Subject: [PATCH trace-cmd V5 0/6] perf-probe: Bugfix and add new options for
 cache

Hi,

This is the version 5 series of virtio-trace for trace-cmd.
The previous series is here; https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/7/10/747 

I took over this work from Yoshihiro Yunomae. This version includes
some fixes.
 - Add -N support for extract subcommand(1/6).
 - As Steven suggested, this send "-1V2\0<MAGIC>\0" instead
   of "V2\0<MAGIC>\0" at first.
 - Add a document of Protocol change in Documentation/Protocol.txt.
   (Now all the protocol descriptions are moved into that)
 - Cleanup the code and document a bit.

How to use
==========
1. Run virt-server on a host
   # trace-cmd virt-server --dom guest1 -c 2

2. Set up of virtio-serial pipe of guest1 on the host
   Add the following tags to domain XML files.
   # virsh edit guest1
   <channel type='unix'>
      <source mode='connect' path='/tmp/trace-cmd/virt/agent-ctl-path'/>
      <target type='virtio' name='agent-ctl-path'/>
   </channel>
   <channel type='pipe'>
      <source path='/tmp/trace-cmd/virt/guest1/trace-path-cpu0'/>
      <target type='virtio' name='trace-path-cpu0'/>
   </channel>
   <channel type='pipe'>
      <source path='/tmp/trace-cmd/virt/guest1/trace-path-cpu1'/>
      <target type='virtio' name='trace-path-cpu1'/>
   </channel>

3. Boot the guest
   # virsh start guest1

4. Run the guest1's client(see trace-cmd-record(1) with the *--virt* option)
   # trace-cmd record -e sched* --virt

If you want to boot another guest sends trace-data via virtio-serial,
you will manually make the guest domain directory and trace data I/Fs.

- Make guest domain directory on the host
   # mkdir -p /tmp/trace-cmd/virt/<DOMAIN>
   # chmod 710 /tmp/trace-cmd/virt/<DOMAIN>
   # chgrp qemu /tmp/trace-cmd/virt/<DOMAIN>

- Make FIFO on the host
   # mkfifo /tmp/trace-cmd/virt/<DOMAIN>/trace-path-cpu{0,1,...,X}.{in,out}

TODO
====
 - Don't use fixed directory and fifos. Make it flexible.
 - Don't depend on the libvirt. We can find fifos in /proc/<pid>/fd/*.
 - Cleanup the code. It is not well structured now.

Thank you,
