The kvm kernel module includes a number of trace events which can be
useful when debugging system behavior. Even on production systems these
trace events can be used to observe guest behavior and identify the
source of problems.
The kvm_flightrecorder script is a command-line wrapper for the
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing interface. Kernel symbols do not need to be
installed.
This script captures a fixed-size buffer of KVM trace events. Recent
events overwrite the oldest events when the buffer size is exceeded and
it is possible to leave KVM tracing enabled for any period of time with
just a fixed-size buffer. If the buffer is large enough this script is
a useful tool for collecting detailed information after an issue occurs
with a guest. Hence the name "flight recorder".
The script can also be used in 'tail' mode to simply view KVM trace
events as they occur. This is handy for development and to ensure that
the guest is indeed running.

Makefile.target: code stp dependency on trace-events
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).

The idea behind qtest is pretty simple. Instead of executing a CPU via TCG or
KVM, rely on an external process to send events to the device model that the CPU
would normally generate.
qtest presents itself as an accelerator. In addition, a new option is added to
establish a qtest server (-qtest) that takes a character device. This is what
allows the external process to send CPU events to the device model.
qtest uses a simple line based protocol to send the events. Documentation of
that protocol is in qtest.c.
I considered reusing the monitor for this job. Adding interrupts would be a bit
difficult. In addition, logging would also be difficult.
qtest has extensive logging support. All protocol commands are logged with
time stamps using a new command line option (-qtest-log). Logging is important
since ultimately, this is a feature for debugging.

Right now, the semantics of next_list are complicated. The caller must:
* call start_list
* call next_list for each element *including the first*
* on the first call to next_list, the second argument should point to
NULL and the result is the head of the list. On subsequent calls,
the second argument should point to the last node (last result of
next_list) and next_list itself tacks the element at the tail of the
list.
This works for both input and output visitor, but having the visitor
write memory when it is only reading the list is ugly. Plus, relying
on *list to detect the first call is tricky and undocumented.
We can initialize so->entry in next_list instead of start_list, leaving
it NULL in start_list. This way next_list sees clearly whether it is
on the first call---as a bonus, it discriminates the cases based on
internal state of the visitor rather than external state. We can
also pull the assignment of the list head from generated code up to
next_list.

We've at least one UTF8 char in the qemu texi doc:
$ grep Tibor qemu-doc.texi
by Tibor "TS" Schütz.
$ man ./qemu.1 | grep Tibor
by Tibor "TS" SchA~Xtz.
This patch allows utf8 in man/pod docs.
Initially it was split into two parts and sent on 2012-02-02.
Resending it again (3rd time) now in merged form. If any
other generalizations of $(POD2MAN) are needed it can be done
in a separate patch. Current form of $(POD2MAN) is choosen
to be able to easily change it if some implementation does
not support utf8 or resulting output has issues with local
man(1) program/macros.
First, add @documentencoding in scripts/texi2pod.pl:
Currently our texi2pod ignores @documentencoding even if it is set
properly in *.texi files. This results in a mojibake in documents
generated from qemu.pod (which is generated from qemu-doc.texi by
texi2pod), because the rest of the tools assumes ASCII encoding.
This patch recognizes first @documentencoding in input and places
it at the beginning of output as =encoding directive.
Second, run pod2man with --utf8 option to enable utf8 in manpages:
This option makes no difference for manpages which contains only
ascii chars. But for manpages with actual UTF8 characters (qemu
docs contains these), this change allows to see real characters
instead of mojibakes or substitutes.

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.

This commit fixes that by changing the code generator to only

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.
