_stat: catch curses exceptions only
The previous version was catching all exceptions, including SIGINT.
We only want to catch the curses exceptions here.

Stefan Raspl a0b4e6a032 tools/kvm_stat: hide cursor
When running kvm_stat in interactive mode, the cursor appears at the lower
left corner, which looks a bit distracting.
This patch hides the cursor by turning it invisible.

Janosch Frank fabc712866 tools: kvm_stat: Add comments
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.

Janosch Frank f0cf040f84 tools: kvm_stat: Introduce pid monitoring
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.

Hemant Kumar c7d4fb5a6e tools: kvm_stat: Powerpc related fixes
kvm_stat script is failing to execute on powerpc :
 # ./kvm_stat
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./kvm_stat", line 825, in <module>
    main()
  File "./kvm_stat", line 813, in main
    providers = get_providers(options)
  File "./kvm_stat", line 778, in get_providers
    providers.append(TracepointProvider())
  File "./kvm_stat", line 416, in __init__
    self.filters = get_filters()
  File "./kvm_stat", line 315, in get_filters
    if ARCH.exit_reasons:
AttributeError: 'ArchPPC' object has no attribute 'exit_reasons'

This is because, its trying to access a non-defined attribute.

Also, the IOCTL number of RESET is incorrect for powerpc. The correct
number has been added.

Janosch Frank f9bc9e65fb tools: Add kvm_stat vm monitor script
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.
