Stefan Hajnoczi 15327c3df0 simpletrace: add simpletrace.py --no-header option
It can be useful to read simpletrace files that have no header.  For
example, a ring buffer may not have a header record but can still be
processed if the user is sure the file format version is compatible.

  $ scripts/simpletrace.py --no-header trace-events trace-file

Stefan Hajnoczi 80ff35cd3f simpletrace: add support for trace record pid field
Extract the pid field from the trace record and print it.

Change the trace record tuple from:
  (event_num, timestamp, arg1, ..., arg6)
to:
  (event_num, timestamp, pid, arg1, ..., arg6)

Trace event methods now support 3 prototypes:
1. <event-name>(arg1, arg2, arg3)
2. <event-name>(timestamp, arg1, arg2, arg3)
3. <event-name>(timestamp, pid, arg1, arg2, arg3)

Existing script continue to work without changes, they only know about
prototypes 1 and 2.

Lluís Vilanova 1dad2ce973 trace: [tracetool] Minimize the amount of per-backend code
Backends now only contain the essential backend-specific code, and most of the work is moved to frontend code.

Stefan Hajnoczi d8e8ef4ee0 simpletrace: fix process() argument count
The simpletrace.process() function invokes analyzer methods with the
wrong number of arguments if a timestamp should be included.  This patch
fixes the issue so that trace analysis scripts can make use of
timestamps.

Stefan Hajnoczi 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).

Stefan Hajnoczi 59da668492 simpletrace: Make simpletrace.py a Python module
The simpletrace.py script pretty-prints a binary trace file.  Most of
the code can be reused by trace file analysis scripts, so turn it into a
module.

Here is an example script that uses the new simpletrace module:

  #!/usr/bin/env python
  # Print virtqueue elements that were never returned to the guest.

  import simpletrace

  class VirtqueueRequestTracker(simpletrace.Analyzer):
      def __init__(self):
          self.elems = set()

      def virtqueue_pop(self, vq, elem, in_num, out_num):
          self.elems.add(elem)

      def virtqueue_fill(self, vq, elem, length, idx):
          self.elems.remove(elem)

      def end(self):
          for elem in self.elems:
              print hex(elem)

  simpletrace.run(VirtqueueRequestTracker())

The simpletrace API is based around the Analyzer class.  Users implement
an analyzer subclass and add methods for trace events they want to
process.  A catchall() method is invoked for trace events which do not
have dedicated methods.  Finally, there are also begin() and end()
methods like in sed that can be used to perform setup or print
statistics at the end.

A binary trace file is processed either with:

  simpletrace.run(analyzer) # uses command-line args

or with:

  simpletrace.process('path/to/trace-events',
                      'path/to/trace-file',
                      analyzer)
