2024-02-28plugins: Use different helpers when reading registersAkihiko Odaki
This avoids optimizations incompatible when reading registers.

2023-02-02tcg: exclude non-memory effecting helpers from instrumentationEmilio Cota
There are actually a whole bunch of helpers that don't affect memory that we shouldn't instrument. They are helpfully identified by the TCG_CALL_NO_SIDE_EFFECTS flag which marks out lookup_tb_ptr as well as a lot of the maths helpers. To avoid the string compare we introduce a new flag for plugin internals so we skip that too.

2021-06-19accel/tcg: Add tcg call flags to plugins helpersRichard Henderson
As noted by qemu-plugins.h, plugins can neither read nor write guest registers. Tested-by: Philippe Mathieu-Daudé <f4bug@amsat.org> Reviewed-by: Philippe Mathieu-Daudé <f4bug@amsat.org> Signed-off-by: Richard Henderson <richard.henderson@linaro.org>
2021-06-19plugins: Drop tcg_flags from struct qemu_plugin_dyn_cbRichard Henderson
As noted by qemu-plugins.h, enum qemu_plugin_cb_flags is currently unused -- plugins can neither read nor write guest registers. Tested-by: Philippe Mathieu-Daudé <f4bug@amsat.org> Signed-off-by: Richard Henderson <richard.henderson@linaro.org>
2019-10-28plugin-gen: add module for TCG-related codeEmilio G. Cota
We first inject empty instrumentation from translator_loop. After translation, we go through the plugins to see what they want to register for, filling in the empty instrumentation. If if turns out that some instrumentation remains unused, we remove it. This approach supports the following features: - Inlining TCG code for simple operations. Note that we do not export TCG ops to plugins. Instead, we give them a C API to insert inlined ops. So far we only support adding an immediate to a u64, e.g. to count events. - "Direct" callbacks. These are callbacks that do not go via a helper. Instead, the helper is defined at run-time, so that the plugin code is directly called from TCG. This makes direct callbacks as efficient as possible; they are therefore used for very frequent events, e.g. memory callbacks. - Passing the host address to memory callbacks. Most of this is implemented in a later patch though. - Instrumentation of memory accesses performed from helpers. See the corresponding comment, as well as a later patch. Signed-off-by: Emilio G.
