Jes Sorensen added an option to make this possible: http://repo.or.cz/w/qemu.git/commitdiff/e323c93edf3abb67c37b8e08b78da483588= 0f12e Distro packaging scripts can make use of this tracetool option to generate .stp files for qemu-kvm in its install path. I think you need to file a bug with your distro. Stefan
