    摘要: A processor is to execute and retire instructions for a virtual machine. A reload register is coupled to the core is to store a reload value. A performance monitoring counter (PMC) register is coupled to the reload register and an event-based sampler operatively is coupled to the reload register and the PMC register. The event-based sampler includes circuitry to load the reload value into the PMC register and increment the PMC register after detecting each occurrence of an event of a certain type as a result of execution of the instructions. Upon detecting an occurrence of the event after the PMC register reaches a predetermined trigger value, the event-based sampler is to execute microcode to generate field data for elements within a sampling record, wherein the field data relates to a current processor state of execution, and reload the reload value from the reload register into the PMC register.

    摘要: A processor includes a processor trace logical unit to produce branch execution records from execution of instructions. The processor further includes logic to determine that a condition has occurred on the processor during execution of the instructions. The condition is to include an asynchronous event or a return from a software handler for an asynchronous event. The processor further includes logic to determine whether event tracing is enabled for the processor. The processor also includes logic to generate a control flow event (CFE) packet. The CFE packet is to indicate a type of the condition. The processor further includes logic to generate an indicator of an instruction address that generated the condition.

    摘要: In an embodiment, a processor includes a core that is to include fetch logic to fetch instructions that include first instructions and a second instruction. The core also includes execution logic to execute the instructions. The execution logic is to retrieve an operand value that is one of an immediate value, a register value, and a memory value stored in a memory location, responsive to execution of the second instruction. The core also includes logic to output a packet that includes a representation of the operand value responsive to execution of the second instruction. The core also includes processor trace (PT) logic to generate a processor trace that includes a plurality of PT packets, where each PT packet correspond to an outcome of execution of a respective first instruction. The processor trace logic is further to include the packet within the processor trace. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    摘要: A processing device implementing tracking of deferred data packets in a debug trace architecture is disclosed. The processing device is to determine an order number corresponding to an order in which an instruction was executed relative to other executed instructions that correspond to an instruction type within a sequence of executed instructions, identify a first data packet corresponding to a first packet type and sequentially ordered, according to the order number, with respect to data packets of the first packet type within a data trace log, identify a second data packet corresponding to a second packet type and sequentially ordered, according to the order number, with respect to data packets of the second packet type within the data trace log, and map the identified first and second data packets to the instruction, wherein at least one of the first or second data packets was generated post-retirement of the instruction.
