Abstract
Cache-based tracing based on categorizing memory regions as being logged or not logged. A computer system identifies a first memory region within a first memory space of a first context, and determines that the first context is in a logging state. The computer system configures a data structure to categorize the first memory region as being logged. The data structure also categorizes a second memory region corresponding to a second context as being not logged. The computer system exposes the data structure to a processor. Upon detecting a memory access by a processing unit, the processor uses determinations of one or more of (i) whether a target memory address is categorized as being logged or not logged, (ii) whether an executing context is logging or not non-logging, or (iii) a type of the memory access to initiate a logging action or refrain from the logging action.
