2013-03-28trace: Provide a detailed event control interfaceLluís Vilanova
This interface decouples event obtaining from interaction. Events can be obtained through three different methods: * identifier * name * simple wildcard pattern Signed-off-by: Lluís Vilanova <vilanova@ac.upc.edu> Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com>
2011-09-01trace: add "-trace events" argument to control initial stateLluís
The "-trace events" argument can be used to provide a file with a list of trace event names that will be enabled prior to starting execution, thus providing early tracing. This saves the user from manually toggling event states through the monitor interface or whichever backend-specific interface. Signed-off-by: Lluís Vilanova <vilanova@ac.upc.edu>
2011-09-01trace: separate trace event control and query routines from the simple backendLluís
Generalize the 'st_print_trace_events' and 'st_change_trace_event_state' into backend-specific 'trace_print_events' and 'trace_event_set_state' (respectively) in the "trace/control.h" file. Signed-off-by: Lluís Vilanova <vilanova@ac.upc.edu>
2011-09-01trace: avoid conditional code compilation during option parsingLluís
A default implementation for backend-specific routines is provided in "trace/default.c", which backends can override by setting "trace_default=no" in "configure". Signed-off-by: Lluís Vilanova <vilanova@ac.upc.edu>
