Log file

First number pair is a running index that could be used to group and indent the lines to improve readability.

Second string is combination of flags telling how action got processed:

I Info        -- informational line only R Raw         -- raw IO/MEMORY/CPU operation H Hardware    -- action was sent to target Q Qemu        -- action was sent to qemu U Undefined   -- action hit the fallback filter D Dropped     -- filter prevented sending action to target or qemu F Faked       -- filter modified the action on-the-fly

Third field is the instruction pointer [CS:EIP].

Remaining of the line describes the action.

A few examples:

Memory access, Raw + Qemu. Following is read of vector stored in the BIOS image file.

0000.0001   RQ.. [ffff000:fff0]  MEM,ROM_HI:  readb fffffff0 => ea   0000.0002    RQ.. [ffff000:fff0]  MEM,ROM_HI:  readw fffffff1 => e05b 0000.0003   RQ.. [ffff000:fff0]  MEM,ROM_HI:  readw fffffff3 => f000

PCI config read, Hardware. This is composed from either IO accesses to 0xcf8-0xcff or memory access to a specific PCI-e MM config region. Thus it is not Raw but a composed action.

0044.0046   .H.. [f000:f764]  PCI: 0:1e.0 [004] => 00

CPUID, Raw + Hard + Faked. CPUID was executed on the target, but the returned value was modified. In this case, it fakes CPU has a single core.

000d.000e   RH.F    [f000:e814]   CPUID: eax: 00000001; ecx: 00000000 => 00000f4a.00010800.0000649d.bfebfbff

RDMSR Raw + Hard and WRMSR Raw + Dropped. In this case, requst to do microcode update in target CPU is dropped as our serialice.rom image doesn't contain that binary.

0019.001a   RH.. [f000:e869]  CPU MSR: [00000017] => 00120000.00000000 001c.001d   R..D    [f000:e88e]   CPU MSR: [00000079] <= 00000000.fffdfc10
