qemu-log: default to stderr for logging output

Commit Message

Peter Maydell Feb. 12, 2013, 5:33 p.m. UTC
Switch the default for qemu_log logging output from "/tmp/qemu.log"
to stderr. This is an incompatible change in some sense, but logging
is mostly used for debugging purposes so it shouldn't affect production
use. The previous behaviour can be obtained by adding "-D /tmp/qemu.log"
to the command line.

This change requires us to:
 * update all the documentation/help text
 * make linux-user and bsd-user defer to qemu-log for the default
   logging destination rather than overriding it themselves
 * ensure that all logfile closing is done via qemu_log_close()
   and that that function doesn't close stderr
as well as the obvious change to the behaviour of do_qemu_set_log()
when no logfile name has been specified.

Stefan suggested that qemu_log should default to stderr, and I
agree that it makes more sense than a random file in /tmp/.
As noted in the commit message, this is technically an incompatible
change.

This patchset sits on top of my recent 6 patch qemu_log
cleanup series.

I don't think this change is okay, it should be limited to the softmmus.
Having random debug output appear on stderr may well break linux-user
test suites or use cases.

But only when you pass in -d, no?

Debug output will only appear on stderr if you asked for it by
passing -d something. This isn't any different to the softmmu
case (where it is also the case that random debug output might
break things, and also that you won't get it unless you ask).

I agree that it might break weird use cases (where you're running
some existing scripted usecase with debug logging enabled for some
reason); the tradeoff for those people having to tweak their script
to add "-D /tmp/qemu.log" is that we make things better for the
common user who mostly doesn't run with debug but who can now run
with '-d unimp,guest_errors' and get those messages usefully
interspersed with guest output.

I was thinking of default options, so if nothing gets printed by default
that's okay with me.

Yep. If we ever add a -d logcategory which we want to have enabled
by default we'll have to rejig things, because at the moment
there are some users of the API which log things with no category
[relying on the fact that unless the user specifies some -d option
then no logging happens at all and so uncategorised log messages
aren't printed either], and we'd need to move them all to some kind
of "misc rubbish" category so they didn't appear by default. But I
can't actually think of a log category we'd want to have defaulting
to enabled anyway...

No need to mention the default twice.

Pointing to -d help would be nice.

Doesn't qemu_set_log_filename(NULL) do the right thing?

bsd-user: if there's more than one -D, all but the last get silently
ignored.  We create that log file when logging is enabled.

linux-user: we create all the log files when logging is enabled.

No biggie, but consistency would be nice.  I prefer bsd-user's behavior.

Pointing to -d help would be nice.

    "-D logfile      output log to logfile (default stderr)\n",

would be more consistent with the rest of the help text.

Possible future work: reconsider the liberal use of inline in log.h.

Extra points for tracking down obscure occurences of -d and
/tmp/qemu.log.

Since all my comments can be addressed on top:

Yeah. I'll standardise the phrasing here bsd-user, linux-user
and system mode all say
           "-d item1[,...]    enable logging of specified items\n"
           "                  (use '-d help' for a list of log items)\n"

Yes, it does. I'll drop this hunk.

I agree, but I think changing the linux-user behaviour to
match bsd-user should be a separate patch.
