This patch is part of Google Summer of Code (GSoC) 2019. More about the project can be found in: https://wiki.qemu.org/Internships/ProjectIdeas/TCGCodeQuality
The goal of this patch is to add infrastructure to collect execution and JIT statistics during the emulation with accel/TCG. The statistics are stored in TBStatistic structures (TBStats) with each TB having its respective TBStats. We added -d tb_stats and HMP tb_stats commands to allow the control of this statistics collection. And info tb, tbs, and coverset commands were also added to allow dumping and exploring all this information while emulating. Collecting these statistics and information is useful to understand qemu performance and to help to add the support for traces to QEMU. v5: - full replacement of CONFIG_PROFILER - several fixes - adds "info cfg" - adds TB's targets to dump vandersonmr (10): accel: introducing TBStatistics structure accel: collecting TB execution count accel: collecting JIT statistics accel: replacing part of CONFIG_PROFILER with TBStats accel: adding TB_JIT_TIME and full replacing CONFIG_PROFILER log: adding -d tb_stats to control tbstats monitor: adding tb_stats hmp command Adding info [tbs|tb|coverset] commands to HMP. These commands allow the exploration of TBs generated by the TCG. Understand which one hotter, with more guest/host instructions... and examine their guest, host and IR code. monitor: adding new info cfg command linux-user: dumping hot TBs at the end of the execution accel/tcg/Makefile.objs | 2 +- accel/tcg/cpu-exec.c | 4 + accel/tcg/perf/Makefile.objs | 1 + accel/tcg/tb-stats.c | 865 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ accel/tcg/tcg-runtime.c | 7 + accel/tcg/tcg-runtime.h | 2 + accel/tcg/translate-all.c | 133 ++++-- accel/tcg/translator.c | 6 + configure | 3 - cpus.c | 14 +- disas.c | 31 +- hmp-commands-info.hx | 31 ++ hmp-commands.hx | 17 + include/exec/exec-all.h | 15 +- include/exec/gen-icount.h | 10 + include/exec/tb-context.h | 12 + include/exec/tb-hash.h | 7 + include/exec/tb-stats.h | 142 ++++++ include/qemu-common.h | 16 + include/qemu/log-for-trace.h | 4 + include/qemu/log.h | 3 + include/qemu/timer.h | 5 +- linux-user/exit.c | 4 + monitor/misc.c | 171 ++++++- tcg/tcg.c | 231 +++------- tcg/tcg.h | 22 +- util/log.c | 90 +++- vl.c | 8 +- 28 files changed, 1572 insertions(+), 284 deletions(-) create mode 100644 accel/tcg/perf/Makefile.objs create mode 100644 accel/tcg/tb-stats.c create mode 100644 include/exec/tb-stats.h -- 2.22.0
