[RFC PATCH 2/4] trace: Introduce an output interface from ftrace to STM

Show all headers | View raw

This patch is introducing a new function to print Ftrace messages
to STM buffer when the traces happen.  In order to reduce the
effect on timing overhead as much as possible, only the current
function and its parent ip address will be recorded into STM in
this patch.  This idea was first introduced by Philippe Langlais
at ST-Microelectronics a long time ago[1].
