A simple Intel processor trace decoder based on Intel's processor-trace library. It creates bundles of linked PIP, VMCS and TSC packets from a processor trace stream and saves them as as JSON file. Can probably be useful for analyzing VMs using hardware traces.
VMPT is dependent on processor-trace library and cmake v2.6+.
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake ../
$ make
Start multiple VMs on a Skylake machine and pin them to a single CPU. Get a processor trace snapshot and save it as snapshot.pt. Now generate the bundles with VMPT
$ ./vmpt snapshot.pt
$ less bundles.json
Original Copyright holder of processor trace library is Intel. Plese refer vmpt.c header.
