2013-05-03trace: Add ftrace tracing backendEiichi Tsukata
This patch adds a ftrace tracing backend which sends trace event to ftrace marker file. You can effectively compare qemu trace data and kernel(especially, kvm.ko when using KVM) trace data. The ftrace backend is restricted to Linux only. To try out the ftrace backend: $ ./configure --trace-backend=ftrace $ make if you use KVM, enable kvm events in ftrace: # sudo echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kvm/enable After running qemu by root user, you can get the trace: # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace Signed-off-by: Eiichi Tsukata <eiichi.tsukata.xh@hitachi.com> Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com>
2013-03-28trace: rebuild generated-events.o when configuration changesStefan Hajnoczi
Make sure to rebuild generated-events.o when ./configure options change. This prevents linker errors when a stale generated-events.o gets linked with code compiled against fresh headers. For example, try building with ./configure --enable-trace-backend=stderr followed by ./configure --enable-trace-backend=dtrace. Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com>

2013-03-28trace: Provide a generic tracing event descriptorLluís Vilanova
Uses tracetool to generate a backend-independent tracing event description (struct TraceEvent). The values for such structure are generated with the non-public "events" backend ("events-c" frontend). The generation of the defines to check if an event is statically enabled is also moved to the "events" backend ("events-h" frontend).

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: 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.

2012-07-19monitor: 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."

2011-12-20g_thread_init users: don't call it if glib >= 2.31Alon Levy
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).
