Add systemtap, one of the tracing/profiling tools mentioned in the
Yocto v1.0 tracing/profiling tools list posted here:
https://lists.yoctoproject.org/pipermail/yocto/2010-November/000281.html
This patch adds the recipe for systemtap support for the architectures
that I was able to get working and test - basically x86, x86-64,
qemux86, and qemuppc (arm (tried qemuarm) apparently needs some work
upstream, and mips isn't supported).
There is an accompanying kernel config patch that's also needed for
systemtap to work.
In addition to the systemtap recipe and kernel options posted here,
there's also a small amount of setup needed on the host system in
order to run systemtap scripts on a target system - basically,
installing systemtap on the host. I also hacked up a shell script
('crosstap') to make it easier to compile and execute systemtap
scripts on a target system - if you want to use that, you should
replace the variables in that script with appropriate values for your
system (I actually started out having the build system generate the
script, but decided to do that later if it ended up being desirable).
Detailed instructions on the setup as well as the 'crosstap' script
can be found in a new section on the wiki I've added for tracing and
profiling to the Yocto wiki:

I remember (from a couple years ago) systemtap being very dependent on
the elfutils version. Do we need to have a way to indicate a specific
version - or minimum version - so that systemtap doesn't suddenly break
without a helpful warning?
Otherwise, looks good to me.

Tom,
Will this work for PPC hardware also such as the beagleboard? I am just
looking at the COMPATIBLE_MACHINE list and wondering.
Recently Richard suggested that we could use regular expressions here
and negate the incompatible machine.
The more I think about this, we may need to extend this to work for
generalized arches, not just machines. I will work on writing an RFC
for this.

I only included the machines I was able to test directly (or were close
enough to what I tested).
I did test qemuarm, and while a simple helloworld script worked, the
other ones didn't, so I concluded that arm systemtap support was broken,
and probably wouldn't work on real arm hardware either, so I didn't
include any as compatible machines. There was a single consistent
compile error with the other scripts on qemuarm, so it's probably a
simple fix, but who knows - it's something to look into and submit
patches to systemtap if/when we want to get that working...
qemuppc worked fine, but that's all I have wrt that arch, so included
only that.
