	This patch adds the trace-file command: trace-file [on\|off\|flush] Open, close, or flush the trace file. If no argument is given, the status of the trace file is displayed. The trace file is turned on by default but is only written out when the trace buffer becomes full. The flush operation can be used to force write out at any time. Turning off the trace file does not change the state of trace events; tracing will continue to the trace buffer. When the trace file is off, use "info trace" to display the contents of the trace buffer in memory.

Eg, If compiled with the 'simple' trace backend, [temp@system]$ qemu -trace FILENAME IMAGE Allows the binary traces to be written to FILENAME instead of the option set at config-time. Also, this adds monitor sub-command 'set' to trace-file commands to dynamically change trace log file at runtime. Eg, (qemu)trace-file set FILENAME This allows one to set trace outputs to FILENAME from the default specified at startup.

2010-09-09	trace: Support for dynamically enabling/disabling trace events	Prerna 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>
2010-09-09	trace: Add simple built-in tracing backend	Stefan 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.
