This patch overhauls the FAIL* server code to leverage Boost asio to be able to
handle a large number of clients (>4000). In this implementation the server is
now single threaded. I've not encountered any problems with this for up to
about 10k clients. Boost ASIO can also be used multithreaded, but I assume the
FAIL* internal data structures (Synchronized*) will become a bottleneck first.
The code now additionally depends on Boost Coro and Boost Context, as well as
a C++ 14 compiler, although the only C++14 feature required is a lambda capture
with initializer, such as [ x = std::move(x) ]. gcc-4.9.2 does this.
The code could (and probably should) be cleaned up more. Comments are wordy,
code is unnecessary now (multiple server threads), code is not self-contained
(headers spread dependencies), many ifdef's (server performance measuring
should be runtime rather than a compile time option), and much more. But for
this patch I was going for a minimal changeset the get the functionality in,
to have an easier review. Alas, FAIL* has no Unit-test suite to run the changes
against.
To handle such a large number of clients more changes were necessary, for
example server status output is now performed every 1s, instead for every
request.
The class Minion was removed completely; the only thing it was doing was
encapsulate an int.
The server has now a runtime-configurable port, or it can select a free port on
its own if none is specified. This requires the CampaignManager to add a port
argument and instantiate the JobServer dynamically.

Clang 4.0.0, which ac++ links against since today, throws an error in

- search for libdwarf.h in new locations (e.g., /usr/include/libdwarf/)
- build Bochs with -std=gnu++98 (gnu++14 is default since GCC 6.1)
- specify "proto2" syntax for protobuf messages
- minor build-system and C++ namespace fixes

This change removes the hard compile-time dependency from the
performance-improving dedicated listener-list implementation
(core/sal/perf/) to basic watchpoints / breakpoints being enabled in
the cmake config. This allows to keep the CONFIG_FAST_* switches
enabled in practically every experiment.
The primary reason for this change was the recent insight that enabled
breakpoints with disabled CONFIG_FAST_BREAKPOINTS can massively slow
down an experiment even if the latter does not use a single breakpoint
itself.

The initialization value for ymin, which tracks the lower bound of
plotted rectangles (and is finally used for the preselected zoom
area), was chosen too small for Linux-kernel data structure addresses.

Upstream SVN r10244: "Fixed possible buffer overflow causing segfault
or memory corruption. The buffers are not large enough for the maximum
sector count in LBA48 mode. Now resetting buffer pointers after
processing a PRD (and move remaining data if necessary). This should
fix the SF bug items #3190970 and #3077616."
This happened to us when booting Debian 8 with a Linux 3.16 kernel
from "flat" or "volatile" disk images, in the end corrupting the VGA
card's ("theVga") internal state and segfaulting.

FindLLVM.cmake now starts searching for specific "llvm-config-x.y"
versions instead of using the system-wide default "llvm-config" first.
This avoids breaking builds on Debian 8, where LLVM 3.5 is the (yet
unsupported) default, but 3.4 is still installable.

Before this change, the GenericExperiment only recorded port 0xe9 output
*after* the fault was injected. When a fault was injected during the
workload's output loop, the output data before that point in time was
missing, and the experiment outcome was wrongly classified as SDC.
This change moves the logging activation to before the fast-forwarding
step (DatabaseExperiment::cb_before_fast_forward). It also makes sure the
DatabaseExperiment only clears its own listeners instead of also touching
the SerialOutputLogger's one.

Limit the serial-output logger buffer to prevent overly large memory
consumption in case the target system ends up, e.g., in an endless loop.
The buffer is limited to (golden-run output size)+1 to be able to detect
the case when the target system makes a correct output but faultily adds
extra characters afterwards.

This change prevents an integer overflow in the memory-access listener
for WRITE_OUTERSPACE. Instead of matching all addresses above
maxima_data, l_mem_outerspace never matched in the
generic-experiment's "--catch-write-outerspace" mode.

Before this change, ymin was rounded down to the nearest Y value
divisible by 1000, showing an empty, white area in the lower part of
the plot. With this change, the initial Y-axis zoom level is
maximized to exactly show all non-white areas.
Change-Id: I1aea52a3afc331e7f11fe76ff2c5de3c71c61c71
In the current configuration, OK_MARKER would be plotted in white
color and be indistinguishable from the background. Not plotting
these areas at all reduces output-file size. As a side effect, the
initial Y-axis zoom level (ymin, ymax) can change.

By default, the data-aggregator scripts create machine-readable,
tab-separated output. The optional "-t" switch (passed to the
internally used `mysql' command-line client) creates human-readable
table output instead.

This change additionally allows to create a resulttype/occurrences summary

Instead of using the address difference between two neighboring symbols as
an indication for the symbol's size, import the size as reported by
`nm -S'.
Additionally, this change fixes an off-by-one, which had the effect that
the last symbol in the list was not imported at all.

This change introduces a loose collection of scripts for

This change adds the capability to import an ELF's symbols
into the database. The functionality is implemented via a
shell script and will be merged into "import-trace", when
it's being cleaned up sometime in the near future, but for
now this suffices.

Up until now only generic-tracing had the feature to directly
pass an ELF file to the experiment. generic-experiment lacked
that functionality and resorted to using the $FAIL_ELF_PATH
environment variable.
This change introduces the "--elf-file" command line argument
to generic-experiment.
