80dd5c4918 trace: introduce a formal group name for trace events
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.

99672c7167 trace: remove duplicate control.h includes in generated-tracers.h
The format/h.py file adds an include for control.h to
generated-tracers.h. ftrace, log and syslog, then
add more duplicate includes for control.h.

40b9cd25f7 trace: Conditionally trace events based on their per-vCPU state
Events with the 'vcpu' property are conditionally emitted according to
their per-vCPU state. Other events are emitted normally based on their
global tracing state.

Note that the per-vCPU condition check applies to all tracing backends.

1dad2ce973 trace: [tracetool] Minimize the amount of per-backend code
Backends now only contain the essential backend-specific code, and most of the work is moved to frontend code.

781e9545db trace: Add ftrace tracing backend
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
