Commit Message

Tzvetomir Stoyanov (VMware) Jan. 17, 2020, 1:55 p.m. UTC
Add a skeleton for new library: libtracefs.
It provides APIs for accessing files from tracefs.
 - Added new directories
    lib/tracefs
    include/tracefs
 - Integrated the libtracefs build into the trace-cmd compilation
 - The library is installed by "make install_libs" in:
         libtrasefs.so in $(libdir)/tracefs
         trasefs.h in $(includedir)/tracefs
 - Added implementation of initial APIs:
    char *tracefs_get_tracing_file(const char *name);
    void tracefs_put_tracing_file(char *name);
    const char *tracefs_get_tracing_dir(void);
    char *tracefs_find_tracing_dir(void);

Link libtracefs to kernel-shark and use its API:
  tracefs_get_tracing_dir()
