Daniel P. Berrange ddf3bd32ce Rewrite all the DTrace/SystemTAP probing
The libvirtd daemon had a few crude system tap probes. Some of
these were broken during the RPC rewrite. The new modular RPC
code is structured in a way that allows much more effective
tracing. Instead of trying to hook up the original probes,
define a new set of probes for the RPC and event code.

The master probes file is now src/probes.d.  This contains
probes for virNetServerClientPtr, virNetClientPtr, virSocketPtr
virNetTLSContextPtr and virNetTLSSessionPtr modules. Also add
probes for the poll event loop.

The src/dtrace2systemtap.pl script can convert the probes.d
file into a libvirt_probes.stp file to make use from systemtap
much simpler.

The src/rpc/gensystemtap.pl script can generate a set of
systemtap functions for translating RPC enum values into
printable strings. This works for all RPC header enums (program,
type, status, procedure) and also the authentication enum

The PROBE macro will automatically generate a VIR_DEBUG
statement, so any place with a PROBE can remove any existing
manual DEBUG statements.

* daemon/libvirtd.stp, daemon/probes.d: Remove obsolete probing
* daemon/libvirtd.h: Remove probe macros
* daemon/Makefile.am: Remove all probe buildings/install
* daemon/remote.c: Update authentication probes
* src/dtrace2systemtap.pl, src/rpc/gensystemtap.pl: Scripts
  to generate STP files
* src/internal.h: Add probe macros
* src/probes.d: Master list of probes
* src/rpc/virnetclient.c, src/rpc/virnetserverclient.c,
  src/rpc/virnetsocket.c, src/rpc/virnettlscontext.c,
  src/util/event_poll.c: Insert probe points, removing any
  DEBUG statements that duplicate the info

         LibVirt : simple API for virtualization

  Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.

Description
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER Hypervisor.
