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()
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.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 ships Python 2.4.3. The all() function was
added in Python 2.5 so we cannot use it.

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.

The pkgutil.iter_modules() function provides a way to enumerate child
modules. Unfortunately it's missing in Python <2.7 so we must implement
similar behavior ourselves.

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.
