tracing: Add lock-free tracing_map

Add tracing_map, a special-purpose lock-free map for tracing.

tracing_map is designed to aggregate or 'sum' one or more values
associated with a specific object of type tracing_map_elt, which
is associated by the map to a given key.

It provides various hooks allowing per-tracer customization and is
separated out into a separate file in order to allow it to be shared
between multiple tracers, but isn't meant to be generally used outside
of that context.

The tracing_map implementation was inspired by lock-free map
algorithms originated by Dr. Cliff Click:

+/*
+ * This is an overview of the tracing_map data structures and how they
+ * relate to the tracing_map API.  The details of the algorithms
+ * aren't discussed here - this is just a general overview of the data
+ * structures and how they interact with the API.
+ *
+ * The central data structure of the tracing_map is an initially
+ * zeroed array of struct tracing_map_entry (stored in the map field
+ * of struct tracing_map).  tracing_map_entry is a very simple data
+ * structure containing only two fields: a 32-bit unsigned 'key'
+ * variable and a pointer named 'val'.  This array of struct
+ * tracing_map_entry is essentially a hash table which will be
+ * modified by a single function, tracing_map_insert(), but which can
+ * be traversed and read by a user at any time (though the user does
+ * this indirectly via an array of tracing_map_sort_entry - see the
+ * explanation of that data structure in the discussion of the
+ * sorting-related data structures below).
+ *
+ * The central function of the tracing_map API is
+ * tracing_map_insert().  tracing_map_insert() hashes the
+ * arbitrarily-sized key passed into it into a 32-bit unsigned key.
+ * It then uses this key, truncated to the array size, as an index
+ * into the array of tracing_map_entries.  If the value of the 'key'
+ * field of the tracing_map_entry found at that location is 0, then
+ * that entry is considered to be free and can be claimed, by
+ * replacing the 0 in the 'key' field of the tracing_map_entry with
+ * the new 32-bit hashed key.  Once claimed, that tracing_map_entry's
+ * 'val' field is then used to store a unique element which will be
+ * forever associated with that 32-bit hashed key in the
+ * tracing_map_entry.
+ *
+ * That unique element now in the tracing_map_entry's 'val' field is
+ * an instance of tracing_map_elt, where 'elt' in the latter part of
+ * that variable name is short for 'element'.  The purpose of a
+ * tracing_map_elt is to hold values specific to the the particular
+ * 32-bit hashed key it's assocated with.  Things such as the unique
+ * set of aggregated sums associated with the 32-bit hashed key, along
+ * with a copy of the full key associated with the entry, and which
+ * was used to produce the 32-bit hashed key.
+ *
+ * When tracing_map_create() is called to create the tracing map, the
+ * user specifies (indirectly via the map_bits param, the details are
+ * unimportant for this discussion) the maximum number of elements
+ * that the map can hold (stored in the max_elts field of struct
+ * tracing_map).  This is the maximum possible number of
+ * tracing_map_entries in the tracing_map_entry array which can be
+ * 'claimed' as described in the above discussion, and therefore is
+ * also the maximum number of tracing_map_elts that can be associated
+ * with the tracing_map_entry array in the tracing_map.  Because of
+ * the way the insertion algorithm works, the size of the allocated
+ * tracing_map_entry array is always twice the maximum number of
+ * elements (2 * max_elts).  This value is stored in the map_size
+ * field of struct tracing_map.
+ *
+ * Because tracing_map_insert() needs to work from any context,
+ * including from within the memory allocation functions themselves,
+ * both the tracing_map_entry array and a pool of max_elts
+ * tracing_map_elts are pre-allocated before any call is made to
+ * tracing_map_insert().
+ *
+ * The tracing_map_entry array is allocated as a single block by
+ * tracing_map_create().
+ *
+ * Because the tracing_map_elts are much larger objects and can't
+ * generally be allocated together as a single large array without
+ * failure, they're allocated individually, by tracing_map_init().
+ *
+ * The pool of tracing_map_elts are allocated by tracing_map_init()
+ * rather than by tracing_map_create() because at the time
+ * tracing_map_create() is called, there isn't enough information to
+ * create the tracing_map_elts.  Specifically,the user first needs to
+ * tell the tracing_map implementation how many fields the
+ * tracing_map_elts contain, and which types of fields they are (key
+ * or sum).  The user does this via the tracing_map_add_sum_field()
+ * and tracing_map_add_key_field() functions, following which the user
+ * calls tracing_map_init() to finish up the tracing map setup.  The
+ * array holding the pointers which make up the pre-allocated pool of
+ * tracing_map_elts is allocated as a single block and is stored in
+ * the elts field of struct tracing_map.
+ *
+ * There is also a set of structures used for sorting that might
+ * benefit from some minimal explanation.
+ *
+ * struct tracing_map_sort_key is used to drive the sort at any given
+ * time.  By 'any given time' we mean that a different
+ * tracing_map_sort_key will be used at different times depending on
+ * whether the sort currently being performed is a primary or a
+ * secondary sort.
+ *
+ * The sort key is very simple, consisting of the field index of the
+ * tracing_map_elt field to sort on (which the user saved when adding
+ * the field), and whether the sort should be done in an ascending or
+ * descending order.
+ *
+ * For the convenience of the sorting code, a tracing_map_sort_entry
+ * is created for each tracing_map_elt, again individually allocated
+ * to avoid failures that might be expected if allocated as a single
+ * large array of struct tracing_map_sort_entry.
+ * tracing_map_sort_entry instances are the objects expected by the
+ * various internal sorting functions, and are also what the user
+ * ultimately receives after calling tracing_map_sort_entries().
+ * Because it doesn't make sense for users to access an unordered and
+ * sparsely populated tracing_map directly, the
+ * tracing_map_sort_entries() function is provided so that users can
+ * retrieve a sorted list of all existing elements.  In addition to
+ * the associated tracing_map_elt 'elt' field contained within the
+ * tracing_map_sort_entry, which is the object of interest to the
+ * user, tracing_map_sort_entry objects contain a number of additional
+ * fields which are used for caching and internal purposes and can
+ * safely be ignored.

+ *	allocate additional data and attach it to the element
+ *	(tracing_map_elt->private_data is meant for that purpose).
+ *	Element allocation occurs before tracing begins, when the
+ *	tracing_map_init() call is made by client code.
+ *
+ * @elt_copy: At certain points in the lifetime of an element, it may
+ *	need to be copied.  The copy should include a copy of the
+ *	client-allocated data, which can be copied into the 'to'
+ *	element from the 'from' element.
+ *
+ * @elt_free: When a tracing_map_elt is freed, this function is called
+ *	and allows client-allocated per-element data to be freed.
+ *
+ * @elt_clear: This callback allows per-element client-defined data to
+ *	be cleared, if applicable.
+ *
+ * @elt_init: This callback allows per-element client-defined data to
+ *	be initialized when used i.e. when the element is actually
+ *	claimed by tracing_map_insert() in the context of the map
+ *	insertion.
