2010-09-09trace: Add trace-file command to open/close/flush trace fileStefan Hajnoczi1-0/+14
This patch adds the trace-file command: trace-file [on|off|flush] Open, close, or flush the trace file. If no argument is given, the status of the trace file is displayed. The trace file is turned on by default but is only written out when the trace buffer becomes full. The flush operation can be used to force write out at any time. Turning off the trace file does not change the state of trace events; tracing will continue to the trace buffer. When the trace file is off, use "info trace" to display the contents of the trace buffer in memory. Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@linux.vnet.ibm.com> This commit also contains the trace-file sub-command from the following commit: commit 5ce8d1a957afae2c52ad748944ce72848ccf57bd Author: Prerna Saxena <prerna@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Date: Wed Aug 4 16:23:54 2010 +0530 trace: Add options to specify trace file name at startup and runtime This patch adds an optional command line switch '-trace' to specify the filename to write traces to, when qemu starts. Eg, If compiled with the 'simple' trace backend, [temp@system]$ qemu -trace FILENAME IMAGE Allows the binary traces to be written to FILENAME instead of the option set at config-time. Also, this adds monitor sub-command 'set' to trace-file commands to dynamically change trace log file at runtime. Eg, (qemu)trace-file set FILENAME This allows one to set trace outputs to FILENAME from the default specified at startup.

2010-09-09trace: Support for dynamically enabling/disabling trace eventsPrerna Saxena1-0/+25
This patch adds support for dynamically enabling/disabling of trace events. This is done by internally maintaining each trace event's state, and permitting logging of data from a trace event only if it is in an 'active' state. Monitor commands added : 1) info trace-events : to view all available trace events and their state. 2) trace-event NAME on|off : to enable/disable data logging from a given trace event. Eg, trace-event paio_submit off disables logging of data when paio_submit is hit. By default, all trace-events are disabled. One can enable desired trace-events via the monitor.

2010-06-13monitor/QMP: Drop info hpet / query-hpetJan Kiszka1-21/+0
This command was of minimal use before, now it is useless as the hpet become a qdev device and is thus easily discoverable. We should definitely not set query-hpet in QMP's stone, and there is also no good reason to keep it for the interactive monitor.

2010-06-01QMP: Introduce commands documentationJan Kiszka1-0/+1322
One of the most important missing feature in QMP today is its supported commands documentation. The plan is to make it part of self-description support, however self-description is a big task we have been postponing for a long time now and still don't know when it's going to be done. In order not to compromise QMP adoption and make users' life easier, this commit adds a simple text documentation which fully describes all QMP supported commands. This is not ideal for a number of reasons (harder to maintain, text-only, etc) but does improve the current situation. To avoid at least divering from the user monitor help and texi snippets, QMP bits are also maintained inside qemu-monitor.hx, and hxtool is extended to generate a single text file from them.

2010-05-19Revert "monitor: Convert do_pci_device_hot_remove() to QObject"Markus Armbruster1-2/+1

2010-05-19Revert "PCI: Convert pci_device_hot_add() to QObject"Markus Armbruster1-2/+1
Short story: We don't want pci_add in QMP. Long story follows. pci_add can do two things: * Hot plug a PCI NIC. device_add is more general. * Hot plug a PCI disk controller, and a drive connected to it. The controller is either virtio-blk-pci (if=virtio) or lsi53c895a (if=scsi). With the latter, the drive is optional. Use drive_add to hotplug additional SCSI drives. Except drive_add is not available in QMP. device_add is more general for controllers and the guest part of drives. I'm working on a more general alternative for the host part of drives. Why am I proposing to remove pci_add from QMP before its replacement is ready? I want it out sooner rather than later, because it isn't fully functional (errors and drive_add are missing), and we do not plan to complete the job. In other words, it's not really usable over QMP now, and it's not what we want for QMP anyway. Since we don't want it to be used over QMP, we should take it out, not leave it around as a trap for the uninitiated. Dan Berrange confirmed that libvirt has no need for pci_add & friends over QMP.

2010-02-10QMP: Introduce the qmp_capabilities commandLuiz Capitulino1-0/+14
This command will be used to enable QMP capabilities advertised by the capabilities array. Note that it will be mandatory to issue this command in order to make QMP functional (although this behavior is not being enforced by this commit). Also, as we don't have any capabilities yet, the new command doesn't accept any arguments. I will postpone the decision for a format for this until we get our first capability. Finally, this command is visible from the user Monitor too, in the meaning that you can execute it but it won't do anything. Making it only visible in QMP is beyond this series' goal, as it requires changes in unrelated places.

2010-01-26virtio: Add memory statistics reporting to the balloon driverAdam Litke1-1/+2
When using ballooning to manage overcommitted memory on a host, a system for guests to communicate their memory usage to the host can provide information that will minimize the impact of ballooning on the guests. The current method employs a daemon running in each guest that communicates memory statistics to a host daemon at a specified time interval. The host daemon aggregates this information and inflates and/or deflates balloons according to the level of host memory pressure. This approach is effective but overly complex since a daemon must be installed inside each guest and coordinated to communicate with the host. A simpler approach is to collect memory statistics in the virtio balloon driver and communicate them directly to the hypervisor.
