This patchset adds support for tracing guest kernels to trace-cmd.
Changes in v12:
- fix patches' Signed-off-by tags
Changes in v11:
- fix flushing tracing data bug when doing VM recording
Changes in v10:
- add support for specifying VMware Workstation guests by name on the command line
- add docstring for tracecmd_create_recorder_virt()
- add a comment on why we need to poll() in direct_splice_data()
Changes in v9:
- none
Changes in v8:
- switched protocol message encoding of ports to text
- switched ports data type to unsigned since vsockets port numbers can overflow int and be confused with errors codes by other code
- added automatic naming for guests with no names (for VMware Workstation guests currently)
- added --debug option to trace-cmd agent
Changes in v7:
- fixed potential memory leak in add_arg()
- call msg_free() in tracecmd_msg_recv_trace_req() eventhough we're stealing
the message buffer
- added is_guest and is_agent macros and use throughout tracecmd_record.c
instead of testing instance->flags bits
- avoid memory allocation in make_dir()
Changes in v6:
- added specialized data transfer path over FIFOs making single splice() per
iteration
- made tracecmd_msg_recv_trace_req/tracecmd_msg_recv_trace_resp more defensive
to invalid messages
Changes in v5:
- add FIFOs transport for tracing data
- fixed a bug in tracecmd_msg_wait_close
Changes in v4:
- detect and use splice(2) on vsock sockets if possible
- switch port numbers to unsigned int
- trace-cmd record --date flag is now set for all guests if provided by the user
- removed grow_cap and exponential buffer size growth
Changes in v3:
- addressed Steven's feedback
- detect and disable guest tracing if <linux/vm_sockets.h> is not available
- the --date flag is now treated as global for all guest instances
- fixed a bug that caused --date to be ignored for host tracing data when tracing guests
Changes in v2:
- rebased on top of protocol V3
- fixed system clock timestamps with the --date flag
