This property identifies events that trace vCPU-specific information.
It adds a "CPUState*" argument to events with the property, identifying
the vCPU raising the event. TCG translation events also have a
"TCGv_env" implicit argument that is later used as the "CPUState*"
argument at execution time.

When user used the trace print command from docs/tracing.txt:
./scripts/simpletrace.py trace-events trace-*
the user maybe be misled by the "trace-*", because if user
directly copy the comand line to run, there alway print the
bored message:
"usage: ./scripts/simpletrace.py <trace-events> <trace-file>"
then we should describe that the "trace-*" represented.

Adds support to compile QEMU with multiple tracing backends at the same time.
For example, you can compile QEMU with:
$ ./configure --enable-trace-backends=ftrace,dtrace
Where 'ftrace' can be handy for having an in-flight record of events, and 'dtrace' can be later used to extract more information from the system.
This patch allows having both available without recompiling QEMU.

Adds a 'TRACE_${NAME}_ENABLED' preprocessor define for each tracing event in
"trace.h".
This lets the user conditionally compile code with a relatively high execution
cost that is only necessary when producing the tracing information for an event
that is enabled.
Note that events using this define will probably have the "disable" property by
default, in order to avoid such costs on regular builds.

A basic wildcard matching is supported in both the monitor command
"trace-event" and the events list file. That means you can enable/disable
the events having a common prefix in a batch. For example, virtio-blk trace
events could be enabled using:
trace-event virtio_blk_* on

String arguments are useful for producing human-readable traces without
post-processing (e.g. stderr backend). Although the simple backend
cannot handles strings all others can. Strings should be allowed and
the simple backend can be extended to support them.

The tracetool parser only picks up PRI*64 and other format string macros
when enclosed between double quoted strings. Lift this restriction by
extracting everything after the closing ')' as the format string:
cpu_set_apic_base(uint64_t val) "%016"PRIx64
^^ ^^
One trick here: it turns out that backslashes in the format string like
"\n" were being interpreted by echo(1). Fix this by using the POSIX
printf(1) command instead. Although it normally does not make sense to
include backslashes in trace event format strings, an injected newline
causes tracetool to emit a broken header file and I want to eliminate
cases where broken output is emitted, even if the input was bad.

The "-trace events" argument can be used to provide a file with a list of trace
event names that will be enabled prior to starting execution, thus providing
early tracing.
This saves the user from manually toggling event states through the monitor
interface or whichever backend-specific interface.

Trace events outside the global mutex cannot be used with the simple
trace backend since it is not thread-safe. There is no check to prevent
them being enabled so people sometimes learn this the hard way.
This patch restructures the simple trace backend with a ring buffer
suitable for multiple concurrent writers. A writeout thread empties the
trace buffer when threshold fill levels are reached. Should the
writeout thread be unable to keep up with trace generation, records will
simply be dropped.
Each time events are dropped a special record is written to the trace
file indicating how many events were dropped. The event ID is
0xfffffffffffffffe and its signature is dropped(uint32_t count).
