Subject: [RFC 1/3] x86: KVM: stats: Add a stat to report status of APICv inhibition
Date: Thu, 15 Feb 2024 16:01:34 +0000

The inhibition status of APICv can currently be checked using the
'kvm_apicv_inhibit_changed' tracepoint, but this is not accessible if
tracefs is not available (e.g. kernel lockdown, non-root user). Export
inhibition status as a binary stat that can be monitored from userspace
without elevated privileges.
