Description

Update either the kext logging daemon (see #637) or whatever long running process will be used to support auto-mount (#646) to also capture the perf statistics (if the kext is configured to generate them).

Currently these are only captured by prjfs-log.

(see #637 for additional background information)

Research direction

Read the background in #637 and the auto-mount work in #646, then inspect how prjfs-log currently captures kext performance statistics. Compare the long-running daemon options described there and determine how the selected process should capture statistics when the kext is configured to generate them.
