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.

For more information on the hardware, see Intel(R) Trace +Hub developer's manual [1]. + +It consists of trace sources, trace destinations (outputs) and a +switch (Global Trace Hub, GTH).

STP (System Trace Protocol) is a trace +protocol multiplexing data from multiple trace sources, each one of +which is assigned a unique pair of master and channel. While some of +these masters and channels are statically allocated to certain +hardware trace sources, others are available to software. Software +trace sources are usually free to pick for themselves any +master/channel combination from this pool. + +On the receiving end of this STP stream (the decoder side), trace +sources can only be identified by master/channel combination, so in +order for the decoder to be able to make sense of the trace that +involves multiple trace sources, it needs to be able to map those +master/channel pairs to the trace sources that it understands. + +For instance, it is helpful to know that syslog messages come on +master 7 channel 15, while arbitrary user applications can use masters +48 to 63 and channels 0 to 127. + +To solve this mapping problem, stm class provides a policy management +mechanism via configfs, that allows defining rules that map string +identifiers to ranges of masters and channels. If these rules (policy) +are consistent with what decoder expects, it will be able to properly +process the trace data. + +This policy is a tree structure containing rules (policy_node) that +have a name (string identifier) and a range of masters and channels +associated with it, located in "stp-policy" subsystem directory in +configfs. The topmost directory's name (the policy) is formatted as +the STM device name to which this policy applies and and arbitrary +string identifier separated by a stop. From the examle above, a rule +may look like this: + +$ ls /config/stp-policy/dummy_stm.my-policy/user +channels masters +$ cat /config/stp-policy/dummy_stm.my-policy/user/masters +48 63 +$ cat /config/stp-policy/dummy_stm.my-policy/user/channels +0 127 + +which means that the master allocation pool for this rule consists of +masters 48 through 63 and channel allocation pool has channels 0 +through 127 in it. Now, any producer (trace source) identifying itself +with "user" identification string will be allocated a master and +channel from within these ranges. + +These rules can be nested, for example, one can define a rule "dummy" +under "user" directory from the example above and this new rule will +be used for trace sources with the id string of "user/dummy". + +Trace sources have to open the stm class device's node and write their +trace data into its file descriptor. In order to identify themselves +to the policy, they need to do a STP_POLICY_ID_SET ioctl on this file +descriptor providing their id string. Otherwise, they will be +automatically allocated a master/channel pair upon first write to this +file descriptor according to the "default" rule of the policy, if such +exists. + +Some STM devices may allow direct mapping of the channel mmio regions +to userspace for zero-copy writing. One mappable page (in terms of +mmu) will usually contain multiple channels' mmios, so the user will +need to allocate that many channels to themselves (via the +aforementioned ioctl() call) to be able to do this. That is, if your +stm device's channel mmio region is 64 bytes and hardware page size is +4096 bytes, after a successful STP_POLICY_ID_SET ioctl() call with +width==64, you should be able to mmap() one page on this file +descriptor and obtain direct access to an mmio region for 64 channels. + +For kernel-based trace sources, there is "stm_source" device +class.
