[Qemu-devel] [RFC PATCH] monitor: add info translate (HACK!)


From: Alex Bennée
Subject: [Qemu-devel] [RFC PATCH] monitor: add info translate (HACK!)
Date: Thu, 21 Sep 2017 15:45:34 +0100

Currently investigating translation involves enabling debugging flags
and potentially generating large amounts of debug information and
sifting through it. -dfilter helps but often you want to investigate
what's going on in a live system. This patch is an attempt at that.

It adds a "info translate" command which is passed an address. It then
grabs the tb_lock, fiddles with the loglevel flags and then does a
un-cached translation, spewing the output on stderr. There are a
number of open questions:

 - there is currently no safe way to re-direct log output
 - messing with internal qemu_loglevel flags is *eewww*
 - we don't deal with translation flags

We could deal with the inherent racey behaviour by pushing the output
to a async safe function. It also might make sense to be able to
introspect what TB's exist in a given range and then use that
information to re-run the translation live.
