The timestamp argument to a trace event method is documented as follows:
The method can also take a timestamp argument before the trace event
arguments:
def runstate_set(self, timestamp, new_state):
...
Timestamps have the uint64_t type and are in nanoseconds.
In reality methods with a timestamp argument actually receive a tuple
like (123456789,) as the timestamp argument. This is due to a bug in
simpletrace.py.
This patch unpacks the tuple so that methods receive the correct
timestamp argument type.

The simpletrace.py script can pretty-print flight recorder ring buffers.
These are not full simpletrace binary trace files but just the end of a
trace file. There is no header and the event ID mapping information is
often unavailable since the ring buffer may have filled up and discarded
event ID mapping records.
The simpletrace.stp script that generates ring buffer traces uses the
same trace-events-all input file as simpletrace.py. Therefore both
scripts have the same global ordering of trace events. A dynamic event
ID mapping isn't necessary: just use the trace-events-all file as the
reference for how event IDs are numbered.
It is now possible to analyze simpletrace.stp ring buffers again using:
$ ./simpletrace.py trace-events-all path/to/ring-buffer

signature is a little magic because the timestamp and pid arguments are

Currently simpletrace assumes that events are given IDs
starting from 0, based on the order in which they appear
in the trace-events file, with no gaps. When the
trace-events file is split up, this assumption becomes
problematic.
To deal with this, extend the simpletrace format so that
it outputs a table of event name <-> ID mappings. That
will allow QEMU to assign arbitrary IDs to events without
breaking simpletrace parsing.
The v3 simple trace format was
FILE HEADER
EVENT TRACE RECORD 0
EVENT TRACE RECORD 1
...
EVENT TRACE RECORD N
The v4 simple trace format is now
FILE HEADER
EVENT MAPPING RECORD 0
EVENT MAPPING RECORD 1
...
EVENT MAPPING RECORD M
EVENT TRACE RECORD RECORD 0
EVENT TRACE RECORD RECORD 1
...
EVENT TRACE RECORD N
Although this shows all the mapping records being emitted
upfront, this is not required by the format. While the main
simpletrace backend will emit all mappings at startup,
the systemtap simpletrace.stp script will emit the mappings
at first use. eg
FILE HEADER
...
EVENT MAPPING RECORD 0
EVENT TRACE RECORD RECORD 0
EVENT TRACE RECORD RECORD 1
EVENT MAPPING RECORD 1
EVENT TRACE RECORD RECORD 2
...
EVENT TRACE RECORD N
This is more space efficient given that most trace records
only include a subset of events.
In modifying the systemtap simpletrace code, a 'begin' probe
was added to emit the trace event header, so you no longer
need to add '--no-header' when running simpletrace.py for
systemtap generated trace files.

It can be useful to read simpletrace files that have no header. For
example, a ring buffer may not have a header record but can still be
processed if the user is sure the file format version is compatible.

Extract the pid field from the trace record and print it.
Change the trace record tuple from:
(event_num, timestamp, arg1, ..., arg6)
to:
(event_num, timestamp, pid, arg1, ..., arg6)
Trace event methods now support 3 prototypes:
1. <event-name>(arg1, arg2, arg3)
2. <event-name>(timestamp, arg1, arg2, arg3)
3. <event-name>(timestamp, pid, arg1, arg2, arg3)
Existing script continue to work without changes, they only know about
prototypes 1 and 2.

Trace events outside the global mutex cannot be used with the simple
trace backend since it is not thread-safe. There is no check to prevent
them being enabled so people sometimes learn this the hard way.
This patch restructures the simple trace backend with a ring buffer
suitable for multiple concurrent writers. A writeout thread empties the
trace buffer when threshold fill levels are reached. Should the
writeout thread be unable to keep up with trace generation, records will
simply be dropped.
Each time events are dropped a special record is written to the trace
file indicating how many events were dropped. The event ID is
0xfffffffffffffffe and its signature is dropped(uint32_t count).

The simpletrace.py script pretty-prints a binary trace file. Most of
the code can be reused by trace file analysis scripts, so turn it into a
module.
Here is an example script that uses the new simpletrace module:
#!/usr/bin/env python
# Print virtqueue elements that were never returned to the guest.
import simpletrace
class VirtqueueRequestTracker(simpletrace.Analyzer):
def __init__(self):
self.elems = set()
def virtqueue_pop(self, vq, elem, in_num, out_num):
self.elems.add(elem)
def virtqueue_fill(self, vq, elem, length, idx):
self.elems.remove(elem)
def end(self):
for elem in self.elems:
print hex(elem)
simpletrace.run(VirtqueueRequestTracker())
The simpletrace API is based around the Analyzer class. Users implement
an analyzer subclass and add methods for trace events they want to
process. A catchall() method is invoked for trace events which do not
have dedicated methods. Finally, there are also begin() and end()
methods like in sed that can be used to perform setup or print
statistics at the end.
A binary trace file is processed either with:
simpletrace.run(analyzer) # uses command-line args
or with:
simpletrace.process('path/to/trace-events',
'path/to/trace-file',
analyzer)
