I meant rename the existing arch-specific struct kvm_{vcpu,vm}_stat to
kvm_{vcpu,vm}_stat_arch and rename struct kvm_{vcpu,vm}_stat_common to
kvm_{vcpu,vm}_stat.
So in include/linux/kvm_types.h you'd have:
struct kvm_vm_stat {
ulong remote_tlb_flush;
struct kvm_vm_stat_arch arch;
};
struct kvm_vcpu_stat {
u64 halt_successful_poll;
u64 halt_attempted_poll;
u64 halt_poll_invalid;
u64 halt_wakeup;
u64 halt_poll_success_ns;
u64 halt_poll_fail_ns;
struct kvm_vcpu_stat_arch arch;
};
And in arch/x86/include/asm/kvm_host.h you'd have:
struct kvm_vm_stat_arch {
ulong mmu_shadow_zapped;
...
};
struct kvm_vcpu_stat_arch {
u64 pf_fixed;
u64 pf_guest;
u64 tlb_flush;
...
};
You still have the same benefits of having an arch-neutral place to
store stats but the struct layout more closely resembles struct
kvm_vcpu and struct kvm.
