Subject: [PATCH v3 0/6] tracing: export event trace and trace_marker

Ftrace has ability to export trace packets to other destination.
Currently, only function trace can be exported. This series extends the
support to event trace and trace_maker. STM is one possible destination to
export ftrace. Use separate channel for each CPU to avoid mixing up packets
from different CPUs together.

Change from v2:
Change flag definition to BIT(). (Steven)
Add comment in stm_ftrace_write() to clarify it's safe to use
smp_processor_id() here since preempt is disabled. (Steven)

Change from v1:
All changes are suggested by Steven Rostedt.
User separate flag to control function trace, event trace and trace mark.
Allocate channels according to num_possible_cpu() dynamically.
Move ftrace_exports routines up so all ftrace can use them.

Tingwei Zhang (6):
stm class: ftrace: change dependency to TRACING
tracing: add flag to control different traces
tracing: add trace_export support for event trace
tracing: add trace_export support for trace_marker
stm class: ftrace: enable supported trace export flag
stm class: ftrace: use different channel accroding to CPU

Thanks a lot for detail clarification, Steven.

As the get_maintainer script points out, you are missing the maintainer of the
system trace subsystem.

Sorry for missing that. I resent the patch and add Alexander.
