This new tracetool "format" generates a SystemTap .stp file that outputs simpletrace binary trace data. In contrast to simpletrace or ftrace, SystemTap does not define its own trace format. All output from SystemTap is generated by .stp files. This patch lets us generate a .stp file that outputs in the simpletrace binary format. This makes it possible to reuse simpletrace.py to analyze traces recorded using SystemTap. The simpletrace binary format is especially useful for long-running traces like flight-recorder mode where string formatting can be expensive. Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com> |
