2014-08-12trace: add tracetool simpletrace_stap formatStefan Hajnoczi
This new tracetool "format" generates a SystemTap .stp file that outputs simpletrace binary trace data. In contrast to simpletrace or ftrace, SystemTap does not define its own trace format. All output from SystemTap is generated by .stp files. This patch lets us generate a .stp file that outputs in the simpletrace binary format. This makes it possible to reuse simpletrace.py to analyze traces recorded using SystemTap. The simpletrace binary format is especially useful for long-running traces like flight-recorder mode where string formatting can be expensive. Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com>

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>

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.
