When using the generic-tracing experiment for generating a trace, the
first event, after the tracing is started (the start-symbol) is lost
in the trace. This patch handles this special case seperately.

The experiment does support
- 1 bit faults in registers/memory/IP
- 2 bit faults in registers (all)
- n bit faults monte-carlo in registers

The RegisterImporter splits each register into 1 byte chunks. The
--do-not-split flag prohibits this splitting. Be aware, that def/use
pruning won't work correctly in mixed-width cases (EAX/AX/AH/AL).

During the prune step the data_width of the injected location was not
propagated before. It is now stored in fsppilot (database layout change!) and
sent in the fsppilot protobuf message.

There's one fspgroup entry for every trace entry, the pilot_id is
therefore *not* part of the (unique) primary key. If this had been
right in the first place, it would have revealed an equivalence-based
fault-space pruning bug early ... :-/
Change-Id: I449d4985645c6631c0a8db0c64510364677b1354
If you only need raw failure counts, no-effect write equivalence classes
are redundant and only slow down access to the trace and fspgroup tables.
This switch prevents any accesstype='W' entries from finding their way into
the trace table.

Initially this was implemented by directly passing through trace
events to the MemoryImporter, keeping a record of conditional jumps
and opcodes, and UPDATEing all inserted rows in a second pass when the
MemoryImporter is finished.
Unfortunately, UPDATE is very slow, and keeping all information in
memory till the end doesn't scale indefinitely. Therefore the
implementation now delays passing memory access events upwards to the
MemoryImporter only until enough branch history is aggregated, and
taps into Importer's database operations with a set of new virtual
functions that are called downwards.

A MemoryImporter that additionally imports Relyzer-style conditional
branch history, instruction opcodes, and a virtual
duration=time2-time1+1 column (MariaDB 5.2+ only) for fault-space
pruning purposes.

This change touches several subsystems, tools and experiments
(sal, util, cmake, import-trace, generic-tracing, nanojpeg), and
changes details not worth separate commits.

This tool can now import extended trace information with the
--extended-trace command-line parameter. The existing importers cease
using artificial access_info_t objects in favor of passing through the
original Trace_Event wherever possible. This allows us to import
extended trace information for all importers.

It's OK if we cannot map every register LLVM knows to a Fail register
ID, but we need to explicitly skip these cases in the
RegisterImporter.

The input (taken on stdin) is a gem5.opt --debug-flags=MemoryAccess
trace (--format gem5), or a dump-trace output (--format dump) for easy
trace synthesis (for testing purposes).
gem5 format: Currently imports physical, not virtual memory addresses.
dump format: Currently ignores extended trace information.

This change became necessary as we observed weird fail-client SIGSEGV
crashes with both Bochs and Gem5 backends and different experiments.
Some Fail* components are instantiated statically: the
SimulatorController instance "simulator", containing the
ListenerManager and the CoroutineManager, and the active
ExperimentFlow subclass(es)
(experiments/instantiate-experiment*.ah.in). The experiment(s) is
registered as an active flow in the CoroutineManager at startup.
As plugins (which are ExperimentFlows themselves) are often created on
an experiment's stack, ExperimentFlows deregister themselves on
destruction (e.g., when leaving the plugin variable's scope). The
core problem is, that the creation and destruction order of statically
instantiated objects depends on the link order; if the experiment is
destroyed after the CoroutineManager, its automatic self-deregistering
feature talks to the smoking ruins of the latter.
This change removes all static instantiations of ExperimentFlow and
replaces them with constructions on the heap. Additionally it makes
sure that the CoroutineManager recognizes that a shutdown is in
progress, and refrains from touching potentially already destroyed
data structures when a (mistakenly globally instantiated)
ExperimentFlow deregisters in this case.

Contemporary AspectC++ versions can deal with the LLVM headers very
well, and #ifdef __puma stuff in Fail* headers results in
unmaintainable #ifdef __puma blocks in other parts of Fail* (e.g., the
trace importer).
Make sure you're using a 64-bit ac++ when living in a 64-bit userland
(the 32-bit version doesn't know about __int128), and be aware that
AspectC++ r325 introduced a regression that has not been fixed yet.

For def/use pruning, the linear address mapping of the x86
sub-registers (e.g., AX represents the lower 16 bits of EAX) must
overlap. If it doesn't, e.g., AX and EAX are considered separate
registers by def/use pruning, resulting in a failure to correlate an
EAX def with a subsequent AX use.
The only user of this mapping up to now, RegisterImporter, forced all
register widths to 8 bits, thereby fortunately canceling out this
problem. Nevertheless it makes no sense to continue encoding a
constant width in these virtual addresses.
Existing trace, fspgroup, fsppilot and result tables may be converted
to the new encoding by using this query:
UPDATE <tablename> SET data_address = ((data_address >> 4) & ~0xf) | data_address & 0xf;
