[PATCH V2 2/4] STM Ftrace: Adding generic buffer interface driver

Chunyan Zhang zhang.chunyan at linaro.org
Tue Jun 21 19:46:51 PDT 2016


This patch adds a driver that models itself as an stm_source and
who's sole purpose is to be an interface to the rest of the
kernel.  Once the stm and stm_source have been linked via sysfs,
everything that is passed to the interface will endup in the STM
trace engine.
