[PATCH 4/6] Documentations: Add explanations of the case for non-configurable masters

Show all headers | View raw

For some STM hardware (e.g. ARM CoreSight STM), the masterID associated
to a source is set at the hardware level and not user configurable.
Since the masterID information isn't available to SW, introducing
a new value of -1 to reflect this reality.

 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".
