2014-06-09trace: Replace fprintf with error_report and print locationAlexey Kardashevskiy1-13/+18
This replaces fprintf(stderr) with error_report. This moves local variables to the beginning of the function to comply with QEMU's coding style.

2014-06-09trace: Multi-backend tracingLluís Vilanova1-2/+47
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: Replace error with warning if event is not definedAlexey Kardashevskiy1-7/+7
At the moment QEMU exits if trace point is not defined which makes a developer life harder if he has to switch between branches with different traces implemented. This replaces error+exit wit WARNING if the tracepoint does not exist or not traceable. Signed-off-by: Alexey Kardashevskiy <aik@ozlabs.ru> Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com>
2013-03-28trace: Provide a detailed event control interfaceLluís Vilanova1-13/+93
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>
2012-11-16trace: allow disabling events in events fileGerd Hoffmann1-1/+8
Disable trace events prefixed with a '-'. Useful to enable a group of tracepoints with exceptions, like this: usb_xhci_port_* -usb_xhci_port_read which will enable all xhci port tracepoints except reads.

2012-07-19trace: added ability to comment out events in the listAlexey Kardashevskiy1-0/+3
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>
2011-09-01trace: add "-trace events" argument to control initial stateLluís1-0/+42
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>
