[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v5 05/10] trace-state: always compile support for controlling and querying trace event states

[Lluís <xscript@gmx.net>]

The current interface is generic for this small set of operations, and thus
other backends can easily modify the "trace/control.c" file to add their own
implementation.

+== Generic interface and monitor commands ==
+
+You can programmatically query and control the dynamic state of trace events
+through a backend-agnostic interface:
+
+* trace_print_events
+
+* trace_event_set_state
+
+Note that some of the backends do not provide and implementation for this
+interface, in which case QEMU will just print a warning.

+This functionality is also provided through monitor commands:

+* info trace-events
+  View available trace events and their state.  State 1 means enabled, state 0
+  means disabled.
+
+* trace-event NAME on|off
