f871d6893a trace: print a warning if user tries to enable an unknown trace event
There was no warning if a bad trace event name was given to
'trace-event' command, thus the user could think that the command
was successful even if this was not the case.

Print a warning if the user tries to enable a trace event which is not
known.

c5ceb523fa trace: Add trace-file command to open/close/flush trace file
This patch adds the trace-file command:

  trace-file [on|off|flush]

  Open, close, or flush the trace file.  If no argument is given,
  the status of the trace file is displayed.

The trace file is turned on by default but is only written out when the
trace buffer becomes full.  The flush operation can be used to force
write out at any time.

Turning off the trace file does not change the state of trace events;
tracing will continue to the trace buffer.  When the trace file is off,
use "info trace" to display the contents of the trace buffer in memory.

    trace: Add options to specify trace file name at startup and runtime

    This patch adds an optional command line switch '-trace' to specify the
    filename to write traces to, when qemu starts.
    Eg, If compiled with the 'simple' trace backend,
    [temp@system]$ qemu -trace FILENAME IMAGE
    Allows the binary traces to be written to FILENAME instead of the option
    set at config-time.

    Also, this adds monitor sub-command 'set' to trace-file commands to
    dynamically change trace log file at runtime.
    Eg,
    (qemu)trace-file set FILENAME
    This allows one to set trace outputs to FILENAME from the default
    specified at startup.

22890ab5e8 trace: Support for dynamically enabling/disabling trace events
This patch adds support for dynamically enabling/disabling of trace events.
This is done by internally maintaining each trace event's state, and
permitting logging of data from a trace event only if it is in an
'active' state.

Monitor commands added :
1) info trace-events 		: to view all available trace events and
				  their state.
2) trace-event NAME on|off 	: to enable/disable data logging from a
				  given trace event.
				  Eg, trace-event paio_submit off
				  	disables logging of data when
					paio_submit is hit.

By default, all trace-events are disabled. One can enable desired trace-events
via the monitor.

trace: Remove monitor.h dependency from simpletrace

User-mode targets don't have a monitor so the simple trace backend
currently does not build on those targets.  This patch abstracts the
monitor printing interface so there is no direct coupling between
simpletrace and the monitor.

26f7227bfe trace: Add simple built-in tracing backend
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 event name

trace: Make trace record fields 64-bit

Explicitly use 64-bit fields in trace records so that timestamps and
magic numbers work for 32-bit host builds.
