Ramamani Yeleswarapu 3773f17403 Enable OSProfiler support in Ironic
This patch does the following:
* Adds osprofiler wsgi middleware
  This middleware is used for 2 things:
  - It checks that person who wants to trace is trusted and knows
    secret HMAC key.
  - It starts tracing in case of proper trace headers
    and adds first wsgi trace point, with info about HTTP request.

* Adds initialization of osprofiler at start of service
  - Initialize and set an oslo.messaging based notifier instance
    to osprofiler, which will be used to send notifications to Ceilometer.

* Traces HTTP/RPC/DB API calls and SQL requests

NOTE to test this patch:
1) Make the following changes in localrc to configure DevStack to enable
   OSProfiler:

   enable_plugin panko https://git.openstack.org/openstack/panko
   enable_plugin ceilometer https://git.openstack.org/openstack/ceilometer
   enable_plugin osprofiler https://git.openstack.org/openstack/osprofiler

   # Enable the following services
   CEILOMETER_NOTIFICATION_TOPICS=notifications,profiler
   ENABLED_SERVICES+=,ceilometer-acompute,ceilometer-acentral
   ENABLED_SERVICES+=,ceilometer-anotification,ceilometer-collector
   ENABLED_SERVICES+=,ceilometer-alarm-evaluator,ceilometer-alarm-notifier
   ENABLED_SERVICES+=,ceilometer-api

NOTE: the order of enabling plugins matters.

2) Run stack.sh. Once DevStack environment is setup, enable profiler options
   in ironic.conf and restart ironic services:
   [profiler]
   enabled = true
   hmac_keys = SECRET_KEY
   trace_sqlalchemy = true

3) Use openstackclient and run baremetal command with
   --os-profile SECRET_KEY
   [--profile can be used, but it is deprecated.]
   For example, the following will cause the <trace-id> to be printed
   after node list:

   $ openstack --os-profile SECRET_KEY baremetal node list
   .....
   .....
   Trace ID: <trace-id>
   Display trace with command:
   osprofiler trace show --html <trace-id>

4) The trace results can be saved using this command:

   $ osprofiler trace show --html <trace-id> --out trace.html

Developer's Guide

Getting Started

If you are new to ironic, this section contains information that should help you get started as a developer working on the project or contributing to the project.

Developer Contribution Guide <code-contribution-guide> Setting Up Your Development Environment <dev-quickstart> Frequently Asked Questions <faq>

The following pages describe the architecture of the Bare Metal service and may be helpful to anyone working on or with the service, but are written primarily for developers.

Ironic System Architecture <architecture> Provisioning State Machine <states> Developing New Notifications <notifications> OSProfiler Tracing <osprofiler-support>

These pages contain information for PTLs, cross-project liaisons, and core reviewers.

Writing Drivers

Ironic's community includes many hardware vendors who contribute drivers that enable more advanced functionality when Ironic is used in conjunction with that hardware. To do this, the Ironic developer community is committed to standardizing on a Python Driver API that meets the common needs of all hardware vendors, and evolving this API without breaking backwards compatibility. However, it is sometimes necessary for driver authors to implement functionality - and expose it through the REST API - that can not be done through any existing API.

To facilitate that, we also provide the means for API calls to be "passed through" ironic and directly to the driver. Some guidelines on how to implement this are provided below. Driver authors are strongly encouraged to talk with the developer community about any implementation using this functionality.

Testing Network Integration

In order to test the integration between the Bare Metal and Networking services, support has been added to devstack to mimic an external physical switch. Here we include a recommended configuration for devstack to bring up this environment.
