Port TraceEvent to .NET Core

[vancem]

This is transferring the following bug that was in the corefx repo https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/issues/4864

Basically we want the Microsoft.Diagnostics.Tracing.TraceEvent nuget package to work on .NET Core.

@vancem I just want to let you know that BenchmarkDotNet would love to have Microsoft.Diagnostics.Tracing.TraceEvent ported to .NET Core. We are currently using the existing version, and would like to give our .NET Core users great experience.

@vancem Is there any progress on that matter or are you still investigating? We have some disabled tests in corefx which rely on that feature.

[vancem]

I have not made progress. It should be a straightforward exercise (at least to make SOME progress), I just have not had time. I will raise its priority a bit, but I still offer no promises.

[vancem]

This has been fixed by PR #360.

@vancem When do you plan to release the new NuGet package?

When do you plan to release the new NuGet package

There is some work to do before I can release the package on Nuget. In particular it needs to be signed, and some testing has to be added. Also it has to be tested on the scenarios we have for that package (e.g. there are samples). This is not my top priority right now so it is hard to give a deadline, but it will be at least another week or so (the wildcard is how much time I can give it)

Hi @vancem, it looks like this package has not made its way to nuget yet. Is there anything I can do to help publish it? I'm just down the hall from you if you want to chat!

Was trying to listen to some kernel events with .NET Core to detect blocking calls; but alas...

Would be great when the packages are shipped! 😉
