trace_idx is always in the range [0, TRACE_BUF_LEN).  There is no need
to perform this test.

Whitespace "i=0; i<max_idx ;i++".  "i = 0; i < max_idx; i++" is pretty
common across QEMU.

Getting only numeric output is the limitation of a binary trace.  It
would probably be possible to pretty-print without much additional code
by using the format strings from the trace-events file.

I think the numeric dump is good for now though.  Hex is more compact
than decimal and would make pointers easier to spot.  Want to change
this?

qemu-common.h forward-declares Monitor, I don't think you need
monitor.h.

Hi Stefan, Jan,
Thanks for taking a look.

I only display the logged contents in the trace buffer (till trace_idx) 
, and not the entire trace buffer. Only when the index is full that the 
entire buffer is displayed.

I'll fix this.

I agree, but we can let this be a todo till after the first prototype 
goes upstream ?

Right.

I'll post patches by Monday that addresses your suggestions, and try to 
get it integrated with QMP.

Thanks for explaining, I understand what you are doing now.  Due to
this special case, the code will dump out the empty trace buffer if
used before anything has been traced (trace_idx=0).

I still vote for hex instead of decimal :).  Since you're already
spinning a new patch it would be nice to put that change in, but no
worries.

Excellent, thanks.  I'd like to put your patches onto my tracing
branch soon and test out the overall workflow of tracing QEMU.
