Abstract

A computer system that records a replayable execution trace based on recording cache coherency protocol (CCP) messages into a first trace, and on recording memory snapshot(s) into a second trace. Based on determining that tracing of execution of a first execution context is to be enabled, the computer system initiates logging, into the second trace, of one or more memory snapshots of a memory space of the first execution context, and enables a hardware tracing feature of a processor. Enabling the tracing feature causes the processor to log, into the first trace, CCP message(s) generated in response to one or more memory access into the memory space of the first execution context. After enabling the hardware tracing feature of the processor, the computer system also logs or otherwise handles a write into the memory space of the first execution context by a second execution context.
