[Qemu-devel] [RFC][PATCH v1 0/4] trace-gen: support for trace points in


From: Lluís
Subject: [Qemu-devel] [RFC][PATCH v1 0/4] trace-gen: support for trace points in code-generation routines
Date: Wed, 03 Nov 2010 21:02:33 +0100
User-agent: StGit/0.15

Adds a new optional keyword ("gen") to the syntax in "trace-events". When
specified, this event property will generate an extra set of functions that
provide the ability to inject trace points into TCG-generated code. Note that
the regular backend-dependant functions will also be generated.

The extra files generated, and their functions are:

- trace-helper.h
  Declares a 'trace_proxy_##name' TCG helper for each affected trace event.

- trace-helper.c
  Defines a 'trace_proxy_##name' TCG helper for each affected trace event, which
  simply calls 'trace_##name'.
  Note that this scheme neatly blends with the "instrument" property.

- trace-gen.h
  Defines a 'trace_gen_##name##_backend' function for each affected trace event,
  which handles all the (de)allocation of TCG temporaries and calls
  'gen_helper_trace_proxy_##name'.
  If the "instrument" property is not present, 'trace_gen_##name' is defined as
  an alias.
  This file is instended to be included instead of "trace.h" for generating TCG
  calls to trace points.

In order to fully exploit the information available during TCG code generation,
trace events with the "gen" property can also use TCG data types (e.g.,
TCG_ptr), which are gracefully handled by 'tracetool' when generating the
"trace.h" and "trace.c" files.

TODO:
 * Handle TCGv_tl and target_long/target_ulong
