The value of data can only be increased. + Most of the counters used in KVM are of this type. + The corresponding ``count`` field for this type is always 1. + * ``KVM_STATS_TYPE_INSTANT`` + The statistics data is instantaneous. Its value can be increased or + decreased. This type is usually used as a measurement of some resources, + like the number of dirty pages, the number of large pages, etc. + The corresponding ``count`` field for this type is always 1. + +Bits 4-7 of ``flags`` encode the unit: + * ``KVM_STATS_UNIT_NONE`` + There is no unit for the value of statistics data. This usually means that + the value is a simple counter of an event. + * ``KVM_STATS_UNIT_BYTES`` + It indicates that the statistics data is used to measure memory size, in the + unit of Byte, KiByte, MiByte, GiByte, etc. The unit of the data is + determined by the ``exponent`` field in the descriptor. The + ``KVM_STATS_BASE_POW2`` flag is valid in this case. The unit of the data is + determined by ``pow(2, exponent)``. For example, if value is 10, + ``exponent`` is 20, which means the unit of statistics data is MiByte, we + can get the statistics data in the unit of Byte by + ``value * pow(2, exponent) = 10 * pow(2, 20) = 10 MiByte`` which is + 10 * 1024 * 1024 Bytes. + * ``KVM_STATS_UNIT_SECONDS`` + It indicates that the statistics data is used to measure time/latency, in + the unit of nanosecond, microsecond, millisecond and second. The unit of the + data is determined by the ``exponent`` field in the descriptor. The + ``KVM_STATS_BASE_POW10`` flag is valid in this case.

For example, if + value is 200, ``exponent`` is 4, we can get the number of CPU clock cycles + by ``value * pow(10, exponent) = 200 * pow(10, 4) = 2000000``. + +Bits 8-11 of ``flags`` encode the base: + * ``KVM_STATS_BASE_POW10`` + The scale is based on power of 10.
