Only one existing trace event uses a floating point type. Unfortunately
float and double cannot be supported since SystemTap does not have
floating point types.
Remove float and double from the whitelist and document this limitation.
Update the migrate_transferred trace event to use uint64_t instead of
double.

Some trace backends will compile code based on the declared trace
events. It should not be assumed that the backends can resolve any QEMU
specific typedefs. So trace events should restrict their argument
types to the standard C types and fixed size integer types. Any complex
pointer types can be declared as "void *" for purposes of trace events,
since nothing will be dereferencing these pointer arguments.

Using the greedy star matching, arguments like "...%"PRIx64 caused issues
for functions with multiple PRI formats.
The issue was only seen with the ust backend, as it is the only one
using the format regex.
The result for many functions was that the arguments coming after the
greedy star end was left out of the tracepoint, and in some cases some
of the arguments that was traced had the wrong format.

QEMU keeps track of trace event enabled/disabled state and provides
monitor commands to inspect and modify the "dstate". SystemTap and
LTTng UST maintain independent enabled/disabled states for each trace
event, the other backends rely on QEMU dstate.
Introduce a new per-event macro that combines backend-specific dstate
like this:
#define TRACE_MY_EVENT_BACKEND_DSTATE() ( \
QEMU_MY_EVENT_ENABLED() || /* SystemTap */ \
tracepoint_enabled(qemu, my_event) /* LTTng UST */ || \
false)
This will be used to extend trace_event_get_state() in the next patch.
[Daniel Berrange pointed out that QEMU_MY_EVENT_ENABLED() must be true
by default, not false. This way events will fire even if the DTrace
implementation does not implement the SystemTap semaphores feature.
Ubuntu Precise uses lttng-ust-dev 2.0.2 which does not have
tracepoint_enabled(), so we need a compatibility wrapper to keep Travis
builds passing.

fixup! trace: add TRACE_<event>_BACKEND_DSTATE()
If an event is dynamically disabled, the TCG code that calls the
execution-time tracer is not generated.
Removes the overheads of execution-time tracers for dynamically disabled
events. As a bonus, also avoids checking the event state when the
execution-time tracer is called from TCG-generated code (since otherwise
TCG would simply not call it).

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.

trace event. Record a pointer to this variable in the
TraceEvent struct too.
By turning trace_event_get_state_dynamic_by_id into a
macro, this still hits the fast path, and cache affinity
is ensured by declaring all the uint16 vars adjacent to
each other.

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.
