Comment 2 David Hildenbrand 2018-01-02 12:45:54 EST

Already fixed upstream in the series "[PATCH v2 00/11] tools/kvm_stat: misc fixes". Patch is currently on kvm/queue.

commit 19e8e54f4309eaa438237aa1973fe40c331903d4
Author: Stefan Raspl <stefan.raspl@de.ibm.com>
Date:   Mon Dec 11 12:25:19 2017 +0100

    tools/kvm_stat: fix command line option '-g'
    
    Specifying a guest via '-g foo' always results in an error:
      $ kvm_stat -g foo
      Usage: kvm_stat [options]
    
      kvm_stat: error: Error while searching for guest "foo", use "-p" to
      specify a pid instead
    
    Reason is that Tui.get_pid_from_gname() is not static, as it is supposed
    to be.

Will backport next week, when I return from vacation.
