2017-09-19Convert remaining error_report() to warn_report()Alistair Francis
In a previous patch (3dc6f8693694a649a9c83f1e2746565b47683923) we converted uses of error_report("warning:"... to use warn_report() instead. This was to help standardise on a single method of printing warnings to the user. There appears to have been some cases that slipped through in patch sets applied around the same time, this patch catches the few remaining cases. All of the warnings were changed using this command: find ./* -type f -exec sed -i \ 's|error_report(".*warning[,:] |warn_report("|Ig' {} + Indentation fixed up manually afterwards. Two messages were manually fixed up as well.

2017-07-17trace: Allocate cpu->trace_dstate in placeLluís Vilanova
There's little point in dynamically allocating the bitmap if we know at compile-time the max number of events we want to support. Thus, make room in the struct for the bitmap, which will make things easier later: this paves the way for upcoming changes, in which we'll use a u32 to fully capture cpu->trace_dstate. This change also increases performance by saving a dereference and improving locality--note that this is important since upcoming work makes reading this bitmap fairly common.

Introduce rules in the top level Makefile that are able to generate trace.[ch] files in every subdirectory which has a trace-events file. The top level directory is handled specially, so instead of creating trace.h, it creates trace-root.h.

2016-10-12trace: dynamically allocate trace_dstate in CPUStateDaniel P. Berrange
The CPUState struct has a bitmap tracking which VCPU events are currently active. This is indexed based on the event ID values, and sized according the maximum TraceEventVCPUID enum value. When we start dynamically assigning IDs at runtime, we can't statically declare a bitmap without making an assumption about the max event count. This problem can be solved by dynamically allocating the per-CPU dstate bitmap.

2016-10-12trace: remove the TraceEventID and TraceEventVCPUID enumsDaniel P. Berrange
The TraceEventID and TraceEventVCPUID enums constants are no longer actually used for anything critical. The TRACE_EVENT_COUNT limit is used to determine the size of the TraceEvents array, and can be removed if we just NULL terminate the array instead. The TRACE_VCPU_EVENT_COUNT limit is used as a magic value for marking non-vCPU events, and also for declaring the size of the trace dstate mask in the CPUState struct. The former usage can be replaced by a dedicated constant TRACE_EVENT_VCPU_NONE, defined as (uint32_t)-1. For the latter usage, we can simply define a constant for the number of VCPUs, avoiding the need for the full enum. The only other usages of the enum values can be replaced by accesing the id/vcpu_id fields via the named TraceEvent structs.

Currently methods which want to iterate over trace events, do so using the trace_event_count() and trace_event_id() methods. This leaks the concept of a single ID enum to the callers. There is an alternative trace_event_pattern() method which can be used in an iteration context, but its design is stateless, so is not easy to expand it in the future.
