2014-06-09trace: Multi-backend tracingLluís Vilanova1-24/+1
Adds support to compile QEMU with multiple tracing backends at the same time. For example, you can compile QEMU with: $ ./configure --enable-trace-backends=ftrace,dtrace Where 'ftrace' can be handy for having an in-flight record of events, and 'dtrace' can be later used to extract more information from the system. This patch allows having both available without recompiling QEMU. Signed-off-by: Lluís Vilanova <vilanova@ac.upc.edu> Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com>
2013-05-03trace: Add ftrace tracing backendEiichi Tsukata1-0/+102
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>
