Thanks for that. I now have a test case that I can reproduce failures on
without needing graphics.
I've been investigating if there are any problems with the timer
processing now they have been moved into the TCG thread. The record
stage seems to work fine but I'm having difficulty figuring out why
playback freezes. It seems we get to a point where we are stuck waiting
for a suspiciously exact timer deadline:
replay_account_executed_instructions: instructions_count reached zero
handle_icount_deadline: deadline=471077745280
replay_account_executed_instructions: instructions_count reached zero
handle_icount_deadline: deadline=10000000
[Switching to Thread 0x7fff7a7be700 (LWP 733)]
Thread 3 "qemu-system-arm" hit Breakpoint 1, handle_icount_deadline () at
/home/alex/lsrc/qemu/qemu.git/cpus.c:1184
1184 fprintf(stderr,"%s: no change to deadline=%ld for
%ld\n",
(gdb) c
Continuing.

One area I wanted to look back at was comparing the record trace from
pre-mttcg-merge to now to see if any information was missing. However
the bin file has quite a lot of noise in it from changing fields so I
was wondering do you have any sort of dumper tool for comparing the
traces? If not is the format of the trace file specified anywhere?
I found:
#define REPLAY_VERSION 0xe02005
but couldn't find any more than that. Is the format basically just
described by the calls to replay_put_byte?
