The tracer has one event, event 0x26, with two subtypes: - Subtype 0: Ownership change - Subtype 1: Traces available An ownership change occurs in the following cases: 1- Owner releases his ownership, in this case, an event will be sent to inform others to reattempt acquire ownership. 2- Ownership was taken by a higher priority tool, in this case the owner should understand that it lost ownership, and go through tear down flow. The second subtype indicates that there are traces in the trace buffer, in this case, the driver polls the tracer buffer for new traces, parse them and prepares the messages for printing. The HW starts tracing from the first address in the tracer buffer. Driver receives an event notifying that new trace block exists. HW posts a timestamp event at the last 8B of every 256B block. Comparing the timestamp to the last handled timestamp would indicate that this is a new trace block. Once the new timestamp is detected, the entire block is considered valid. Block validation and parsing, should be done after copying the current block to a different location, in order to avoid block overwritten during processing.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
