This patch defines the "disable" trace event state to always use the "nop" backend.
As a side-effect, all events are now enabled (without "disable") by default, as all backends (except "stderr") have programmatic support for dynamically (de)activating each trace event. In order to make this true, the "simple" backend now has a "-trace events=<file>" argument to let the user select which events must be enabled from the very beginning. NOTES: * Parsing of -trace arguments is not done in the OS-specific frontends. Signed-off-by: Lluís Vilanova <vilan...@ac.upc.edu> --- Changes in v2: * Documentation fixes. * Seggregate whitespace/indentation changes. * Minor code beautifications. * Make all -trace suboptions explicit. * Fix minor comments from Stefan. * Minor trace-events format fixes. * Integrate changes from Fabien. * Rebase on qemu.git/master (c8f930c0eeb696d638f4d4bf654e955fa44ff40f).
