[Qemu-devel] [RFC][PATCH v3 00/10] trace-state: make the behaviour of "disable" consistent across all backends

[Lluís]

This patch defines the "disable" trace event state to always use the "nop"
backend.

As a side-effect, all events are now enabled (without "disable") by default, as
all backends (except "stderr") have programmatic support for dynamically
(de)activating each trace event.

In order to make this true, the "simple" backend now has a "-trace
events=<file>" argument to let the user select which events must be enabled from
the very beginning.

NOTES:
* Parsing of -trace arguments is not done in the OS-specific frontends.

* Documentation fixes.
* Seggregate whitespace/indentation changes.
* Minor code beautifications.
* Make all -trace suboptions explicit.
* Fix minor comments from Stefan.
* Minor trace-events format fixes.
* Integrate changes from Fabien.

Lluís Vilanova (10):
      trace: move backend-specific code into the trace/ directory
      trace: avoid conditional code compilation during option parsing
      trace: generalize the "property" concept in the trace-events file
      trace-state: separate trace event control and query routines from the 
simple backend
      trace-state: always compile support for controlling and querying trace 
event states
      trace-state: add "-trace events" argument to control initial state
      trace-state: always use the "nop" backend on events with the "disable" 
keyword
      trace-state: [simple] disable all trace points by default
      trace-state: [stderr] add support for dynamically enabling/disabling 
events
      trace: enable all events
