[Qemu-devel] [RFC][PATCH]Add timestamp to error message

[Seiji Aguchi]

[Issue]
When we offer a customer support service and a problem happens 
in a customer's system, we try to understand the problem by 
comparing what the customer reports with message logs of the 
customer's system.

In this case, we often need to know when the problem happens.

But, currently, there is no timestamp in qemu's error messages.
Therefore, we may not be able to understand the problem based on
error messages.

[Solution]
This patch adds a timestamp to qemu's error message logged by
error_report().

A logic calculating a time is copied from libvirt, src/util/virtime.c.

[TODO]
Other functions below are used to output error messages in qemu.
 - qerror_report() is called in many source codes.
 - fprintf() is called in vl.c.

A timestamp should be added to these messages as well.
