* A new format is required to generate definitions for ust tracepoints.
Files ust_events_h.py and ust_events_c.py define common macros, while
new function ust_events_h in events.py does the actual definition of
each tracepoint.
* ust.py generates the new interface for calling userspace tracepoints
with LTTng 2.x, replacing trace_name(args) to tracepoint(name, args).
* As explained in ust_events_c.py, -Wredundant-decls gives a warning
when compiling with gcc 4.7 or older. This is specific to lttng-ust so
for now use a pragma clause to avoid getting a warning.

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.

The header is not necessary, given that the simple backend does not define any
inlined tracing routines.

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

The backend is forced to dump event numbers using 64 bits, as TraceEventID is

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
listed in its parser as identified here:

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 pkgutil.iter_modules() function provides a way to enumerate child

similar behavior ourselves.

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.
