This introduces generation of a qemu.stp/qemu-system-XXX.stp
files which provides tapsets with friendly names for static
probes & their arguments. Instead of
probe process("qemu").mark("qemu_malloc") {
printf("Malloc %d %p\n", $arg1, $arg2);
}
It is now possible todo
probe qemu.system.i386.qemu_malloc {
printf("Malloc %d %p\n", size, ptr);
}
There is one tapset defined per target arch, for both
user and system emulators.
* Makefile.target: Generate stp files for each target
* tracetool: Support for generating systemtap tapsets
* configure: Check for whether systemtap is available
with the DTrace backend

This introduces a new tracing backend that targets the SystemTAP
implementation of DTrace userspace tracing. The core functionality
should be applicable and standard across any DTrace implementation
on Solaris, OS-X, *BSD, but the Makefile rules will likely need
some small additional changes to cope with OS specific build
requirements.
This backend builds a little differently from the other tracing
backends. Specifically there is no 'trace.c' file, because the
'dtrace' command line tool generates a '.o' file directly from
the dtrace probe definition file. The probe definition is usually
named with a '.d' extension but QEMU uses '.d' files for its
external makefile dependancy tracking, so this uses '.dtrace' as
the extension for the probe definition file.
The 'tracetool' program gains the ability to generate a trace.h
file for DTrace, and also to generate the trace.d file containing
the dtrace probe definition.
Example usage of a dtrace probe in systemtap looks like:
probe process("qemu").mark("qemu_malloc") {
printf("Malloc %d %p\n", $arg1, $arg2);
}
* .gitignore: Ignore trace-dtrace.*
* Makefile: Extra rules for generating DTrace files
* Makefile.obj: Don't build trace.o for DTrace, use
trace-dtrace.o generated by 'dtrace' instead
* tracetool: Support for generating DTrace data files

The LTTng UserSpace Tracer formerly used TPPROTO() and TPARGS() instead
of TP_PROTO() and TP_ARGS() like the kernel uses. This has been changed
so QEMU needs to follow.
I am not aware of a graceful way of making the transition but since no
one complained that the UST build is broken, it should be fine to just
switch over without compatibility for old UST headers. The newer UST
headers are shipping in distro packages so it is realistic to make this
change now.

Although comment lines must be skipped, the '#' character can occur in
valid format strings. Be more careful when checking for comments.
Leave comments at the end of the line where they will not interfere with
other processing.

This patch adds LTTng Userspace Tracer (UST) backend support. The UST
system requires no kernel support but libust and liburcu must be
installed.
$ ./configure --trace-backend ust
$ make
Start the UST daemon:
$ ustd &
List available tracepoints and enable some:
$ ustctl --list-markers $(pgrep qemu)
[...]
{PID: 5458, channel/marker: ust/paio_submit, state: 0, fmt: "acb %p
opaque %p sector_num %lu nb_sectors %lu type %lu" 0x4b32ba}
$ ustctl --enable-marker "ust/paio_submit" $(pgrep qemu)
Run the trace:
$ ustctl --create-trace $(pgrep qemu)
$ ustctl --start-trace $(pgrep qemu)
[...]
$ ustctl --stop-trace $(pgrep qemu)
$ ustctl --destroy-trace $(pgrep qemu)
Trace results can be viewed using lttv-gui.

Sometimes it is useful to disable a trace event. Removing the event
from trace-events is not enough since source code will call the
trace_*() function for the event.
This patch makes it easy to build without specific trace events by
marking them disabled in trace-events:
disable multiwrite_cb(void *mcb, int ret) "mcb %p ret %d"
This builds without the multiwrite_cb trace event.

trace: Allow bulk enabling/disabling of trace events at compile time
For 'simple' trace backend, allow bulk enabling/disabling of trace
events at compile time. Trace events that are preceded by 'disable'
keyword are compiled in, but turned off by default. These can
individually be turned on using the monitor. All other trace events are
enabled by default.
TODO :
This could be enhanced when the trace-event namespace is partitioned into a
group and an ID within that group. In such a case, marking a group as enabled
would automatically enable all trace-events listed under it.

This patch adds support for dynamically enabling/disabling of trace events.
This is done by internally maintaining each trace event's state, and
permitting logging of data from a trace event only if it is in an
'active' state.
Monitor commands added :
1) info trace-events : to view all available trace events and
their state.
2) trace-event NAME on|off : to enable/disable data logging from a
given trace event.
Eg, trace-event paio_submit off
disables logging of data when
paio_submit is hit.
By default, all trace-events are disabled. One can enable desired trace-events
via the monitor.

trace: Remove monitor.h dependency from simpletrace
User-mode targets don't have a monitor so the simple trace backend
currently does not build on those targets. This patch abstracts the
monitor printing interface so there is no direct coupling between
simpletrace and the monitor.

This patch adds a simple tracer which produces binary trace files. To
try out the simple backend:
$ ./configure --trace-backend=simple
$ make
After running QEMU you can pretty-print the trace:
$ ./simpletrace.py trace-events trace.log
The output of simpletrace.py looks like this:
qemu_realloc 0.699 ptr=0x24363f0 size=0x3 newptr=0x24363f0
qemu_free 0.768 ptr=0x24363f0

This patch introduces the trace-events file where trace events can be
declared like so:
qemu_malloc(size_t size) "size %zu"
qemu_free(void *ptr) "ptr %p"
These trace event declarations are processed by a new tool called
tracetool to generate code for the trace events. Trace event
declarations are independent of the backend tracing system (LTTng User
Space Tracing, ftrace markers, DTrace).
The default "nop" backend generates empty trace event functions.
Therefore trace events are disabled by default.
The trace-events file serves two purposes:
1. Adding trace events is easy. It is not necessary to understand the
details of a backend tracing system. The trace-events file is a
single location where trace events can be declared without code
duplication.
2. QEMU is not tightly coupled to one particular backend tracing system.
In order to support tracing across QEMU host platforms and to
anticipate new backend tracing systems that are currently maturing,
it is important to be flexible and not tied to one system.
This commit includes fixes from Prerna Saxena
<prerna@linux.vnet.ibm.com> and Blue Swirl <blauwirbel@gmail.com>.
