Cosmetic surgery at a european cost

Previously libustctl would list all pids. This patch changes this

ust-consumerd: fix exit race log corruption

In the following scenario on an SMP system the ust-consumerd can end
up not properly closing out file handles which leads to log
corruption:
  * usttrace -m -l small_quick_app_lots_of_malloc_and_free
  * The app completes and usttrace sees and sends the SIGTERM to ust-consumerd
  * The ust-consumerd main thread will exit and the _exit() handlers
    kills off the remaining pthreads without everything getting closed out

The solution to the problem is to introduce an active_thread count for
the private ustconsumer_instance.  This counter will be zeroed out
when it is safe to completely shutdown the main thread, which will
subsequently run the _exit() handlers.

ust-consumerd: fix exit race crashes

The ust-consumerd gets shutdown by the SIGTERM signal and a number of
places in the ust-consumerd did not properly deal with the case where
a system call returns EINTR in errno as a result of a signal to the
process.  The failure to handle EINTR properly was leading to some
data corruption in the buffer code and causing some random "victim"
crashes in lowlevel.c

The way all the offending functions were tracked down was to
temporarily add an abort() in the SIGTERM signal handler.  Then it was
a matter of looking at what threads were blocked on system calls at
the time outside of the thread that received the signal.

Oh.. I think I see. __markers_ptrs contains pointers to another section
that must be populated by the dynamic linker (thus at runtime). If the
section is read-only, the linker cannot update them at load time, so a
relocation table is probably needed.

Merge branch 'master' of ssh://git.lttng.org/home/git/ust

Fix up all use of /dev/stderr for portability to busybox /bin/sh

The typical shell on a small embedded target using busybox does
not have support for /dev/stderr.  A more portable way to send
output to stderr with echo is to redirect stdout to stderr with
1>&2.

In the usttrace script it did something that was effectively
a NOP.  The result of echo "" 2>/dev/stderr is not actually
going to send anything to stderr because the echo is going
to write to stdout.  This case was also fixed.

Markers: remove channel name from trace_mark()

*** This is an instrumentation API change ***

Given that UST will gradually move to a scheme where channels are
dynamically associated with markers on a per tracing session basis (and
thus associated dynamically rather than fixed statically), it does not
make sense to specify the "channel name" in addition to the marker name
in the trace_mark() arguments.

API touched:

GET_MARKER()
DEFINE_MARKER()
DEFINE_MARKER_TP()
trace_mark()
_trace_mark()

I'm introducing this API change without changing the underlying
implementation, trying to minimize the impact of API changes by doing
them sooner than later.

Make only libust and libustconsumer use a signal safe usterr.h

Copy usterr.h to usterr_signal_safe.h and rewrite those parts of
usterr.h that depended on libustsnprintf. This removes the dependency
on libustsnprintf from all parts of ust except libust.
