=head1 NAME

xentrace - capture Xen trace buffer data

=head1 SYNOPSIS

B<xentrace> [ I<OPTIONS> ] [ I<FILE> ]

=head1 DESCRIPTION

B<xentrace> is used to capture trace buffer data from Xen.  The data is
output in the following binary format (host endian):

    CPU(uint) TSC(u64) EVENT(u32) D1 D2 D3 D4 D5 (all u32)

Where CPU is the processor number, TSC is the record's timestamp
(the value of the CPU cycle counter), EVENT is the event ID and
D1...D5 are the trace data.

Data is dumped onto the standard output (which must not be a TTY) or a
I<FILE> specified on the command line.

The output should be parsed using the tool xenalyze, which can
produce human-readable output in ASCII format.


=head1 OPTIONS

=over 4

=item B<-t> I<l>, B<--log-thresh>=I<l>

set the threshold number, I<l>, of new records required to trigger a write of
all new records to the output

=item B<-s> I<p>, B<--poll-sleep>=I<p>

set the time, I<p>, (in milliseconds) to sleep between polling the buffers
for new data.

=item B<-c> [I<c>|I<CPU-LIST>|I<all>], B<--cpu-mask>=[I<c>|I<CPU-LIST>|I<all>]

This can be: a hex value (of the form 0xNNNN...), or a set of cpu
ranges as described below, or the string I<all>. Hex values are limited
to 32 bits. If not specified, the cpu-mask as set during bootup will be
constructed. If using the I<CPU-LIST> it expects decimal numbers, which
may be specified as follows:

  "0-3"
      Trace only on CPUs 0 through 3

  "0,2,5-7"
      Trace only on CPUs 0, 2, and 5 through 7

  "-3"
      Trace only on CPUs 0 through 3

  "-3,7"
      Trace only on CPUs 0 through 3 and 7

  "3-"
      Trace only on CPUs 3 up to maximum numbers of CPUs the host has

If using I<all> it will use all of the CPUs the host has.

=item B<-e> I<mask>, B<--evt-mask>=I<mask>

set event capture mask. If not specified the TRC_ALL will be used.

=item B<-?>, B<--help>

Give a short usage message

=item B<-V>, B<--version>

Print program version

=head2 Event Classes (Masks)

The following event classes (masks) can be used to filter the events being
gathered by xentrace:

        ID                  Description

        0x0001f000          TRC_GEN
        0x0002f000          TRC_SCHED

        0x0010f000          TRC_MEM
        0xfffff000          TRC_ALL


=head2 Event Subclasses (More Masks)

The following event subclasses (masks) can also be used to filter the events being
gathered by xentrace:

        ID                  Description

        0x00081000          TRC_HVM_ENTRYEXIT
        0x00082000          TRC_HVM_HANDLER


=head2 Events

B<xentrace> collects the following events from the trace buffer:
