record btrace: add configuration struct
Add a struct to describe the branch trace configuration and use it for enabling branch tracing. The user will be able to set configuration fields for each tracing format to be used for new threads. The actual configuration that is active for a given thread will be shown in the "info record" command. At the moment, the configuration struct only contains a format field that is set to the only available format. The format is the only configuration option that can not be set via set commands. It is given as argument to the "record btrace" command when starting recording. 2015-02-09 Markus Metzger <markus.t.metzger@intel.com> * Makefile.in (XMLFILES): Add btrace-conf.dtd. * x86-linux-nat.c (x86_linux_enable_btrace): Update parameters.
