418ed14268 trace: make the 'log' backend timestamp configurable
Timestamps in tracing output can be distracting. Make it possible to
control tid/timestamp printing with -msg timestamp=on|off. The default

9f4e519fd7 tracetool: fix "PRI" macro decoding
macro is not reset after use, so the format decoded is always the
one of the first "PRI" in the format string.

For instance:

  vhost_vdpa_set_config(void *dev, uint32_t offset, uint32_t size, \
                        uint32_t flags) "dev: %p offset: %"PRIu32" \
                        size: %"PRIu32" flags: 0x%"PRIx32

generates:

  printf("%d@%d vhost_vdpa_set_config dev: %p offset: %u size: %u \
          flags: 0x%u\n", pid(), gettimeofday_ns(), dev, offset, \
          size, flags)

for the "flags" parameter, we can see a "0x%u" rather than a "0x%x"
because the first macro was "PRIu32" (for offset).

In the loop, macro becomes "PRIu32PRIu32PRIx32", and c_macro_to_format()
returns always macro[3] ('u' in this case). This patch resets macro after
the format has been decoded.

7fb48c0ee1 tracetool: show trace-events filename/lineno in fmt string errors
The compiler encounters trace event format strings in generated code.
Format strings are error-prone and therefore clear compiler errors are
important.

Use the #line directive to show the trace-events filename and line
number in format string errors:
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-10.2.0/cpp/Line-Control.html

For example, if the cpu_in trace event's %u is changed to %p the
following error is reported:

  trace-events:29:18: error: format ‘%p’ expects argument of type ‘void *’, but argument 7 has type ‘unsigned int’ [-Werror=format=]

Line 29 in trace-events is where cpu_in is defined. This works for any
trace-events file in the QEMU source tree and the correct path is
displayed.

Unfortunately there does not seem to be a way to set the column, so "18"
is not the right character on that line.

1. It doesn't accept empty files.
2. It doesn't recognize bool type but accepts C99 _Bool.
3. It converts int8_t * in probe points to char * in

a81df1b68b libqemuutil, qapi, trace: convert to meson
This shows how to do some "computations" in meson.build using its array
and dictionary data structures, and also a basic usage of the sourceset
module for conditional compilation.

Notice the new "if have_system" part of util/meson.build, which fixes
a bug in the old build system was buggy: util/dbus.c was built even for
non-softmmu builds, but the dependency on -lgio was lost when the linking
was done through libqemuutil.a.  Because all of its users required gio
otherwise, the bug was hidden.  Meson instead propagates libqemuutil's
dependencies down to its users, and shows the problem.

243af0225a trace: switch position of headers to what Meson requires
Meson doesn't enjoy the same flexibility we have with Make in choosing
the include path.  In particular the tracing headers are using
$(build_root)/$(<D).

In order to keep the include directives unchanged,
the simplest solution is to generate headers with patterns like
"trace/trace-audio.h" and place forwarding headers in the source tree
such that for example "audio/trace.h" includes "trace/trace-audio.h".

This patch is too ugly to be applied to the Makefiles now.  It's only
a way to separate the changes to the tracing header files from the
Meson rewrite of the tracing logic.

000822441e tracetool: carefully define SDT_USE_VARIADIC
The dtrace backend defines SDT_USE_VARIADIC as a workaround for a
conflict with a LTTng UST header file, which requires SDT_USE_VARIADIC
to be defined.

LTTng UST <lttng/tracepoint.h> breaks if included after generated dtrace
headers because SDT_USE_VARIADIC will already be defined:

  #ifdef LTTNG_UST_HAVE_SDT_INTEGRATION
  #define SDT_USE_VARIADIC <-- error, it's already defined
  #include <sys/sdt.h>

Be more careful when defining SDT_USE_VARIADIC. This fixes the build
when both the dtrace and ust tracers are enabled at the same time.

27e08bab94 tracetool: work around ust <sys/sdt.h> include conflict
Both the dtrace and ust backends may include <sys/sdt.h> but LTTng
Userspace Tracer 2.11 and later requires SDT_USE_VARIADIC to be defined
before including the header file.

This is a classic problem with C header files included from different
parts of a program. If the same header is included twice within the same
compilation unit then the first inclusion determines the macro
environment.

Work around this by defining SDT_USE_VARIADIC in the dtrace backend too.
It doesn't hurt and fixes a missing STAP_PROBEV() compiler error when
the ust backend is enabled together with the dtrace backend.

13d4ff07e8 trace: Do not include qom/cpu.h into generated trace.h
docs/devel/tracing.txt explains "since many source files include
trace.h, [the generated trace.h use] a minimum of types and other
header files included to keep the namespace clean and compile times
and dependencies down."

