[PATCH 39/40] contrib/plugins: extend execlog to track register changes


From: Alex Bennée
Subject: [PATCH 39/40] contrib/plugins: extend execlog to track register changes
Date: Thu, 21 Dec 2023 10:38:17 +0000

With the new plugin register API we can now track changes to register
values. Currently the implementation is fairly dumb which will slow
down if a large number of register values are being tracked. This
could be improved by only instrumenting instructions which mention
registers we are interested in tracking.

Example usage:

  ./qemu-aarch64 -D plugin.log -d plugin \
     -cpu max,sve256=on \
     -plugin contrib/plugins/libexeclog.so,reg=sp,reg=z\* \
     ./tests/tcg/aarch64-linux-user/sha512-sve

will display in the execlog any changes to the stack pointer (sp) and
the SVE Z registers.

v2
  - we now do the glob-like search in the plugin itself.
  - fix some erroneous cpus->cpu

vAJB:

Changes for the new API with a simpler glob based "reg" specifier
which can be specified multiple times.

+This plugin can also dump registers when they change value. Specify the name 
of the
+registers with multiple ``reg`` options. You can also use glob style matching 
if you wish::

+Be aware that each additional register to check will slow down execution quite 
considerably.
