[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 09/11] trace-state: [simple] add "-trace events"


From: Lluís
Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 09/11] trace-state: [simple] add "-trace events" argument to control initial state
Date: Wed, 06 Apr 2011 20:34:56 +0200
User-agent: StGit/0.15

When using the "simple" tracing backend, all events are in disabled state by
default.

The "-trace events" argument can be used to provide a file with a list of trace
event names that will be enabled prior to starting execution. This saves the
user from manually toggling event states through the monitor interface, as well
as enables early tracing for the selected points, much like other
more-sophisticated backends like "ust" or "dtrace".
