[Qemu-devel] [RFC v2] [PATCH 0/3] Monitor Support for 'simple' trace backend

[Qemu-devel] [RFC v2] [PATCH 0/3] Monitor Support for 'simple' trace backend

[Prerna Saxena]

This is v2 of monitor commands based on Stefan's trace framework :
( http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2010-05/msg02407.html )

This adds the following monitor commands for the 'simple' backend:
- info trace 		: to view current contents of the trace buffer.
- info tracepoints 	: to view all available tracepoints and their 
			  state.
- tracepoint NAME on|off: to enable/disable the logging of data from 
			  tracepoint 'NAME'.


Changelog :
- Command 'info trace' is used to view current contents of buffer, in 
place of 'trace'.
- Cleanups

[Qemu-devel] [RFC v2] [PATCH 1/3] Export tdb_hash()

[Prerna Saxena]

For now, I simply export tdb_hash() from qdict.h for use by tracing 
framework.
Luiz suggested renaming and exporting it from a location other than 
qdict.h . Would "qemu-common.h" be a better place?

[Qemu-devel] [RFC v2] [PATCH 2/3] Monitor command 'info trace'

[Prerna Saxena]

This introduces the monitor command 'info trace' to display current

[Qemu-devel] [RFC v2] [PATCH 3/3] Toggle tracepoint state

[Prerna Saxena]

This patch adds support for dynamically enabling/disabling of tracepoints.
Monitor commands added :
1) info tracepoints 		: to view all available tracepoints and 
				  their state.
2) tracepoint NAME on|off 	: to enable/disable data logging from a 
				  given tracepoint.
				  Eg, tracepoint paio_submit off 
				  	disables logging of data when 
					paio_submit is hit.

For now it is a simple comparison, I'm exploring optimizations that can 
be employed to make this faster.

Do we want this in QMP?

For sure IMO. Maybe not in a hurry to avoid breakages until the whole
tracing infrastructure has settled, but long-term to ease scripting etc.

Still, let's not add this as an old-style monitor command, rather
convert it to the new style, maybe blocking QMP for now. I'll post the
required infrastructure for that blocking along my next device_show
series (hopefully the next days).

 qemu-common.h seems to be about header files, I thought we had a qemu-misc.c
file already. I'd create it if we don't.

 Yeah, that's why I didn't suggest it in my review.

 Agreed.
