[libvirt] [PATCH v3 0/2] qemu: add debug-threads support

QEMU (somewhere around 2.0) added a new sub-option to the -name flag -name debug-threads=on This causes the naming of individual QEMU threads to be helpful; e.g. 'CPU/KVM 0' or 'migration' these show up in top once the H key is pressed, and also show up in a core dump, making it easy to figure out which thread is which. The following 2 patches add a capability check and enable debug-threads if supported. Related to: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1140121 cheers v2->v3: - move -name command generation in seperate function - fix syntax-check - fix leak v1->v2: - drop the configuration, enable debug-thread automatically Marc-André Lureau (2): qemu: check for debug-threads capability qemu: enable debug threads src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.c | 2 ++ src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.h | 1 + src/qemu/qemu_command.c | 40 ++++++++++++++++++++++------ tests/qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_2.1.1-1.caps | 1 + tests/qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_2.4.0-1.caps | 1 + tests/qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_2.5.0-1.caps | 1 + tests/qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_2.6.0-1.caps | 1 + 7 files changed, 39 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) -- 2.5.0

you can simplify the following code

to just virCommandAddArgBuffer(cmd, &buf);

ACK with that tweak. Jirka

Also needs a test case for argv generation... qemuxml2argv is the best place even though it's not XML specific - Cole
