execlog is a plugin that logs executed instructions with some useful
metadata including memory access.

The output of the plugin is designed to be usable with other tools. For
example it could be used with a side-channel leakage model to create
side-channel traces from QEMU for security evaluation.

Changes since v1:
  - The output is now easier to parse.
  - Use QEMU logging API rather than FILE* to write output.
  - Don't reject memory information in user mode.
  - Merge memory information with instruction execution. Now one line
    means one instruction.
  - Add documentation.

Where you planning on posting v3? I'm just seeing if we can get this
merged before code freeze in a weeks time.


I had a deadline next week but I managed to move it later, so I can try to make the important changes tomorrow and send v3.

I think I will contribute the support for triggering the beginning and end of tracing in another patch as I believe that's something we don't want to rush.

Thanks,
