2011-03-15simpletrace: Move st_init() error reportingStefan Hajnoczi1-3/+3
User emulator builds do not have error_report() so it should not be used by simpletrace.c. In fact, error reporting inside simpletrace.c is inappropriate and should be done by the caller instead. This patch moves st_init() error reporting out to its caller, vl.c:main().

2011-03-07simpletrace: Thread-safe tracingStefan Hajnoczi1-0/+8
Trace events outside the global mutex cannot be used with the simple trace backend since it is not thread-safe. There is no check to prevent them being enabled so people sometimes learn this the hard way. This patch restructures the simple trace backend with a ring buffer suitable for multiple concurrent writers. A writeout thread empties the trace buffer when threshold fill levels are reached. Should the writeout thread be unable to keep up with trace generation, records will simply be dropped. Each time events are dropped a special record is written to the trace file indicating how many events were dropped. The event ID is 0xfffffffffffffffe and its signature is dropped(uint32_t count).

2010-10-13trace: print a warning if user tries to enable an unknown trace eventBlue Swirl1-1/+1
There was no warning if a bad trace event name was given to 'trace-event' command, thus the user could think that the command was successful even if this was not the case. Print a warning if the user tries to enable a trace event which is not known. Acked-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Blue Swirl <blauwirbel@gmail.com>
2010-09-09trace: Add trace-file command to open/close/flush trace fileStefan Hajnoczi1-0/+4
This patch adds the trace-file command: trace-file [on|off|flush] Open, close, or flush the trace file. If no argument is given, the status of the trace file is displayed. The trace file is turned on by default but is only written out when the trace buffer becomes full. The flush operation can be used to force write out at any time. Turning off the trace file does not change the state of trace events; tracing will continue to the trace buffer. When the trace file is off, use "info trace" to display the contents of the trace buffer in memory. Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@linux.vnet.ibm.com> This commit also contains the trace-file sub-command from the following commit: commit 5ce8d1a957afae2c52ad748944ce72848ccf57bd Author: Prerna Saxena <prerna@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Date: Wed Aug 4 16:23:54 2010 +0530 trace: Add options to specify trace file name at startup and runtime This patch adds an optional command line switch '-trace' to specify the filename to write traces to, when qemu starts. Eg, If compiled with the 'simple' trace backend, [temp@system]$ qemu -trace FILENAME IMAGE Allows the binary traces to be written to FILENAME instead of the option set at config-time. Also, this adds monitor sub-command 'set' to trace-file commands to dynamically change trace log file at runtime. Eg, (qemu)trace-file set FILENAME This allows one to set trace outputs to FILENAME from the default specified at startup.

2010-09-09trace: Support for dynamically enabling/disabling trace eventsPrerna Saxena1-0/+10
This patch adds support for dynamically enabling/disabling of trace events. This is done by internally maintaining each trace event's state, and permitting logging of data from a trace event only if it is in an 'active' state. Monitor commands added : 1) info trace-events : to view all available trace events and their state. 2) trace-event NAME on|off : to enable/disable data logging from a given trace event. Eg, trace-event paio_submit off disables logging of data when paio_submit is hit. By default, all trace-events are disabled. One can enable desired trace-events via the monitor.

2010-09-09trace: Add simple built-in tracing backendStefan Hajnoczi1-0/+26
This patch adds a simple tracer which produces binary trace files. To try out the simple backend: $ ./configure --trace-backend=simple $ make After running QEMU you can pretty-print the trace: $ ./simpletrace.py trace-events trace.log The output of simpletrace.py looks like this: qemu_realloc 0.699 ptr=0x24363f0 size=0x3 newptr=0x24363f0 qemu_free 0.768 ptr=0x24363f0 ^ ^---- timestamp delta (us) |____ trace event name Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@linux.vnet.ibm.com> trace: Make trace record fields 64-bit Explicitly use 64-bit fields in trace records so that timestamps and magic numbers work for 32-bit host builds.
