[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/2] Add support for SystemTAP and DTrace tracing backends (v5)

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/2] Add support for SystemTAP and DTrace tracing backends (v5)

[Daniel P. Berrange]

A repost of the SystemTAP/DTrace patches from

  http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2010-11/msg00496.html

The patch is now split into two pieces. 

The first patch contains the generic DTrace tracing backend support.

The second patch contains additional pieces for SystemTAP to generate
a tapset for each of the qemu-system-XXX binaries, to simplify life
for admins wanting to use the tracing backend. This addresses the 
problem in previous versions of the patch where the tapset only worked 
for /usr/bin/qemu and no other binaries. Unfortunately SystemTAP does 
not allow for use of wildcards, so it was neccessary to go for a separate 
tapset file per emulator binary.

Changes in v5:

 - The Makefile merge error is now fixed

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/2] Add a DTrace tracing backend targetted for SystemTAP compatability

[Daniel P. Berrange]

This introduces a new tracing backend that targets the SystemTAP
implementation of DTrace userspace tracing. The core functionality
should be applicable and standard across any DTrace implementation
on Solaris, OS-X, *BSD, but the Makefile rules will likely need
some small additional changes to cope with OS specific build
requirements.

This backend builds a little differently from the other tracing
backends. Specifically there is no 'trace.c' file, because the
'dtrace' command line tool generates a '.o' file directly from
the dtrace probe definition file. The probe definition is usually
named with a '.d' extension but QEMU uses '.d' files for its
external makefile dependancy tracking, so this uses '.dtrace' as
the extension for the probe definition file.

The 'tracetool' program gains the ability to generate a trace.h
file for DTrace, and also to generate the trace.d file containing
the dtrace probe definition.

Example usage of a dtrace probe in systemtap looks like:

  probe process("qemu").mark("qemu_malloc") {
    printf("Malloc %d %p\n", $arg1, $arg2);
  }

* .gitignore: Ignore trace-dtrace.*
* Makefile: Extra rules for generating DTrace files
* Makefile.obj: Don't build trace.o for DTrace, use
  trace-dtrace.o generated by 'dtrace' instead
* tracetool: Support for generating DTrace data files

Unfortunately these commits:
2834c3e Add support for generating a systemtap tapset static probes
4addb11 Add a DTrace tracing backend targetted for SystemTAP compatability

seem to have broken building on x86:
 git clone git://git.qemu.org/qemu.git
 cd qemu
 ./configure
 make

fails with
  LINK  i386-softmmu/trace
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.4.5/../../../../lib/crt1.o: In
function `_start':
(.text+0x20): undefined reference to `main'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Incidentally, although trace.c is autogenerated, if you delete it and
then type make this does not cause it to be regenerated, which
seems wrong to me.

What's your configure output?

I don't have the right environment to build with systemtap support, but 
--trace-backend=nop should work regardless.

I've attached it; the trace related bits are:
Trace backend     nop
Trace output file trace-<pid>

> I don't have the right environment to build with systemtap support, but

I'm using the nop backend, yes.

I think the problem is that commit 2834c3e adds a target 'trace:' to the
Makefile.target which looks like it's intended to be a phony target. However
it isn't marked as such, so make actually tries to create a binary 'trace'
by falling back to its default rules (since there's a "trace.c" in the root
directory):

petmay01@LinaroE102767:~/qemu-test/qemu/i386-softmmu$ make -n trace

...and linking only trace.o into a binary 'trace' fails because
trace.c doesn't have a main() (or indeed any functions at all).

If I add a ".PHONY: trace" or change the "trace" target
name to "tracexyzzy" then this fixes the problem.

Curious, care to send a patch?  I think I'm not seeing this because I 
build with srcdir != objdir.

Ah, yes, if I build in a different directory to the sources I can build
without having to patch the makefiles. (That feature of configure
doesn't seem to be documented anywhere, unless I've missed
something.)

Anyway, patch sent. I opted to tidy up the makefile a little to avoid
either an ugly target name or a GNU-makeism. I fiddled configure
so I could test the CONFIG_SYSTEMTAP_TRACE bit despite
not having systemtap on this machine, but it would be good if
a real systemtap user could check it.

A couple of oddities I noticed along the way:

(1) How do you get configure to enable CONFIG_SYSTEMTAP_TRACE?
The condition is:
if test "$trace_backend" = "dtrace" -a "$trace_backend_stap" = "yes" ; then
  echo "CONFIG_SYSTEMTAP_TRACE=y" >> $config_host_mak
fi
but trace_backend_stap is only set inside code guarded by
if test "$trace_backend" = "ust"
...
so as far as I can tell the two halves of the -a will never
both be true.

(2) in Makefile.target, the blank line after the all: line:
> all: $(PROGS) $(STPFILES)
>
> # Dummy command so that make thinks it has done something
>         @true

is I think a bit misleading although it is valid makefile syntax.
I suspect it got added by accident.

This Makefile problem was fixed in the v6 patches I posted on Nov 12th

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2010-11/msg01033.html

Unfortunately the v5 patches were applied by mistake.

I'm afraid you have applied an old version of the patches. Please
revert these, and apply version 6, from Nov 12th

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2010-11/msg01033.html

Sure, sorry about that.

But in the future, please indicate the version somewhere in the patch 
(preferrably the header).

Here's the changelog from v5 to v6:

 - Fix handling of probes with no-args in DTrace provider
 - Generate one tapset per target, for both system and user
  emulators
 - Re-write command line arg parsing in tracetool so it
  doesn't assume a particular ordering of args
 - Change '-s' to '--stap' in tracetool to avoid confusion
 - Pass full binary name into tracetool

It would be nice to have v6.  Is it possible to revert v5 and apply v6 instead?

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 2/2] Add support for generating a systemtap tapset static probes

[Daniel P. Berrange]

This introduces generation of a qemu.stp/qemu-system-XXX.stp
files which provides tapsets with friendly names for static
probes & their arguments. Instead of

    probe process("qemu").mark("qemu_malloc") {
        printf("Malloc %d %p\n", $arg1, $arg2);
    }

It is now possible todo

    probe qemu.system.i386.qemu_malloc {
        printf("Malloc %d %p\n", size, ptr);
    }

There is one tapset defined per target arch.

* Makefile: Generate a qemu.stp file for systemtap
* tracetool: Support for generating systemtap tapsets
