Subject: [PATCH 11/14] KVM: stats: Add stat to detect if vcpu is currently blocking
Date: Fri, 24 Sep 2021 17:55:25 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210925005528.1145584-12-seanjc@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210925005528.1145584-1-seanjc@google.com>

From: Jing Zhang <jingzhangos@google.com>

Add a "blocking" stat that userspace can use to detect the case where a
vCPU is not being run because of a vCPU/guest action, e.g. HLT or WFS on
x86, WFI on arm64, etc...  Current guest/host/halt stats don't show this
well, e.g. if a guest halts for a long period of time then the vCPU could
appear pathologically blocked due to a host condition, when in reality the
vCPU has been put into a not-runnable state by the guest.
