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

I ran your patch set against get_maintainers.pl and it came up with this:

Alexander Shishkin <[email protected]> (maintainer:SYSTEM TRACE MODULE CLASS)
Maxime Coquelin <[email protected]> (maintainer:ARM/STM32 ARCHITECTURE)
Alexandre Torgue <[email protected]> (maintainer:ARM/STM32 ARCHITECTURE)
Steven Rostedt <[email protected]> (maintainer:TRACING)
Ingo Molnar <[email protected]> (maintainer:TRACING)
[email protected] (moderated list:ARM/STM32 ARCHITECTURE)
[email protected] (moderated list:ARM/STM32 ARCHITECTURE)
[email protected] (open list)

I would use that to know who to send to.

You have Alexander, myself, Ingo and LKML, but you should add the others in
that list for this series, and then it may get noticed. Please use
get_maintainers.pl for future patches if you don't know who to send them to.

Thanks a lot for the detail instructions, Steve. I noticed that after
senting previous mail to Alexander.

I sent the patchset to maintainers and mail list as you mentioned in
https://patchwork.kernel.org/cover/11752107/.
