Log:
ktr changes to improve performance and make writing a userland utility to
dump the trace buffer feasible.
- Remove KTR_EXTEND. This changes the format of the trace entries when
activated, making writing a userland tool which is not tied to a specific
kernel configuration difficult.
- Use get_cyclecount() for timestamps. nanotime() is much too heavy weight
and requires recursion protection due to ktr traces occuring as a result
of ktr traces. KTR_VERBOSE may still require recursion protection, which
is now conditional on it.
- Allow KTR_CPU to be overridden by MD code. This is so that it is possible
to trace early in startup before pcpu and/or curthread are setup.
- Add a version number for the ktr interface. A userland tool can check this
to detect mismatches.
- Use an array for the parameters to make decoding in userland easier.
- Add file and line recording to the non-extended traces now that the extended
version is no more.
These changes will break gdb macros to decode the extended version of the
trace buffer which are floating around. Users of these macros should either
use the show ktr command in ddb, or use the userland utility which can be run
on a core dump.
