tools/kvm_stat: use canonical ftrace path

The canonical location for the tracefs filesystem is at /sys/kernel/tracing.

But, from Documentation/trace/ftrace.rst:

Before 4.1, all ftrace tracing control files were within the debugfs
file system, which is typically located at /sys/kernel/debug/tracing.
For backward compatibility, when mounting the debugfs file system,
the tracefs file system will be automatically mounted at:

/sys/kernel/debug/tracing

A comment in kvm_stat still refers to this older debugfs path, so let's
update it to avoid confusion.

tools/kvm_stat: fix incorrect detection of debugfs

The first field in /proc/mounts can be influenced by unprivileged users
through the widespread `fusermount` setuid-root program. Example:

```
user$ mkdir ~/mydebugfs
user$ export _FUSE_COMMFD=0
user$ fusermount ~/mydebugfs -ononempty,fsname=debugfs
user$ grep debugfs /proc/mounts
debugfs /home/user/mydebugfs fuse rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=1000,group_id=100 0 0
```

If there is no debugfs already mounted in the system then this can be
used by unprivileged users to trick kvm_stat into using a user
controlled file system location for obtaining KVM statistics.
Even though the root user is not allowed to access non-root FUSE mounts
for security reasons, the unprivileged user can unmount the FUSE mount
before kvm_stat uses the mounted path. If it wins the race, kvm_stat
will read from the location where the FUSE mount resided.

Note that the files in debugfs are only opened for reading, so the
attacker can cause very large data to be read in by kvm_stat, or fake
data to be processed, but there should be no viable way to turn this
into a privilege escalation.

The fix is simply to use the file system type field instead. Whitespace
in the mount path is escaped in /proc/mounts thus no further safety
measures in the parsing should be necessary to make this correct.

tools/kvm_stat: Exempt time-based counters

The new counters halt_poll_success_ns and halt_poll_fail_ns do not count
events. Instead they provide a time, and mess up our statistics. Therefore,
we should exclude them.
Removal is currently implemented with an exempt list. If more counters like
these appear, we can think about a more general rule like excluding all
fields name "*_ns", in case that's a standing convention.

tools/kvm_stat: Add command line switch '-L' to log to file

To integrate with logrotate, we have a signal handler that will re-open
the logfile.
Assuming we have a systemd unit file with
ExecStart=kvm_stat -dtc -s 10 -L /var/log/kvm_stat.csv
ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID
and a logrotate config featuring
postrotate
/bin/systemctl reload kvm_stat.service
endscript
Then the overall flow will look like this:
(1) systemd starts kvm_stat, logging to A.
(2) At some point, logrotate runs, moving A to B.
kvm_stat continues to write to B at this point.
(3) After rotating, logrotate restarts the kvm_stat unit via systemctl.
(4) The kvm_stat unit sends a SIGHUP to kvm_stat, finally making it
switch over to writing to A again.
Note that in order to keep the structure of the cvs output in tact, we
make sure to, in contrast to the standard log format, only write the
header once at the beginning of a file. This implies that the header is
suppressed when appending to an existing file. Unlike with the standard
format, where we append to an existing file by starting out with a
header.

tools/kvm_stat: Fix kvm_exit filter name

The filter name is fixed to "exit_reason" for some kvm_exit events, no
matter what architect we have. Actually, the filter name ("exit_reason")
is only applicable to x86, meaning it's broken on other architects
including aarch64.

This fixes the issue by providing various kvm_exit filter names, depending
on architect we're on. Afterwards, the variable filter name is picked and
applied through ioctl(fd, SET_FILTER).

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.

tools/kvm_stat: separate drilldown and fields filtering

Drilldown (i.e. toggle display of child trace events) was implemented by
overriding the fields filter. This resulted in inconsistencies: E.g. when
drilldown was not active, adding a filter that also matches child trace
events would not only filter fields according to the filter, but also add
in the child trace events matching the filter. E.g. on x86, setting
'kvm_userspace_exit' as the fields filter after startup would result in
display of kvm_userspace_exit(DCR), although that wasn't previously
present - not exactly what one would expect from a filter.
This patch addresses the issue by keeping drilldown and fields filter
separate. While at it, we also fix a PEP8 issue by adding a blank line
at one place (since we're in the area...).
We implement this by adding a framework that also allows to define a
taxonomy among the debugfs events to identify child trace events. I.e.
drilldown using 'x' can now also work with debugfs. A respective parent-
child relationship is only known for S390 at the moment, but could be
added adjusting other platforms' ARCH.dbg_is_child() methods
accordingly.

/sys/kernel/debug - which is likely, but not guaranteed. This is addressed
by checking /proc/mounts for the actual location.
Furthermore, when debugfs was mounted, but the kvm module not loaded, a
misleading error pointing towards debugfs not present was given.
To reproduce,
(a) run kvm_stat with debugfs mounted at a place different from
/sys/kernel/debug
(b) run kvm_stat with debugfs mounted but kvm module not loaded

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.

but the average was rounded down to zero ('0' in 'Current column), for
the folks who appreciate the difference.
Finally: Only skip events which were not reported at all yet, instead of
events that don't have a value in the current interval.

* print a message indicating to the user that we're busy while the
noticeable delay induced by updating all of the stats objects takes place
* update the statistics ASAP (i.e. after 0.25s instead of 3s) to be
consistent with behavior on startup
To do so, we split the Tui's refresh() method to allow for drawing header
and stats separately, and trigger a header refresh whenever we are about
to do something that takes a while - like updating filters.

tools/kvm_stat: fix trace setup glitch on field updates in TracepointProvider

Updating the fields of the TracepointProvider does not propagate changes to the
tracepoints. This shows when a pid filter is enabled, whereby subsequent
extensions of the fields of the Tracepoint provider (e.g. by toggling
drilldown) will not modify the tracepoints as required.
To reproduce, select a specific process via interactive command 'p', and
enable drilldown via 'x' - none of the fields with the braces will appear
although they should.
The fix will always leave all available fields in the TracepointProvider
enabled.

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.

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.