Commit 4815185902 "trace: Add per-vCPU tracing states for events with
the 'vcpu' property" made them all include qom/cpu.h via
control-internal.h.  qom/cpu.h in turn includes about thirty headers.
Ouch.

Per-vCPU tracing is currently not supported in sub-directories'
trace-events.  In other words, qom/cpu.h can only be used in
trace-root.h, not in any trace.h.

Split trace/control-vcpu.h off trace/control.h and
trace/control-internal.h.  Have the generated trace.h include
trace/control.h (which no longer includes qom/cpu.h), and trace-root.h
include trace/control-vcpu.h (which includes it).

The resulting improvement is a bit disappointing: in my "build
everything" tree, some 1100 out of 6600 objects (not counting tests
and objects that don't depend on qemu/osdep.h) depend on a trace.h,
and about 600 of them no longer depend on qom/cpu.h.  But more than
1300 others depend on trace-root.h.  More work is clearly needed.
Left for another day.

This commit introduces a way to do simple printf style logging of probe
points using systemtap. In particular it creates another set of tapsets,
one per emulator:

  /usr/share/systemtap/tapset/qemu-*-log.stp

These pre-define probe functions which simply call printf() on their
arguments. The printf() format string is taken from the normal
trace-events files, with a little munging to the format specifiers
to cope with systemtap's more restrictive syntax.

With this you can now do

 $ stap -e 'probe qemu.system.x86_64.log.qio*{}'
 22806@1547735341399856820 qio_channel_socket_new Socket new ioc=0x56135d1d7c00

 22806@1547735341399976816 qio_task_thread_run Task thread run task=0x56135cd66eb0

We go one step further though and introduce a 'qemu-trace-stap' tool to
make this even easier

 $ qemu-trace-stap run qemu-system-x86_64 'qio*'
 22806@1547735341399856820 qio_channel_socket_new Socket new ioc=0x56135d1d7c00

 22806@1547735341399976816 qio_task_thread_run Task thread run task=0x56135cd66eb0

This tool is clever in that it will automatically change the
SYSTEMTAP_TAPSET env variable to point to the directory containing the
right set of probes for the QEMU binary path you give it. This is useful
if you have QEMU installed in /usr but are trying to test and trace a
binary in /home/berrange/usr/qemu-git. In that case you'd do

 $ qemu-trace-stap run /home/berrange/usr/qemu-git/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 'qio*'

And it'll make sure /home/berrange/usr/qemu-git/share/systemtap/tapset
is used for the trace session

The 'qemu-trace-stap' script takes a verbose arg so you can understand
what it is running

 $ qemu-trace-stap run /home/berrange/usr/qemu-git/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 'qio*'
 Using tapset dir '/home/berrange/usr/qemu-git/share/systemtap/tapset' for binary '/home/berrange/usr/qemu-git/bin/qemu-system-x86_64'
 Compiling script 'probe qemu.system.x86_64.log.qio* {}'
 Running script, <Ctrl>-c to quit
 ...trace output...

It can enable multiple probes at once

 $ qemu-trace-stap run qemu-system-x86_64 'qio*' 'qcrypto*' 'buffer*'

By default it monitors all existing running processes and all future
launched proceses. This can be restricted to a specific PID using the
--pid arg

 $ qemu-trace-stap run --pid 2532 qemu-system-x86_64 'qio*'

Finally if you can't remember what probes are valid it can tell you

 $ qemu-trace-stap list qemu-system-x86_64
 ahci_check_irq
 ahci_cmd_done
 ahci_dma_prepare_buf
 ahci_dma_prepare_buf_fail
 ahci_dma_rw_buf
 ahci_irq_lower
 ...snip...

Or list just those matching a prefix pattern

 $ qemu-trace-stap list -v qemu-system-x86_64 'qio*'
 Using tapset dir '/home/berrange/usr/qemu-git/share/systemtap/tapset' for binary '/home/berrange/usr/qemu-git/bin/qemu-system-x86_64'

 qio_channel_command_abort
 qio_channel_command_new_pid
 qio_channel_command_new_spawn
 qio_channel_command_wait

772f1b3721 trace: forbid use of %m in trace event format strings
The '%m' format instructs glibc's printf()/syslog() implementation to
insert the contents of strerror(errno). Since this is a glibc extension
it should generally be avoided in QEMU due to need for portability to a
variety of platforms.

Even though vfio is Linux-only code that could otherwise use "%m", it
must still be avoided in trace-events files because several of the
backends do not use the format string and so this error information is
invisible to them.

