The existing mechanism to assign Trace ID values to sources is limited and does not scale for larger multicore / multi trace source systems. The API introduces functions that reserve IDs based on availabilty represented by a coresight_trace_id_map structure. This records the used and free IDs in a bitmap. CPU bound sources such as ETMs use the coresight_trace_id_get_cpu_id coresight_trace_id_put_cpu_id pair of functions. The API will record the ID associated with the CPU. This ensures that the same ID will be re-used while perf events are active on the CPU. The put_cpu_id function will pend release of the ID until all perf cs_etm sessions are complete. For backward compatibility the functions will attempt to use the same CPU IDs as the legacy system would have used if these are still available. Non-cpu sources, such as the STM can use coresight_trace_id_get_system_id / coresight_trace_id_put_system_id.

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.
