913540a376 trace: allow PRI*64 at beginning and ending of format string
The tracetool parser only picks up PRI*64 and other format string macros
when enclosed between double quoted strings.  Lift this restriction by
extracting everything after the closing ')' as the format string:

  cpu_set_apic_base(uint64_t val) "%016"PRIx64
                                  ^^        ^^

One trick here: it turns out that backslashes in the format string like
"\n" were being interpreted by echo(1).  Fix this by using the POSIX
printf(1) command instead.  Although it normally does not make sense to
include backslashes in trace event format strings, an injected newline
causes tracetool to emit a broken header file and I want to eliminate
cases where broken output is emitted, even if the input was bad.

03727e6a06 trace: [simple] disable all trace points by default
Note that this refers to the backend-specific state (whether the output must be

23d15e860b trace: add "-trace events" argument to control initial state
The "-trace events" argument can be used to provide a file with a list of trace
event names that will be enabled prior to starting execution, thus providing
early tracing.

This saves the user from manually toggling event states through the monitor
interface or whichever backend-specific interface.

94527ead7e usb: add ehci adapter
This patch finally merges the EHCI host adapter aka USB 2.0 support.

Based on the ehci bits collected @ git://git.kiszka.org/qemu.git ehci

EHCI has a long out-of-tree history.  Project was started by Mark
Burkley, with contributions by Niels de Vos.  David S. Ahern continued
working on it.  Kevin Wolf, Jan Kiszka and Vincent Palatin contributed
bugfixes.

/me (Gerd Hoffmann) picked it up where it left off, prepared the code
for merge, fixed a few bugs and added basic user docs.

0b5538c300 simpletrace: Thread-safe tracing
Trace events outside the global mutex cannot be used with the simple
trace backend since it is not thread-safe.  There is no check to prevent
them being enabled so people sometimes learn this the hard way.

This patch restructures the simple trace backend with a ring buffer
suitable for multiple concurrent writers.  A writeout thread empties the
trace buffer when threshold fill levels are reached.  Should the
writeout thread be unable to keep up with trace generation, records will
simply be dropped.

Each time events are dropped a special record is written to the trace
file indicating how many events were dropped.  The event ID is
0xfffffffffffffffe and its signature is dropped(uint32_t count).
