If the tracefs mountpoint has a very long path we may exceed PATH_MAX.
This is a system misconfiguration and the user must resolve it so that
applications can perform path-based system calls successfully.
This issue does not occur on real-world systems since tracefs is mounted
on /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/, but the compiler is smart enough to
foresee the possibility and warn about the unchecked snprintf(3) return
value. This patch fixes the compiler warning.

Recent Linux kernel provides separate tracefs which doesn't need to be
mounted on the debugfs. Although most systems mount it at the
traditional place on the debugfs, it'd be safer to check tracefs first.

The find_debugfs() can be shared to find a different filesystem like
tracefs. So make it more general and rename to find_mount().

The return vale of find_debugfs() is 1 if it could find a mount point of
debugfs. It can be saved in the while loop instead of checking it again.

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.

If the ftrace backend is compiled into QEMU, any attempt
to start QEMU while non-root will fail due to the
inability to open /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_on.
Add a fallback into the code so that it connects up the
trace_marker_fd variable to /dev/null when getting
EACCES on the 'trace_on' file. This allows QEMU to
run, with ftrace turned into a no-op.
[Fixed s/setting/getting/ and s/EACCESS/EACCES/ errors pointed out by
Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com>.

Adds support to compile QEMU with multiple tracing backends at the same time.
For example, you can compile QEMU with:
$ ./configure --enable-trace-backends=ftrace,dtrace
Where 'ftrace' can be handy for having an in-flight record of events, and 'dtrace' can be later used to extract more information from the system.
This patch allows having both available without recompiling QEMU.

This patch adds a ftrace tracing backend which sends trace event to
ftrace marker file. You can effectively compare qemu trace data and
kernel(especially, kvm.ko when using KVM) trace data.
The ftrace backend is restricted to Linux only.
To try out the ftrace backend:
$ ./configure --trace-backend=ftrace
$ make
if you use KVM, enable kvm events in ftrace:
# sudo echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kvm/enable
After running qemu by root user, you can get the trace:
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace
