QEMU SystemTap trace tool

=========================

Synopsis
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
**qemu-trace-stap** [*GLOBAL-OPTIONS*] *COMMAND* [*COMMAND-OPTIONS*] *ARGS*...
|
|
|
|
Description
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
The ``qemu-trace-stap`` program facilitates tracing of the execution
|
|
of QEMU emulators using SystemTap.
|
|
|
|
It is required to have the SystemTap runtime environment installed to use
|
|
this program, since it is a wrapper around execution of the ``stap``
|
|
program.
|
|
|
|
Options
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
.. program:: qemu-trace-stap
|
|
|
|
The following global options may be used regardless of which command
|
|
is executed:
|
|
|
|
.. option:: --verbose, -v
|
|
|
|
Display verbose information about command execution.
|
|
|
|
The following commands are valid:
|
|
|
|
.. option:: list BINARY PATTERN...
|
|
|
|
List all the probe names provided by *BINARY* that match
|
|
*PATTERN*.
|
|
|
|
If *BINARY* is not an absolute path, it will be located by searching
|
|
the directories listed in the ``$PATH`` environment variable.
|
|
|
|
*PATTERN* is a plain string that is used to filter the results of
|
|
this command. It may optionally contain a ``*`` wildcard to facilitate
|
|
matching multiple probes without listing each one explicitly. Multiple
|
|
*PATTERN* arguments may be given, causing listing of probes that match
|
|
any of the listed names. If no *PATTERN* is given, the all possible
|
|
probes will be listed.
|
|
|
|
For example, to list all probes available in the ``qemu-system-x86_64``
|
|
binary:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
$ qemu-trace-stap list qemu-system-x86_64
|
|
|
|
To filter the list to only cover probes related to QEMU's cryptographic
|
|
subsystem, in a binary outside ``$PATH``
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
$ qemu-trace-stap list /opt/qemu/4.0.0/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 'qcrypto*'
|
|
|
|
.. option:: run OPTIONS BINARY PATTERN...
|
|
|
|
Run a trace session, printing formatted output any time a process that is
|
|
executing *BINARY* triggers a probe matching *PATTERN*.
|
|
|
|
If *BINARY* is not an absolute path, it will be located by searching
|
|
the directories listed in the ``$PATH`` environment variable.
|
|
|
|
*PATTERN* is a plain string that matches a probe name shown by the
|
|
*LIST* command. It may optionally contain a ``*`` wildcard to
|
|
facilitate matching multiple probes without listing each one explicitly.
|
|
Multiple *PATTERN* arguments may be given, causing all matching probes
|
|
to be monitored. At least one *PATTERN* is required, since stap is not
|
|
capable of tracing all known QEMU probes concurrently without overflowing
|
|
its trace buffer.
|
|
|
|
Invocation of this command does not need to be synchronized with
|
|
invocation of the QEMU process(es). It will match probes on all
|
|
existing running processes and all future launched processes,
|
|
unless told to only monitor a specific process.
|
|
|
|
Valid command specific options are:
|
|
|
|
.. program:: qemu-trace-stap-run
|
|
|
|
.. option:: --pid=PID, -p PID
|
|
|
|
Restrict the tracing session so that it only triggers for the process
|
|
identified by *PID*.
|
|
|
|
For example, to monitor all processes executing ``qemu-system-x86_64``
|
|
as found on ``$PATH``, displaying all I/O related probes:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
$ qemu-trace-stap run qemu-system-x86_64 'qio*'
|
|
|
|
To monitor only the QEMU process with PID 1732
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
$ qemu-trace-stap run --pid=1732 qemu-system-x86_64 'qio*'
|
|
|
|
To monitor QEMU processes running an alternative binary outside of
|
|
``$PATH``, displaying verbose information about setup of the
|
|
tracing environment:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
$ qemu-trace-stap -v run /opt/qemu/4.0.0/qemu-system-x86_64 'qio*'
|
|
|
