2014-06-09trace: Multi-backend tracingLluís Vilanova
Adds support to compile QEMU with multiple tracing backends at the same time. For example, you can compile QEMU with: $ ./configure --enable-trace-backends=ftrace,dtrace Where 'ftrace' can be handy for having an in-flight record of events, and 'dtrace' can be later used to extract more information from the system. This patch allows having both available without recompiling QEMU. Signed-off-by: Lluís Vilanova <vilanova@ac.upc.edu> Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com>
2013-06-14build: do not use TARGET_ARCHPaolo Bonzini
TARGET_ARCH is generally wrong to use, there are better variables provided in config-target.mak. The right one is usually TARGET_NAME (previously TARGET_ARCH2), but for bsd-user we can also use TARGET_ABI_DIR for consistency with linux-user.

2013-03-28trace: [tracetool] Explicitly identify public backendsLluís Vilanova
Public backends are those printed by "--list-backends" and thus considered valid by the configure script. Signed-off-by: Lluís Vilanova <vilanova@ac.upc.edu> Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com>
2012-05-01tracetool: use Python 2.4-compatible exception handling syntaxStefan Hajnoczi
The newer "except <exception-type> as <exception>:" syntax is not supported by Python 2.4, we need to use "except <exception-type>, <exception>:". Tested all trace backends with Python 2.4.

2012-04-18tracetool: Rewrite infrastructure as python modulesLluís Vilanova
The tracetool script is written in shell and has hit several portability problems due to shell quirks or external tools across host platforms. Additionally the amount of string processing and lack of real data structures makes it tough to implement code generator backends for tracers that are more complex. This patch replaces the shell version of tracetool with a Python version. The new tracetool design is: scripts/tracetool.py - top-level script scripts/tracetool/backend/ - tracer backends live here (simple, ust) scripts/tracetool/format/ - output formats live here (.c, .h) There is common code for trace-events definition parsing so that backends can focus on generating code rather than parsing input. Support for all existing backends (nop, stderr, simple, ust, and dtrace) is added back in follow-up patches.
