Stefan Hajnoczi cd245a1932 trace: Trace qemu_malloc() and qemu_vmalloc()
It is often useful to instrument memory management functions in order to
find leaks or performance problems.  This patch adds trace events for
the memory allocation primitives.

# Trace events for debugging and performance instrumentation
#
# This file is processed by the tracetool script during the build.
#
# To add a new trace event:
#
# 1. Choose a name for the trace event. Declare its arguments and format
# string.
#
# 2. Call the trace event from code using trace_##name, e.g. multiwrite_cb() ->
# trace_multiwrite_cb(). The source file must #include "trace.h".
#
# Format of a trace event:
#
# [disable] <name>(<type1> <arg1>[, <type2> <arg2>] ...) "<format-string>"
#
# Example: qemu_malloc(size_t size) "size %zu"
#
# The "disable" keyword will build without the trace event.
# In case of 'simple' trace backend, it will allow the trace event to be
# compiled, but this would be turned off by default. It can be toggled on via
# the monitor.
#
# The <name> must be a valid as a C function name.
#
# Types should be standard C types. Use void * for pointers because the trace
# system may not have the necessary headers included.
#
# The <format-string> should be a sprintf()-compatible format string.
# qemu-malloc.c
