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."

2012-07-19trace: added ability to comment out events in the listAlexey Kardashevskiy
It is convenient for debug to be able to switch on/off some events easily. The only possibility now is to remove event name from the file completely and type it again when we want it back. The patch adds '#' symbol handling as a comment specifier. Signed-off-by: Alexey Kardashevskiy <aik@ozlabs.ru> Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

2012-03-12trace: make trace_thread_create() use its function argJun Koi
This patch makes trace_thread_create() to use its function arg to initialize thread. The other choice is to make this a function to use void arg, but i prefer this way. Signed-off-by: Jun Koi <junkoi2004@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
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).

2011-11-01trace: Add wildcard trace event supportMark Wu
A basic wildcard matching is supported in both the monitor command "trace-event" and the events list file. That means you can enable/disable the events having a common prefix in a batch. For example, virtio-blk trace events could be enabled using: trace-event virtio_blk_* on Signed-off-by: Mark Wu <wudxw@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2011-09-21trace: use binary file open mode in simpletraceStefan Hajnoczi
For Windows portability the simple trace backend must use the 'b' file open mode. This prevents the stdio library from mangling 0x0a/0x0d newline characters. Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2011-09-21trace: portable simple trace backend using glibStefan Hajnoczi
Convert the simple trace backend to glib so that it works under Windows. We cannot use pthread directly but glib provides portable abstractions. Also use glib atomics instead of newish gcc builtins which may not be supported on Windows toolchains. Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2011-09-01trace: [stderr] add support for dynamically enabling/disabling eventsLluís
Uses the generic interface provided in "trace/control.h" in order to provide a programmatic interface as well as command line and monitor controls. Signed-off-by: Fabien Chouteau <chouteau@adacore.com> Signed-off-by: Lluís Vilanova <vilanova@ac.upc.edu>
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>
