VMware mks-guest-stats mechanism allows the collection of performance stats from
guest userland GL contexts, as well as from vmwgfx kernelspace, via a set of sw-
defined performance counters. The userspace performance counters are (de)registerd
with vmware-vmx-stats hypervisor via new iocts. The vmwgfx kernelspace counters
are controlled at build-time via a new config DRM_VMWGFX_MKSSTATS.
* Add vmw_mksstat_{add|remove|reset}_ioctl controlling the tracking of
mks-guest-stats in guest winsys contexts
* Add DRM_VMWGFX_MKSSTATS config to drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/Kconfig controlling
the instrumentation of vmwgfx for kernelspace mks-guest-stats counters
* Instrument vmwgfx vmw_execbuf_ioctl to collect mks-guest-stats according to
DRM_VMWGFX_MKSSTATS

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
