mainlining shenanigans
615c164da0
Introduces a concept of external buffers, which is a mechanism for creating trace sinks that would receive trace data from MSC buffers and transfer it elsewhere. A external buffer can implement its own window allocation/deallocation if it has to. It must provide a callback that's used to notify it when a window fills up, so that it can then start a DMA transaction from that window 'elsewhere'. This window remains in a 'locked' state and won't be used for storing new trace data until the buffer 'unlocks' it with a provided API call, at which point the window can be used again for storing trace data. This relies on a functional "last block" interrupt, so not all versions of Trace Hub can use this feature, which does not reflect on existing users.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
