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 + +SEE ALSO +-------- +'perf'(1), 'trace-cmd'(1) + +AUTHOR +------ +Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com> |
