QEMU Tooling ([VIRT-252]) =========================

- thoughts after reviewing {Qemu-devel} {RFC PATCH v2 0/7} QEMU binary instrumentation prototype Message-Id: 152819515565.30857.16834004920507717324.stgit@pasha-ThinkPad-T60 - we want rich tooling but don't want to leak internals to plugins - the proposed helper per insn is pretty limited/hacky - I think we could expand exiting trace support with plugins - plugin hook to trace points - plugin either filters trace points or does in-situ analysis - existing trace infrastructure used to export data
