Abstract
A system comprising a processor core adapted to execute software code and a trace logic coupled to the processor core and comprising a storage. The storage comprises at least one bit that indicates a condition and status information. The trace logic generates a trace information stream associated with the processor core as the core executes the software code. If the condition is satisfied, the trace logic adjusts a status of the trace stream in accordance with the status information.
