2010-09-09trace: Support for dynamically enabling/disabling trace eventsPrerna Saxena
This patch adds support for dynamically enabling/disabling of trace events. This is done by internally maintaining each trace event's state, and permitting logging of data from a trace event only if it is in an 'active' state. Monitor commands added : 1) info trace-events : to view all available trace events and their state. 2) trace-event NAME on|off : to enable/disable data logging from a given trace event. Eg, trace-event paio_submit off disables logging of data when paio_submit is hit. By default, all trace-events are disabled. One can enable desired trace-events via the monitor.

This patch abstracts the monitor printing interface so there is no direct coupling between simpletrace and the monitor. Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2010-09-09trace: Add simple built-in tracing backendStefan Hajnoczi
This patch adds a simple tracer which produces binary trace files. To try out the simple backend: $ ./configure --trace-backend=simple $ make After running QEMU you can pretty-print the trace: $ ./simpletrace.py trace-events trace.log The output of simpletrace.py looks like this: qemu_realloc 0.699 ptr=0x24363f0 size=0x3 newptr=0x24363f0 qemu_free 0.768 ptr=0x24363f0 ^ ^---- timestamp delta (us) |____ trace event name Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@linux.vnet.ibm.com> trace: Make trace record fields 64-bit Explicitly use 64-bit fields in trace records so that timestamps and magic numbers work for 32-bit host builds.
