[Linux-ia64] Tracing the execution path

[Krishna Kanth Sistla]

Hi all,
       I am doing some benchmarking runs on a Softsur
running linux. I am interested in obtaining the actual
execution trace of a user level code. Is there some
tool in linux that can let me do this?. Some tool that

can print out the intruction execution trace of any
user level program. Any help will be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks
Krishna

The HP Ski simulator can do that.  See http://software.hp.com/ia64linux/

The other thing you could do is use the utrace program that I posted
to this list a while ago.  It can do both taken-branch trap based
tracing and single-step trap based tracing.
