Cong Ding 4a7d6455b0 tools:virtio: fix compilation warning
We do not allow old-style function definition.  Always spell foo(void) if
a function does not take any parameters.

Yoshihiro YUNOMAE 5b8fa822b7 tools: Fix pthread flag for Makefile of trace-agent used by virtio-trace
pthread flag should not be -lpthread but -pthread using gcc. The -lpthread
links the external multithread library. On the other hand, the -pthread manages
both the gcc's preprocessor and linker to be able to compile with pthread.

Yoshihiro YUNOMAE 108fc82596 tools: Add guest trace agent as a user tool
This patch adds a user tool, "trace agent" for sending trace data of a guest to
a Host in low overhead. This agent has the following functions:
 - splice a page of ring-buffer to read_pipe without memory copying
 - splice the page from write_pipe to virtio-console without memory copying
 - write trace data to stdout by using -o option
 - controlled by start/stop orders from a Host

Changes in v2:
 - Cleanup (change fprintf() to pr_err() and an include guard)

The tool should never use them, abort if it does.

Rusty Russell f96fde41f7 virtio: rename virtqueue_add_buf_gfp to virtqueue_add_buf
Remove wrapper functions. This makes the allocation type explicit in
all callers; I used GPF_KERNEL where it seemed obvious, left it at
GFP_ATOMIC otherwise.

Rusty Russell 7b21e34fd1 virtio: harsher barriers for rpmsg.
We were cheating with our barriers; using the smp ones rather than the
real device ones.  That was fine, until rpmsg came along, which is
used to talk to a real device (a non-SMP CPU).

Unfortunately, just putting back the real barriers (reverting
d57ed95d) causes a performance regression on virtio-pci.  In
particular, Amos reports netbench's TCP_RR over virtio_net CPU
utilization increased up to 35% while throughput went down by up to
14%.

By comparison, this branch is in the noise.

Michael S. Tsirkin 4e53f78e5b tools/virtio: virtio_test tool
This is the userspace part of the tool: it includes a bunch of stubs for
linux APIs, somewhat simular to linuxsched. This makes it possible to
recompile the ring code in userspace.

A small test example is implemented combining this with vhost_test
module.

Intentionally not tied to kbuild to prevent people
