[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 13/14] trace: Add LTTng Userspace Tracer backend


From: Stefan Hajnoczi
Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH 13/14] trace: Add LTTng Userspace Tracer backend
Date: Thu, 12 Aug 2010 11:36:34 +0100

This patch adds LTTng Userspace Tracer (UST) backend support.  The UST
system requires no kernel support but libust and liburcu must be
installed.

$ ./configure --trace-backend ust
$ make

Start the UST daemon:
$ ustd &

List available tracepoints and enable some:
$ ustctl --list-markers $(pgrep qemu)
[...]
{PID: 5458, channel/marker: ust/paio_submit, state: 0, fmt: "acb %p
opaque %p sector_num %lu nb_sectors %lu type %lu" 0x4b32ba}
$ ustctl --enable-marker "ust/paio_submit" $(pgrep qemu)

Run the trace:
$ ustctl --create-trace $(pgrep qemu)
$ ustctl --start-trace $(pgrep qemu)
[...]
$ ustctl --stop-trace $(pgrep qemu)
$ ustctl --destroy-trace $(pgrep qemu)

Trace results can be viewed using lttv-gui.

More information about UST:

trace: Check for LTTng Userspace Tracer headers

When using the 'ust' backend, check if the relevant headers are
available at host.
