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>

2011-01-29New trace-event backend: stderrFabien Chouteau
This backend sends trace events to standard error output during the emulation. Also add a "--list-backends" option to tracetool, so configure script can display the list of available backends.

2011-01-23gdbstub-xml: avoid a warning from sparseBlue Swirl
Include a header to get the declaration for xml_builtin. This avoids a warning from sparse: CC m68k-softmmu/gdbstub-xml.o gdbstub-xml.c:244:12: warning: symbol 'xml_builtin' was not declared. Should it be static? Signed-off-by: Blue Swirl <blauwirbel@gmail.com>
