This new tracetool "format" generates a SystemTap .stp file that outputs
simpletrace binary trace data.
In contrast to simpletrace or ftrace, SystemTap does not define its own
trace format. All output from SystemTap is generated by .stp files.
This patch lets us generate a .stp file that outputs in the simpletrace
binary format.
This makes it possible to reuse simpletrace.py to analyze traces
recorded using SystemTap. The simpletrace binary format is especially
useful for long-running traces like flight-recorder mode where string
formatting can be expensive.

For example, you can compile QEMU with:

The trace-events "disable" keyword turns an event into a nop at
compile-time. This is important for high-frequency events that can
impact performance.
The "disable" keyword is currently broken in the simple trace backend.
This patch fixes the problem as follows:
Trace events are identified by their TraceEventID number. When events
are disabled there are two options for assigning TraceEventID numbers:
1. Skip disabled events and don't assign them a number.
2. Assign numbers for all events regardless of the disabled keyword.
The simple trace backend and its binary file format uses approach #1.
The tracetool infrastructure has been using approach #2 for a while.
The result is that the numbers used in simple trace files do not
correspond with TraceEventIDs. In trace/simple.c we assumed that they
are identical and therefore emitted bogus numbers.
This patch fixes the bug by using TraceEventID for trace_event_id()
while sticking to approach #1 for simple trace file numbers. This
preserves simple trace file format compatibility.

This patch adds a ftrace tracing backend which sends trace event to
ftrace marker file. You can effectively compare qemu trace data and
kernel(especially, kvm.ko when using KVM) trace data.
The ftrace backend is restricted to Linux only.
To try out the ftrace backend:
$ ./configure --trace-backend=ftrace
$ make
if you use KVM, enable kvm events in ftrace:
# sudo echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kvm/enable
After running qemu by root user, you can get the trace:
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace

Language keywords cannot be used as argument names. The DTrace backend

name legal.
This patch adds 'in', 'next', and 'self' keywords to dtrace.py.
Also drop the unnecessary argument name lstrip() call. The
Arguments.build() method already ensures there is no space around
argument names. Furthermore it is misleading to do the lstrip() *after*
checking against keywords because the keyword check would not match if
spaces were in the name.

The tracetool script is written in shell and has hit several portability
problems due to shell quirks or external tools across host platforms.
Additionally the amount of string processing and lack of real data
structures makes it tough to implement code generator backends for
tracers that are more complex.
This patch replaces the shell version of tracetool with a Python
version. The new tracetool design is:
scripts/tracetool.py - top-level script
scripts/tracetool/backend/ - tracer backends live here (simple, ust)
scripts/tracetool/format/ - output formats live here (.c, .h)
There is common code for trace-events definition parsing so that
backends can focus on generating code rather than parsing input.
Support for all existing backends (nop, stderr, simple, ust,
and dtrace) is added back in follow-up patches.

Makefile.target: code stp dependency on trace-events
Some locale settings let make fail or create wrong results
because tr '[:lower:]' '[:upper:]' which is used to convert
from lower to upper case depends on the locale.
With locale tr_TR.UTF-8, lower case 'i' is not converted to 'I'.
This results in wrong entries in config-host.h like these ones:
#define CONFIG_QEMU_PREFiX "/usr/local"
#define CONFIG_QEMU_BiNDiR "/usr/local/bin"
This problem was reported by Emre Ersin.
The same problem occurs when configure creates the target specific
files config-target.mak. They get wrong declarations:
TARGET_CRiS=y
TARGET_i386=y
TARGET_MiCROBLAZE=y
TARGET_MiPS64=y
TARGET_MiPS=y
TARGET_UNiCORE32=y
It is sufficient to restrict the conversion to the characters a-z.
Using this explicit range avoids the dependency on the locale
settings and is also shorter.
v2:
POSIX says that 'tr a-z' is unspecified outside of the POSIX
locale, so we must set LC_ALL=C to make sure that we are using
POSIX (hint from Eric Blake, thanks).
