Title: Processor trace unit which uses a sequential trace index to identify trace entries associated with speculative execution
Inventor: HORLEY JOHN MICHAEL
IPC: G06F9/38
Filed: 2010-06-21
Abstract: A trace unit generates processor trace data to assist in the debugging of programs running on the processor. Each trace entry is associated with an index value. The index values form a predetermined sequence and may be stored with the trace entries. When the processor speculatively executes a series of instructions, the trace unit records the index value of the first and last trace entries associated with the instructions. The index value of the last entry may be stored relative to the index value of the first entry. If the instructions are then cancelled, the trace unit deletes the corresponding trace entries. The trace unit does not output the trace entries until the instructions have been committed. The trace unit may merge groups of instructions if the processor indicates that one group will be executed if and only if another group is executed.
