2015-02-06trace: Print PID and time in stderr tracesDr. David Alan Gilbert
When debugging migration it's useful to know the PID of each trace message so you can figure out if it came from the source or the destination. Printing the time makes it easy to do latency measurements or timings between trace points.

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>

2014-02-19Modified the tracetool framework for LTTng 2.xMohamad Gebai
* A new format is required to generate definitions for ust tracepoints. Files ust_events_h.py and ust_events_c.py define common macros, while new function ust_events_h in events.py does the actual definition of each tracepoint. * ust.py generates the new interface for calling userspace tracepoints with LTTng 2.x, replacing trace_name(args) to tracepoint(name, args). * As explained in ust_events_c.py, -Wredundant-decls gives a warning when compiling with gcc 4.7 or older. This is specific to lttng-ust so for now use a pragma clause to avoid getting a warning.

2014-01-27trace: fix simple trace "disable" keywordStefan Hajnoczi
The trace-events "disable" keyword turns an event into a nop at compile-time. This is important for high-frequency events that can impact performance. The "disable" keyword is currently broken in the simple trace backend. This patch fixes the problem as follows: Trace events are identified by their TraceEventID number. When events are disabled there are two options for assigning TraceEventID numbers: 1. Skip disabled events and don't assign them a number. 2. Assign numbers for all events regardless of the disabled keyword. The simple trace backend and its binary file format uses approach #1. The tracetool infrastructure has been using approach #2 for a while. The result is that the numbers used in simple trace files do not correspond with TraceEventIDs. In trace/simple.c we assumed that they are identical and therefore emitted bogus numbers. This patch fixes the bug by using TraceEventID for trace_event_id() while sticking to approach #1 for simple trace file numbers. This preserves simple trace file format compatibility.

2013-05-03trace: Add ftrace tracing backendEiichi Tsukata
This patch adds a ftrace tracing backend which sends trace event to ftrace marker file. You can effectively compare qemu trace data and kernel(especially, kvm.ko when using KVM) trace data. The ftrace backend is restricted to Linux only. To try out the ftrace backend: $ ./configure --trace-backend=ftrace $ make if you use KVM, enable kvm events in ftrace: # sudo echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kvm/enable After running qemu by root user, you can get the trace: # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace Signed-off-by: Eiichi Tsukata <eiichi.tsukata.xh@hitachi.com> Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com>

2013-03-28trace: Provide a generic tracing event descriptorLluís Vilanova
Uses tracetool to generate a backend-independent tracing event description (struct TraceEvent). The values for such structure are generated with the non-public "events" backend ("events-c" frontend). The generation of the defines to check if an event is statically enabled is also moved to the "events" backend ("events-h" frontend).

Existing simpletrace backend allows to trace at max 6 args and does not support strings. This newer tracelog format gets rid of fixed size records and therefore allows to trace variable number of args including strings. Sample trace with strings: v9fs_version 0.000 tag=0xffff id=0x64 msize=0x2000 version=9P2000.L v9fs_version_return 6.705 tag=0xffff id=0x64 msize=0x2000 version=9P2000.L Signed-off-by: Harsh Prateek Bora <harsh@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

2012-04-18tracetool: handle DTrace keywords 'in', 'next', 'self'Stefan Hajnoczi
Language keywords cannot be used as argument names. The DTrace backend appends an underscore to the argument name in order to make the argument name legal. This patch adds 'in', 'next', and 'self' keywords to dtrace.py. Also drop the unnecessary argument name lstrip() call. The Arguments.build() method already ensures there is no space around argument names. Furthermore it is misleading to do the lstrip() *after* checking against keywords because the keyword check would not match if spaces were in the name.

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.
