2014-06-09trace: Multi-backend tracingLluís Vilanova
Adds support to compile QEMU with multiple tracing backends at the same time. For example, you can compile QEMU with: $ ./configure --enable-trace-backends=ftrace,dtrace Where 'ftrace' can be handy for having an in-flight record of events, and 'dtrace' can be later used to extract more information from the system. This patch allows having both available without recompiling QEMU. Signed-off-by: Lluís Vilanova <vilanova@ac.upc.edu> Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com>
2014-06-09trace: add pid field to simpletrace recordStefan Hajnoczi
It is useful to know the QEMU process ID when working with traces from multiple VMs. Although the trace filename may contain the pid, tools that aggregate traces or even trace globally need somewhere to record the pid. There is a reserved field in the trace event header struct that we can use. It is not necessary to bump the simpletrace file format version number because it has already been incremented for the QEMU 2.1 release cycle in commit "trace: [simple] Bump up log version number".

2014-03-25osdep: initialize glib threads in all QEMU toolsStefan Hajnoczi
glib versions prior to 2.31.0 require an explicit g_thread_init() call to enable multi-threading. Failure to initialize threading causes glib to take single-threaded code paths without synchronization. For example, the g_slice allocator will crash due to race conditions. Fix this for all QEMU tool programs (qemu-nbd, qemu-io, qemu-img) by moving the g_thread_init() call from vl.c:main() into a new osdep.c:thread_init() constructor function. thread_init() has __attribute__((constructor)) and is automatically invoked by the runtime during startup. We can now drop the "simple" trace backend's g_thread_init() call since thread_init() already called it. Note that we must keep coroutine-gthread.c's g_thread_init() call which is located in a constructor function. There is no guarantee for constructor function ordering so thread_init() may only be called later.

2014-01-27trace: add glib 2.32+ static GMutex supportStefan Hajnoczi
The GStaticMutex API was deprecated in glib 2.32. We cannot switch over to GMutex unconditionally since we would drop support for older glib versions. But the deprecated API warnings during build are annoying so use static GMutex when possible. Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com>

2013-02-12trace: deal with deprecated glib thread functionsStefan Hajnoczi
g_thread_create() was deprecated in favor of g_thread_new() and g_cond_new() was deprecated in favor of GCond initialization. If the host has glib 2.31 or newer, avoid using the deprecated functions. This patch solves compiler warnings that are generated when glib's deprecated functions are used.

2013-02-12trace: use glib atomic int typesStefan Hajnoczi
Juan reported that RHEL 6.4 hosts give compiler warnings because we use unsigned int while glib prototypes use volatile gint in trace/simple.c. trace/simple.c:223: error: pointer targets in passing argument 1 of 'g_atomic_int_compare_and_exchange' differ in signedness These variables are only accessed with glib atomic int functions so let's play it by the book and use volatile gint.

2013-02-05trace: Direct access of atomics is verboten, use the APIMarkus Armbruster
The GLib Reference Manual says: It is very important that all accesses to a particular integer or pointer be performed using only this API and that different sizes of operation are not mixed or used on overlapping memory regions.

2013-02-05trace: Fix simple trace dropped event record for big endianMarkus Armbruster
We use atomic operations to keep track of dropped events. Inconveniently, GLib supports only int and void * atomics, but the counter dropped_events is uint64_t. Can't stop commit 62bab732: a quick (gint *)&dropped_events bludgeons the compiler into submission. That cast is okay only when int is exactly 64 bits wide, which it commonly isn't. If int is even wider, we clobber whatever follows dropped_events. Not worth worrying about, as none of the machines that interest us have such morbidly obese ints. That leaves the common case: int narrower than 64 bits. Harmless on little endian hosts: we just don't access the most significant bits of dropped_events. They remain zero. On big endian hosts, we use only the most significant bits of dropped_events as counter. The least significant bits remain zero. However, we write out the full value, which is the correct counter shifted left a bunch of places. Fix by changing the variables involved to int. There's another, equally suspicious-looking (gint *)&trace_idx argument to g_atomic_int_compare_and_exchange(), but that one casts unsigned *, so it's okay. But it's also superfluous, because GLib's atomic int operations work just fine for unsigned. Drop it.

2012-07-19Simpletrace v2: Support multiple arguments, strings.Harsh Prateek Bora
Existing simpletrace backend allows to trace at max 6 args and does not support strings. This newer tracelog format gets rid of fixed size records and therefore allows to trace variable number of args including strings. Sample trace with strings: v9fs_version 0.000 tag=0xffff id=0x64 msize=0x2000 version=9P2000.L v9fs_version_return 6.705 tag=0xffff id=0x64 msize=0x2000 version=9P2000.L Signed-off-by: Harsh Prateek Bora <harsh@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2012-07-19monitor: remove unused do_info_traceHarsh Prateek Bora
Going forward with simpletrace v2 variable size trace records, we cannot have a generic function to print trace event info and therefore this interface becomes invalid. As per Stefan Hajnoczi: "This command is only available from the human monitor. It's not very useful because it historically hasn't been able to pretty-print events or show them in the right order (we use a ringbuffer but it prints them out from index 0). Therefore, I don't think we're under any obligation to keep this command around. No one has complained about it's limitations - I think this is a sign that no one has used it. I'd be okay with a patch that removes it."

since commit f9b29ca03 included in release 2.31 (docs below say 2.32 but that is not correct) and onwards g_thread_init is deprecated and calling it is not required: http://developer.gnome.org/glib/unstable/glib-Deprecated-Thread-APIs.html#g-thread-init g_thread_init has been deprecated since version 2.32 and should not be used in newly-written code. This function is no longer necessary. The GLib threading system is automatically initialized at the start of your program. Fixes bulid failure when warnings are treated as errors on fedora 17. I only tested the change to vl.c, and copy pasted to the two other locations (couldn't decide if a wrapper for calling g_thread_init is uglier).
