+  struct kvm_stats_info {
+        __u32 num_stats;

+
+This ioctl is used to get the information about VM or vCPU statistics data.
+The number of statistics data would be returned in field num_stats in
+struct kvm_stats_info. This ioctl only needs to be called once on running
+VMs on the same architecture.

+4.132 KVM_STATS_GET_NAMES
+-------------------------
+
+:Capability: KVM_CAP_STATS_BINARY_FORM
+:Architectures: all
+:Type: vm ioctl, vcpu ioctl
+:Parameters: struct kvm_stats_names (in/out)
+:Returns: 0 on success, < 0 on error

+
+  #define KVM_STATS_NAME_LEN		32
+  struct kvm_stats_names {
+	__u32 size;
+	__u8  names[0];
+  };
+
+This ioctl is used to get the string names of all the statistics data for VM
+or vCPU. Users must use KVM_STATS_GET_INFO to find the number of statistics.
+They must allocate a buffer of the size num_stats * KVM_STATS_NAME_LEN
+immediately following struct kvm_stats_names. The size field of kvm_stats_name
+must contain the buffer size as an input.
+The buffer can be treated like a string array, each name string is null-padded
+to a size of KVM_STATS_NAME_LEN;
+This ioclt only needs to be called once on running VMs on the same architecture.

+4.133 KVM_STATS_GET_DATA
+-------------------------

+:Architectures: all
+:Type: vm ioctl, vcpu ioctl
+:Parameters: struct kvm_stats_data (in/out)
+:Returns: 0 on success, < 0 on error
+
+::
+
+  struct kvm_stats_data {
+	__u32 size;
+	__u64 data[0];
+  };
+
+This ioctl is used to get the aggregated statistics data for VM or vCPU.
+Users must use KVM_STATS_GET_INFO to find the number of statistics.
+They must allocate a buffer of the appropriate size num_stats * sizeof(data[0])
+immediately following struct kvm_stats_data. The size field of kvm_stats_data
+must contain the buffer size as an input.
+The data buffer 1-1 maps to name strings buffer in sequential order.
+This ioctl is usually called periodically to pull statistics data.