The errno string value should be given as an explicit trace argument
instead, making it accessible to all backends. This also allows it to
work correctly with future patches that use the format string with
systemtap's simple printf code.

8fbc12f324 tracetool: Include thread id information in log backend
Currently the log backend prints the process id of QEMU at the start
of each output line, but since threads share the same PID there is no
clear distinction between their outputs.

Having the thread id present in the log makes it easier to see when
output comes from different threads. E.g.:

12423@1538597569.672527:qemu_mutex_lock waiting on mutex 0x1103ee60 (/root/qemu/util/main-loop.c:236)

12431@1538597569.503937:qemu_mutex_locked taken mutex 0x1103ee60 (/root/qemu/cpus.c:1257)
^here

In the above, 12423 is the main process id and 12430 & 12431 are the
two vcpu threads.

since nothing will be dereferencing these pointer arguments.

be0aa7ac89 log-for-trace.h: Split out parts of log.h used by trace.h
A persistent build problem we see is where a source file
accidentally omits the #include of log.h. This slips through
local developer testing because if you configure with the
default (log) trace backend trace.h will pull in log.h for you.
Compilation fails only if some other backend is selected.

To make this error cause a compile failure regardless of
the configured trace backend, split out the parts of log.h
that trace.h requires into a new log-for-trace.h header.
Since almost all manual uses of the log.h functions will
use constants or functions which aren't in log-for-trace.h,
this will let us catch missing #include "qemu/log.h" more
consistently.

d6b76d6805 trace: use static event ID mapping in simpletrace.stp
This is a partial revert of commit
7f1b588f20 ("trace: emit name <-> ID
mapping in simpletrace header"), which broke the SystemTap flight
recorder because event mapping records may not be present in the ring
buffer when the trace is analyzed.  This means simpletrace.py
--no-header does not know the event ID mapping needed to pretty-print
the trace.

Instead of numbering events dynamically, use a static event ID mapping
as dictated by the event order in the trace-events-all file.

The simpletrace.py script also uses trace-events-all so the next patch
will fix the simpletrace.py --no-header option to take advantage of this
knowledge.

3932ef3ffb trace: add TRACE_<event>_BACKEND_DSTATE()
QEMU keeps track of trace event enabled/disabled state and provides
monitor commands to inspect and modify the "dstate".  SystemTap and
LTTng UST maintain independent enabled/disabled states for each trace
event, the other backends rely on QEMU dstate.

Introduce a new per-event macro that combines backend-specific dstate
like this:

  #define TRACE_MY_EVENT_BACKEND_DSTATE() ( \
      QEMU_MY_EVENT_ENABLED() || /* SystemTap */ \
      tracepoint_enabled(qemu, my_event) /* LTTng UST */ || \
      false)

This will be used to extend trace_event_get_state() in the next patch.

[Daniel Berrange pointed out that QEMU_MY_EVENT_ENABLED() must be true
by default, not false.  This way events will fire even if the DTrace
implementation does not implement the SystemTap semaphores feature.

Ubuntu Precise uses lttng-ust-dev 2.0.2 which does not have
tracepoint_enabled(), so we need a compatibility wrapper to keep Travis
builds passing.

    net: split colo_compare_pkt_info into two trace events

    It seems there is a limit to the number of arguments a UST trace event
    can take and at 11 the previous trace command broke the build. Split the
    trace into a src pkt and dst pkt trace to fix this.

Now we get an immediate fail even when UST is disabled:

7609ffb919 trace: fix tcg tracing build breakage
Commit 0ab8ed18a6 ("trace: switch to
modular code generation for sub-directories") forgot to convert "tcg"
trace events to the modular code generation approach where each
sub-directory has its own trace-events file.

This patch fixes compilation for "tcg" trace events.  Currently they are
only used in the root ./trace-events file.

"tcg" trace events can only be used in the root ./trace-events file for
the time being.

0ab8ed18a6 trace: switch to modular code generation for sub-directories
Introduce rules in the top level Makefile that are able to generate
trace.[ch] files in every subdirectory which has a trace-events file.

The top level directory is handled specially, so instead of creating
trace.h, it creates trace-root.h. This allows sub-directories to
include the top level trace-root.h file, without ambiguity wrt to
the trace.g file in the current sub-dir.

db4df20de8 trace: Fix 'char **' compilation error in simple backend
Currently, the generated function body will do "strlen(arg)" but the
argument could be 'char **' or 'char * const *'. Avoid that by excluding
such cases in is_string check.

Reported by patchew's "make docker-test-mingw@fedora".
