Package messages from ftrace source with SyS-T Structured Binary Data
(later SBD) header and 64-bit ID. This provides modification-free
compatibility between ftrace and SyS-T arguments structure by applying
0xFFFF mask on message ID.
This happens due to the fact that SBD and ftrace structures have the
same principle of data storage: <header><args binary blob>.
The headers are bit-to-bit compatible and both contain event/catalog ID
with the exception, that ftrace header contains more fields within 64
bits which needs to be masked during encoding process, since SBD
standard doesn't support mask of ID field.

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 reStructuredText 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.
