SimPoint is a widely used tool to find the ideal microarchitecture simulation points so Valgrind[2] and Pin[3] support generating basic block vectors for use with them. Let's add a corresponding plugin to QEMU too. Note that this plugin has a different goal with tests/plugin/bb.c. This plugin creates a vector for each constant interval instead of counting the execution of basic blocks for the entire run and able to describe the change of execution behavior. Its output is also syntactically simple and better suited for parsing, while the output of tests/plugin/bb.c is more human-readable.
