摘要:
In a data processing system, a marked bit is used to identify a data access instruction throughout the pipeline to indicate that the instruction meets user-specified criteria (e.g., a meets a data address range of interest). Based on the marked bit, an in-order program correlation message is generated which indicates when the data access instruction occurs relative to the instruction stream. The marked bit is also used to generate an in-order data trace message. As a result, the trace streams including only data access instructions meeting user-specified criteria may be post-processed and correlated precisely.
