Stefan Raspl 883d25e70b tools/kvm_stat: fix fields filter for child events
The fields filter would not work with child fields, as the respective
parents would not be included. No parents displayed == no childs displayed.
To reproduce, run on s390 (would work on other platforms, too, but would
require a different filter name):
- Run 'kvm_stat -d'
- Press 'f'
- Enter 'instruct'
Notice that events like instruction_diag_44 or instruction_diag_500 are not
displayed - the output remains empty.
With this patch, we will filter by matching events and their parents.
However, consider the following example where we filter by
instruction_diag_44:

  kvm statistics - summary
                   regex filter: instruction_diag_44
   Event                                         Total %Total CurAvg/s
   exit_instruction                                276  100.0       12
     instruction_diag_44                           256   92.8       11
   Total                                           276              12

Note that the parent ('exit_instruction') displays the total events, but
the childs listed do not match its total (256 instead of 276). This is
intended (since we're filtering all but one child), but might be confusing
on first sight.

Stefan Raspl 516f1190a1 tools/kvm_stat: eliminate extra guest/pid selection dialog
We can do with a single dialog that takes both, pids and guest names.
Note that we keep both interactive commands, 'p' and 'g' for now, to
avoid confusion among users used to a specific key.

While at it, we improve on some minor glitches regarding curses usage,
e.g. cursor still visible when not supposed to be.

Stefan Raspl fff8c9eb48 tools/kvm_stat: fix child trace events accounting
Child trace events were included in calculation of the overall total,
which is used for calculation of the percentages of the '%Total' column.
However, the parent trace envents' stats summarize the child trace
events, hence we'd incorrectly account for them twice, leading to
slightly wrong stats.
With this fix, we use the correct total. Consequently, the sum of the
child trace events' '%Total' column values is identical to the
respective value of the respective parent event. However, this also
means that the sum of the '%Total' column values will aggregate to more
than 100 percent.

Stefan Raspl 5c1954d25d tools/kvm_stat: add new interactive command 'b'
Toggle display total number of events by guest (debugfs only).
When switching to display of events by guest, field filters remain
active. I.e. the number of events per guest reported considers only
events matching the filters. Likewise with pid/guest filtering.
Note that when switching to display of events by guest, DebugfsProvider
remains to collect data for events as it did before, but the read()
method summarizes the values by pid.

Stefan Raspl ab7ef193fa tools/kvm_stat: add new command line switch '-i'
It might be handy to display the full history of event stats to compare
the current event distribution against any available historic data.
Since we have that available for debugfs, we offer a respective command
line option to display what's available.

Stefan Raspl 9f114a03c6 tools/kvm_stat: add interactive command 'r'
Provide an interactive command to reset the tracepoint statistics.
Requires some extra work for debugfs, as the counters cannot be reset.

On the up side, this offers us the opportunity to have debugfs values
reset on startup and whenever a filter is modified, becoming consistent
with the tracepoint provider. As a bonus, 'kvmstat -dt' will now provide
useful output, instead of mixing values in totally different orders of
magnitude.
Furthermore, we avoid unnecessary resets when any of the filters is
"changed" interactively to the previous value.

Stefan Raspl f9ff108735 tools/kvm_stat: add option '--guest'
Add a new option '-g'/'--guest' to select a particular process by providing
the QEMU guest name.
Notes:
- The logic to figure out the pid corresponding to the guest name might look
  scary, but works pretty reliably in practice; in the unlikely event that it
  returns add'l flukes, it will bail out and hint at using '-p' instead, no
  harm done.
- Mixing '-g' and '-p' is possible, and the final instance specified on the
  command line is the significant one. This is consistent with current
  behavior for '-p' which, if specified multiple times, also regards the final
  instance as the significant one.

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.
