2014-02-19Modified the tracetool framework for LTTng 2.xMohamad Gebai
* A new format is required to generate definitions for ust tracepoints. Files ust_events_h.py and ust_events_c.py define common macros, while new function ust_events_h in events.py does the actual definition of each tracepoint. * ust.py generates the new interface for calling userspace tracepoints with LTTng 2.x, replacing trace_name(args) to tracepoint(name, args). * As explained in ust_events_c.py, -Wredundant-decls gives a warning when compiling with gcc 4.7 or older. This is specific to lttng-ust so for now use a pragma clause to avoid getting a warning.

2014-01-27trace: fix simple trace "disable" keywordStefan Hajnoczi
The trace-events "disable" keyword turns an event into a nop at compile-time. This is important for high-frequency events that can impact performance. The "disable" keyword is currently broken in the simple trace backend. This patch fixes the problem as follows: Trace events are identified by their TraceEventID number. When events are disabled there are two options for assigning TraceEventID numbers: 1. Skip disabled events and don't assign them a number. 2. Assign numbers for all events regardless of the disabled keyword. The simple trace backend and its binary file format uses approach #1. The tracetool infrastructure has been using approach #2 for a while. The result is that the numbers used in simple trace files do not correspond with TraceEventIDs. In trace/simple.c we assumed that they are identical and therefore emitted bogus numbers. This patch fixes the bug by using TraceEventID for trace_event_id() while sticking to approach #1 for simple trace file numbers. This preserves simple trace file format compatibility.

2013-05-03trace: Add ftrace tracing backendEiichi Tsukata
This patch adds a ftrace tracing backend which sends trace event to ftrace marker file. You can effectively compare qemu trace data and kernel(especially, kvm.ko when using KVM) trace data. The ftrace backend is restricted to Linux only. To try out the ftrace backend: $ ./configure --trace-backend=ftrace $ make if you use KVM, enable kvm events in ftrace: # sudo echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kvm/enable After running qemu by root user, you can get the trace: # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace Signed-off-by: Eiichi Tsukata <eiichi.tsukata.xh@hitachi.com> Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com>

2012-04-18tracetool: handle DTrace keywords 'in', 'next', 'self'Stefan Hajnoczi
Language keywords cannot be used as argument names. The DTrace backend appends an underscore to the argument name in order to make the argument name legal. This patch adds 'in', 'next', and 'self' keywords to dtrace.py. Also drop the unnecessary argument name lstrip() call. The Arguments.build() method already ensures there is no space around argument names. Furthermore it is misleading to do the lstrip() *after* checking against keywords because the keyword check would not match if spaces were in the name.

2012-04-18tracetool: Rewrite infrastructure as python modulesLluís Vilanova
The tracetool script is written in shell and has hit several portability problems due to shell quirks or external tools across host platforms. Additionally the amount of string processing and lack of real data structures makes it tough to implement code generator backends for tracers that are more complex. This patch replaces the shell version of tracetool with a Python version. The new tracetool design is: scripts/tracetool.py - top-level script scripts/tracetool/backend/ - tracer backends live here (simple, ust) scripts/tracetool/format/ - output formats live here (.c, .h) There is common code for trace-events definition parsing so that backends can focus on generating code rather than parsing input. Support for all existing backends (nop, stderr, simple, ust, and dtrace) is added back in follow-up patches.

2012-03-31Fix conversion from lower to upper case with Turkish localeStefan Weil
Some locale settings let make fail or create wrong results because tr '[:lower:]' '[:upper:]' which is used to convert from lower to upper case depends on the locale. With locale tr_TR.UTF-8, lower case 'i' is not converted to 'I'. This results in wrong entries in config-host.h like these ones: #define CONFIG_QEMU_PREFiX "/usr/local" #define CONFIG_QEMU_BiNDiR "/usr/local/bin" This problem was reported by Emre Ersin. The same problem occurs when configure creates the target specific files config-target.mak. They get wrong declarations: TARGET_CRiS=y TARGET_i386=y TARGET_MiCROBLAZE=y TARGET_MiPS64=y TARGET_MiPS=y TARGET_UNiCORE32=y It is sufficient to restrict the conversion to the characters a-z. Using this explicit range avoids the dependency on the locale settings and is also shorter. v2: POSIX says that 'tr a-z' is unspecified outside of the POSIX locale, so we must set LC_ALL=C to make sure that we are using POSIX (hint from Eric Blake, thanks).

2012-03-12tracetool: Omit useless QEMU_*_ENABLED() checkStefan Hajnoczi
SystemTap provides a "semaphore" that can optionally be tested before executing a trace event. The purpose of this mechanism is to skip expensive tracing code when the trace event is disabled. For example, some applications may have trace events that format or convert strings for trace events. This expensive processing should only be done in the case where the trace event is enabled. Since QEMU's generated trace events never have such special-purpose code, there is no reason to add the semaphore check.

2012-03-12trace: Provide a per-event status define for conditional compilationLluís Vilanova
Adds a 'TRACE_${NAME}_ENABLED' preprocessor define for each tracing event in "trace.h". This lets the user conditionally compile code with a relatively high execution cost that is only necessary when producing the tracing information for an event that is enabled. Note that events using this define will probably have the "disable" property by default, in order to avoid such costs on regular builds.

2011-09-17trace: allow PRI*64 at beginning and ending of format stringStefan Hajnoczi
The tracetool parser only picks up PRI*64 and other format string macros when enclosed between double quoted strings. Lift this restriction by extracting everything after the closing ')' as the format string: cpu_set_apic_base(uint64_t val) "%016"PRIx64 ^^ ^^ One trick here: it turns out that backslashes in the format string like "\n" were being interpreted by echo(1). Fix this by using the POSIX printf(1) command instead. Although it normally does not make sense to include backslashes in trace event format strings, an injected newline causes tracetool to emit a broken header file and I want to eliminate cases where broken output is emitted, even if the input was bad.
