2016-10-12trace: rename _read_events to read_eventsDaniel P. Berrange
The _read_events method is used by callers outside of its module, so should be a public method, not private.

2016-10-12trace: emit name <-> ID mapping in simpletrace headerDaniel P. Berrange
Currently simpletrace assumes that events are given IDs starting from 0, based on the order in which they appear in the trace-events file, with no gaps. When the trace-events file is split up, this assumption becomes problematic. To deal with this, extend the simpletrace format so that it outputs a table of event name <-> ID mappings. That will allow QEMU to assign arbitrary IDs to events without breaking simpletrace parsing. The v3 simple trace format was FILE HEADER EVENT TRACE RECORD 0 EVENT TRACE RECORD 1 ... EVENT TRACE RECORD N The v4 simple trace format is now FILE HEADER EVENT MAPPING RECORD 0 EVENT MAPPING RECORD 1 ... EVENT MAPPING RECORD M EVENT TRACE RECORD RECORD 0 EVENT TRACE RECORD RECORD 1 ... EVENT TRACE RECORD N Although this shows all the mapping records being emitted upfront, this is not required by the format. While the main simpletrace backend will emit all mappings at startup, the systemtap simpletrace.stp script will emit the mappings at first use. eg FILE HEADER ... EVENT MAPPING RECORD 0 EVENT TRACE RECORD RECORD 0 EVENT TRACE RECORD RECORD 1 EVENT MAPPING RECORD 1 EVENT TRACE RECORD RECORD 2 ... EVENT TRACE RECORD N This is more space efficient given that most trace records only include a subset of events. In modifying the systemtap simpletrace code, a 'begin' probe was added to emit the trace event header, so you no longer need to add '--no-header' when running simpletrace.py for systemtap generated trace files.

2014-08-12simpletrace: add simpletrace.py --no-header optionStefan Hajnoczi
It can be useful to read simpletrace files that have no header. For example, a ring buffer may not have a header record but can still be processed if the user is sure the file format version is compatible. $ scripts/simpletrace.py --no-header trace-events trace-file Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com>
2014-06-09simpletrace: add support for trace record pid fieldStefan Hajnoczi
Extract the pid field from the trace record and print it. Change the trace record tuple from: (event_num, timestamp, arg1, ..., arg6) to: (event_num, timestamp, pid, arg1, ..., arg6) Trace event methods now support 3 prototypes: 1. <event-name>(arg1, arg2, arg3) 2. <event-name>(timestamp, arg1, arg2, arg3) 3. <event-name>(timestamp, pid, arg1, arg2, arg3) Existing script continue to work without changes, they only know about prototypes 1 and 2.

2011-09-01simpletrace: fix process() argument countStefan Hajnoczi
The simpletrace.process() function invokes analyzer methods with the wrong number of arguments if a timestamp should be included. This patch fixes the issue so that trace analysis scripts can make use of timestamps. Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2011-03-07simpletrace: Thread-safe tracingStefan Hajnoczi
Trace events outside the global mutex cannot be used with the simple trace backend since it is not thread-safe. There is no check to prevent them being enabled so people sometimes learn this the hard way. This patch restructures the simple trace backend with a ring buffer suitable for multiple concurrent writers. A writeout thread empties the trace buffer when threshold fill levels are reached. Should the writeout thread be unable to keep up with trace generation, records will simply be dropped. Each time events are dropped a special record is written to the trace file indicating how many events were dropped. The event ID is 0xfffffffffffffffe and its signature is dropped(uint32_t count).

2011-03-06simpletrace: Make simpletrace.py a Python moduleStefan Hajnoczi
The simpletrace.py script pretty-prints a binary trace file. Most of the code can be reused by trace file analysis scripts, so turn it into a module. Here is an example script that uses the new simpletrace module: #!/usr/bin/env python # Print virtqueue elements that were never returned to the guest. import simpletrace class VirtqueueRequestTracker(simpletrace.Analyzer): def __init__(self): self.elems = set() def virtqueue_pop(self, vq, elem, in_num, out_num): self.elems.add(elem) def virtqueue_fill(self, vq, elem, length, idx): self.elems.remove(elem) def end(self): for elem in self.elems: print hex(elem) simpletrace.run(VirtqueueRequestTracker()) The simpletrace API is based around the Analyzer class. Users implement an analyzer subclass and add methods for trace events they want to process. A catchall() method is invoked for trace events which do not have dedicated methods. Finally, there are also begin() and end() methods like in sed that can be used to perform setup or print statistics at the end. A binary trace file is processed either with: simpletrace.run(analyzer) # uses command-line args or with: simpletrace.process('path/to/trace-events', 'path/to/trace-file', analyzer) Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Aurelien Jarno <aurelien@aurel32.net>
