This introduces a new tracing backend that targets the SystemTAP
implementation of DTrace userspace tracing. The core functionality
should be applicable and standard across any DTrace implementation
on Solaris, OS-X, *BSD, but the Makefile rules will likely need
some small additional changes to cope with OS specific build
requirements.
This backend builds a little differently from the other tracing
backends. Specifically there is no 'trace.c' file, because the
'dtrace' command line tool generates a '.o' file directly from
the dtrace probe definition file. The probe definition is usually
named with a '.d' extension but QEMU uses '.d' files for its
external makefile dependancy tracking, so this uses '.dtrace' as
the extension for the probe definition file.
The 'tracetool' program gains the ability to generate a trace.h
file for DTrace, and also to generate the trace.d file containing
the dtrace probe definition.
Example usage of a dtrace probe in systemtap looks like:
probe process("qemu").mark("qemu_malloc") {
printf("Malloc %d %p\n", $arg1, $arg2);
}
* .gitignore: Ignore trace-dtrace.*
* Makefile: Extra rules for generating DTrace files
* Makefile.obj: Don't build trace.o for DTrace, use
trace-dtrace.o generated by 'dtrace' instead
* tracetool: Support for generating DTrace data files

Timestamp files were recently added to reduce make churn on source files
that use tracing. The timestamp files should never be committed and
should not be visible in git status.

This patch adds a simple tracer which produces binary trace files. To
try out the simple backend:
$ ./configure --trace-backend=simple
$ make
After running QEMU you can pretty-print the trace:
$ ./simpletrace.py trace-events trace.log
The output of simpletrace.py looks like this:
qemu_realloc 0.699 ptr=0x24363f0 size=0x3 newptr=0x24363f0
qemu_free 0.768 ptr=0x24363f0
^ ^---- timestamp delta (us)

trace: Make trace record fields 64-bit
Explicitly use 64-bit fields in trace records so that timestamps and

This patch introduces the trace-events file where trace events can be
declared like so:
qemu_malloc(size_t size) "size %zu"
qemu_free(void *ptr) "ptr %p"
These trace event declarations are processed by a new tool called
tracetool to generate code for the trace events. Trace event
declarations are independent of the backend tracing system (LTTng User
Space Tracing, ftrace markers, DTrace).
The default "nop" backend generates empty trace event functions.
Therefore trace events are disabled by default.
The trace-events file serves two purposes:
1. Adding trace events is easy. It is not necessary to understand the
details of a backend tracing system. The trace-events file is a
single location where trace events can be declared without code
duplication.
2. QEMU is not tightly coupled to one particular backend tracing system.
In order to support tracing across QEMU host platforms and to
anticipate new backend tracing systems that are currently maturing,
it is important to be flexible and not tied to one system.

Makefile already supported dvi, html and info formats,
but pdf was missing.
pdf is especially convenient for printing and for
documentation reviews. I hope it will help to
improve qemu's documentation.
Make now supports the new target 'pdf' which will
create qemu-doc.pdf and qemu-tech.pdf. It is also
possible to build both files individually.
texi2pdf and texi2dvi are rather noisy, so normally
some less important warnings are suppressed.
When make is called with V=1 (verbose mode),
warnings are not suppressed.
The patch also sorts the documentation targets
alphabetically and wraps a line which was too long.

This has the side-effect of adding 'check' to this list of commands in

The only target dependency for most hardware is sizeof(target_phys_addr_t).
Build these files into a convenience library, and use that instead of
building for every target.
Remove and poison various target specific macros to avoid bogus target
dependencies creeping back in.
Big/Little endian is not handled because devices should not know or care
about this to start with.
