The declarations in the generated-tracers.h file are
assuming there's only ever going to be one instance
of this header, as they are not namespaced. When we
have one header per event group, if a single source
file needs to include multiple sets of trace events,
the symbols will all clash.
This change thus introduces a '--group NAME' arg to the
'tracetool' program. This will cause all the symbols in
the generated header files to be given a unique namespace.
If no group is given, the group name 'common' is used,
which is suitable for the current usage where there is
only one global trace-events file used for code generation.

Currently simpletrace assumes that events are given IDs
starting from 0, based on the order in which they appear
in the trace-events file, with no gaps. When the
trace-events file is split up, this assumption becomes
problematic.
To deal with this, extend the simpletrace format so that
it outputs a table of event name <-> ID mappings. That
will allow QEMU to assign arbitrary IDs to events without
breaking simpletrace parsing.
The v3 simple trace format was
FILE HEADER
EVENT TRACE RECORD 0
EVENT TRACE RECORD 1
...
EVENT TRACE RECORD N
The v4 simple trace format is now
FILE HEADER
EVENT MAPPING RECORD 0
EVENT MAPPING RECORD 1
...
EVENT MAPPING RECORD M
EVENT TRACE RECORD RECORD 0
EVENT TRACE RECORD RECORD 1
...
EVENT TRACE RECORD N
Although this shows all the mapping records being emitted
upfront, this is not required by the format. While the main
simpletrace backend will emit all mappings at startup,
the systemtap simpletrace.stp script will emit the mappings
at first use. eg
FILE HEADER
...
EVENT MAPPING RECORD 0
EVENT TRACE RECORD RECORD 0
EVENT TRACE RECORD RECORD 1
EVENT MAPPING RECORD 1
EVENT TRACE RECORD RECORD 2
...
EVENT TRACE RECORD N
This is more space efficient given that most trace records
only include a subset of events.
In modifying the systemtap simpletrace code, a 'begin' probe
was added to emit the trace event header, so you no longer
need to add '--no-header' when running simpletrace.py for
systemtap generated trace files.

The TraceEventID and TraceEventVCPUID enums constants are
no longer actually used for anything critical.
The TRACE_EVENT_COUNT limit is used to determine the size
of the TraceEvents array, and can be removed if we just
NULL terminate the array instead.
The TRACE_VCPU_EVENT_COUNT limit is used as a magic value
for marking non-vCPU events, and also for declaring the
size of the trace dstate mask in the CPUState struct.
The former usage can be replaced by a dedicated constant
TRACE_EVENT_VCPU_NONE, defined as (uint32_t)-1. For the
latter usage, we can simply define a constant for the
number of VCPUs, avoiding the need for the full enum.
The only other usages of the enum values can be replaced
by accesing the id/vcpu_id fields via the named TraceEvent
structs.

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.

Uses tracetool to generate a backend-independent tracing event description
(struct TraceEvent).
The values for such structure are generated with the non-public "events"
backend ("events-c" frontend).
The generation of the defines to check if an event is statically enabled is also
moved to the "events" backend ("events-h" frontend).

Over time various systemtap reserved words have been blacklisted
in the trace backend generator. The list is not complete though,
so there is continued risk of problems in the future. Preempt
such problems by specifying the full list of systemtap keywords

Existing simpletrace backend allows to trace at max 6 args and does not
support strings. This newer tracelog format gets rid of fixed size records
and therefore allows to trace variable number of args including strings.
Sample trace with strings:
v9fs_version 0.000 tag=0xffff id=0x64 msize=0x2000 version=9P2000.L
v9fs_version_return 6.705 tag=0xffff id=0x64 msize=0x2000 version=9P2000.L

The str.rpartition() function is related to str.split() and is used for

Language keywords cannot be used as argument names. The DTrace backend
appends an underscore to the argument name in order to make the argument
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.

It has happened more than once that patches that look perfectly sane
and work with simpletrace broke systemtap because they use 'next' as an
argument name for a tracing function. However, 'next' is a keyword for
systemtap, so we shouldn't use it.

* stefanha/tracing:
tracetool: dtrace: handle in and next reserved words
tracetool: dtrace disabled-events fix
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).

SystemTap provides a "semaphore" that can optionally be tested before
executing a trace event. The purpose of this mechanism is to skip
expensive tracing code when the trace event is disabled.
For example, some applications may have trace events that format or
convert strings for trace events. This expensive processing should only
be done in the case where the trace event is enabled.
Since QEMU's generated trace events never have such special-purpose
code, there is no reason to add the semaphore check.

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.

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.
