+Basic Block Vectors
+...................
+
+``contrib/plugins/bbv.c``
+
+The bbv plugin allows you to generate basic block vectors for use with the
+`SimPoint <https://cseweb.ucsd.edu/~calder/simpoint/>`__ analysis tool.
+
+.. list-table:: Basic block vectors arguments
+  :widths: 20 80
+  :header-rows: 1
+
+  * - Option
+    - Description
+  * - interval=N
+    - The interval to generate a basic block vector specified by the number of
+      instructions (Default: N = 100000000)
+  * - outfile=PATH
+    - The path to output files.
+      It will be suffixed with ``.N.bb`` where ``N`` is a vCPU index.
+
+Example::
+
+  $ qemu-aarch64 \
+    -plugin contrib/plugins/libbbv.so,interval=100,outfile=sha1 \
+    tests/tcg/aarch64-linux-user/sha1
+  SHA1=15dd99a1991e0b3826fede3deffc1feba42278e6
