[PATCH 0/5] trace: inroduce qmp: trace namespace

[Vladimir Sementsov-Ogievskiy]

Hi all!

We have handle_qmp_command and qmp_command_repond trace points to trace
qmp commands. They are very useful to debug problems involving
management tools like libvirt.

But tracing all qmp commands is too much.

Here I suggest a kind of tracing namespace. Formally this series adds a
trace points called qmp:<some-command> for every command, which may be
enabled in separate like

  --trace qmp:drive-backup

or by pattern like

  --trace qmp:block-job-*

or similarly with help of qmp command trace-event-set-state.

This also allows to enable tracing of some qmp commands permanently
 (by downstream patch or in libvirt xml). For example, I'm going to
enable tracing of block job comamnds and blockdev-* commands in
Virtuozzo. Qemu logs are often too empty (for example, in comparison
with Libvirt), logging block jobs is not too much but will be very
helpful.

Vladimir Sementsov-Ogievskiy (5):
  trace/control: introduce trace_opt_parse_opts()
  qapi/qmp: QmpCommand: add .tracing field and API
  monitor: add qmp tracing API for qmp_commands
  util/qemu-option: make qemu_opt_del_all() function public
  trace: add qmp trace event namespace
