Python script that prints executed helpers of a QEMU invocation.


Hi, Ahmed.

You outlined the envisioned user workflow regarding this script in your report. As I understand it, it generally goes like this:

1) The user first discovers helpers, and their performance data.
2) The user examines the callees of a particular helper of choice (usually, the most instruction-consuming helper).
3) The user perhaps further examines a callee of a particular callee of the particular helper.
4) The user continues this way until the conclusion can be drawn, or maximal depth is reached.

The procedure might be time consuming since each step requires running an emulation of the test program.

This makes me think that the faster and easier tool for the user (but, to some, not that great, extent, harder for you) would be improved list_helpers.py (and list_fn_calees.py) that provides list of all callees for all helpers, in the tree form (so, callees of callees, callees of callees of callees, etc.), rather than providing just a list of immediate callees, like it currently does.

I think you can provide such functionality relatively easily using recursion. See, let's say:

https://realpython.com/python-thinking-recursively/


For printing trees like this:

foo
├── bar
│ ├── a
│ └── b
├── baz
└── qux
└── c⏎
d

you can potentialy use tree-format library:

https://pypi.org/project/tree-format/ .
 
Perhaps you can have a switch (let's say, --tree <yes|no>) that specifies whether the script outputs just immediate callee list, or entire callee tree.

Thanks,
Aleksandar
