qmp: add filtering of statistics by name
Allow retrieving only a subset of statistics. This can be useful
for example in order to plot a subset of the statistics many times
a second: KVM publishes ~40 statistics for each vCPU on x86; retrieving
and serializing all of them would be useless.
Another use will be in HMP in the following patch; implementing the
filter in the backend is easy enough that it was deemed okay to make
this a public interface.
Example:
{ "execute": "query-stats",
"arguments": {
"target": "vcpu",
"vcpus": [ "/machine/unattached/device[2]",
"/machine/unattached/device[4]" ],
"providers": [
{ "provider": "kvm",
"names": [ "l1d_flush", "exits" ] } } }
{ "return": {
"vcpus": [
{ "path": "/machine/unattached/device[2]"
"providers": [
{ "provider": "kvm",
"stats": [ { "name": "l1d_flush", "value": 41213 },
{ "name": "exits", "value": 74291 } ] } ] },
{ "path": "/machine/unattached/device[4]"
"providers": [
{ "provider": "kvm",
"stats": [ { "name": "l1d_flush", "value": 16132 },
{ "name": "exits", "value": 57922 } ] } ] } ] } }
