libtracecmd(3)
=============
NAME
----
tracecmd_get_traceid, tracecmd_get_guest_cpumap - Manage trace session with multiple trace peers,
recorded in multiple trace files.
SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
--
*#include <trace-cmd.h>*
unsigned long long *tracecmd_get_traceid*(struct tracecmd_input pass:[*]_handle_);
int *tracecmd_get_guest_cpumap*(struct tracecmd_input pass:[*]_handle_, unsigned long long _trace_id_, const char pass:[*]pass:[*]_name_, int pass:[*]_vcpu_count_, const int pass:[*]pass:[*]_cpu_pid_);
--
DESCRIPTION
-----------
This set of APIs can be used to manage a trace session with multiple trace
peers, for example, tracing both a host and one or more guest virtual machines.
The trace data of each peer from the session is recorded in separate trace files.
Information about peers from the session is stored in the metadata of each
trace file. These APIs use that information to extract and synchronize
the trace data.
The _tracecmd_get_traceid()_ function returns the trace ID stored in
the trace file metadata associated with _handle_. Each peer from a trace
session has an ID unique for that peer and that trace session only.
This ID is used to match multiple trace files recorded in a same trace
session.
The _tracecmd_get_guest_cpumap()_ function gets the mapping of guest
virtual CPUs (VCPU) to the host process that represents those VCPUs and is
stored in the metadata of the trace file associated with _handle_. This
information is gathered during a host-guest trace session and is stored
in the host trace file. The _trace_id_ parameter is the trace ID of the guest
in this particular trace session. If a guest with that ID was part of that
session, its VCPU to host process mapping is in the host trace file and the
information is returned in _name_, _vcpu_count_ and _cpu_pid_ parameters.
The _name_ parameter contains the name of the guest, the _vcpu_count_ contains
the count of VCPUs of that guest and the _cpu_pid_ array contains the VCPU to
host process mapping. The array is of size _vcpu_count_ where the index is VCPU
and the value is the process ID (PID) of the host process, running that VCPU.
The _name_, _vcpu_count_ and _cpu_pid_ values must *not* be freed.
RETURN VALUE
------------
The _tracecmd_get_traceid()_ function returns a 64 bit trace ID.
The _tracecmd_get_guest_cpumap()_ function returns -1 in case of
an error or 0 otherwise. If 0 is returned, then the _name_, _vcpu_count_
and _cpu_pid_ parameters contain the requested information.
EXAMPLE
-------
[source,c]
--
#include <trace-cmd.h>
...
struct tracecmd_input *host = tracecmd_open("trace.dat");
if (!host) {
/* Failed to open host trace file */
}
struct tracecmd_input *guest1 = tracecmd_open_head("trace-Guest1.dat");
if (!guest1) {
/* Failed to open guest1 trace file */
}
struct tracecmd_input *guest2 = tracecmd_open_head("trace-Guest2.dat");
if (!guest2) {
/* Failed to open guest2 trace file */
}
unsigned long long guest_id_1 = tracecmd_get_traceid(guest1);
unsigned long long guest_id_2 = tracecmd_get_traceid(guest2);
int *cpu_pid_1, *cpu_pid_2;
int vcount_1, vcount_2;
char *name_1, *name_2;
if (!tracecmd_get_guest_cpumap(host, guest_id_1, &name_1, &vcount_1, &cpu_pid_1)) {
/* The Host and a guest1 with name_1 are part of the same trace session.
* Got guest1 VCPU to host PID mapping.
*/
}
if (!tracecmd_get_guest_cpumap(host, guest_id_2, &name_2, &vcount_2, &cpu_pid_2)) {
/* The Host and a guest2 with name_2 are part of the same trace session.
* Got guest2 VCPU to host PID mapping.
*/
}
...
tracecmd_close(guest1);
tracecmd_close(guest2);
tracecmd_close(handle);
