Amos Kong b9c4b48d50 qapi: generate list struct and visit_list for enum
Currently, if we define an 'enum' and use it in one command's
data, list struct for enum could not be generated, but it's
used in qmp function.

For example: KeyCodesList could not be generated.
>>> qapi-schema.json:
{ 'enum': 'KeyCodes',
  'data': [ 'shift', 'alt' ... ] }
{ 'command': 'sendkey',
  'data': { 'keys': ['KeyCodes'], '*hold-time': 'int' } }

>>> qmp-command.h:
void qmp_sendkey(KeyCodesList * keys, bool has_hold_time, int64_t
hold_time, Error **errp);

This patch lets qapi generate list struct and visit_list for enum.

Eduardo Habkost c41cc50f66 create_config: remove *dir block
Now only the qemu_*dir variables will become #defines. The other
directory names aren't used by the C code.

That means the following #defines won't be available in C code anymore:

 - CONFIG_QEMU_BINDIR
 - CONFIG_QEMU_LIBDIR
 - CONFIG_QEMU_INCLUDEDIR
 - CONFIG_QEMU_MANDIR
 - CONFIG_QEMU_SYSCONFDIR
 - CONFIG_QEMU_LIBEXECDIR

The following #defines are going to be kept because they are handled by
the qemu_* block on create_config:

 - CONFIG_QEMU_CONFDIR
 - CONFIG_QEMU_DATADIR
 - CONFIG_QEMU_DOCDIR

This one will be kept because it is set directly by ./configure:

 - CONFIG_QEMU_HELPERDIR

This patch keeps the 'prefix=*' (CONFIG_QEMU_PREFIX) pattern because
other variables may use $prefix on their config-host.mak definitions.
The remaining code will be simplified on a further patch.

Stefan Hajnoczi 256a721d46 tracetool: handle DTrace keywords 'in', 'next', 'self'
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.

Lluís Vilanova 650ab98d1d tracetool: Rewrite infrastructure as python modules
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.

Jan Kiszka 0d6b9cc742 signrom: Rewrite as python script
Now that we have a hard dependency on python anyway, we can replace the
slow shell script to calculate the option ROM checksum with a fast AND
portable python version. Tested both with python 2.7 and 3.1.

Stefan Hajnoczi b3c09bde48 kvm: add flightrecorder script
The kvm kernel module includes a number of trace events which can be
useful when debugging system behavior.  Even on production systems these
trace events can be used to observe guest behavior and identify the
source of problems.

The kvm_flightrecorder script is a command-line wrapper for the
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing interface.  Kernel symbols do not need to be
installed.

This script captures a fixed-size buffer of KVM trace events.  Recent
events overwrite the oldest events when the buffer size is exceeded and
it is possible to leave KVM tracing enabled for any period of time with
just a fixed-size buffer.  If the buffer is large enough this script is
a useful tool for collecting detailed information after an issue occurs
with a guest.  Hence the name "flight recorder".

The script can also be used in 'tail' mode to simply view KVM trace
events as they occur.  This is handy for development and to ensure that
the guest is indeed running.

Kevin Wolf fa6b8733c9 tracetool: Forbid argument name 'next'
It has happened more than once that patches that look perfectly sane
and work with simpletrace broke systemtap because they use 'next' as an
argument name for a tracing function. However, 'next' is a keyword for
systemtap, so we shouldn't use it.
