These changes are the raw update to linux-4.4.6-rt14. Kernel sources
are taken from kernel.org, and rt patch from the rt wiki download page. During the rebasing, the following patch collided: Force tick interrupt and get rid of softirq magic(I70131fb85). Collisions have been removed because its logic was found on the source already. Change-Id: I7f57a4081d9deaa0d9ccfc41a6c8daccdee3b769 Signed-off-by: José Pekkarinen <jose.pekkarinen@nokia.com>

+5.4 PID filtering
+-----------------
+
+The set_event_pid file in the same directory as the top events directory
+exists, will filter all events from tracing any task that does not have the
+PID listed in the set_event_pid file.
+
+# cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
+# echo $$ > set_event_pid
+# echo 1 > events/enabled
+
+Will only trace events for the current task.
+
+To add more PIDs without losing the PIDs already included, use '>>'.
+
+# echo 123 244 1 >> set_event_pid
