CoreSight System Trace Macrocell support

Registered by Michael Hope

STM is ARM specific hardware unit that can take trace data from user space, the kernel, and hardware devices and record the data to memory or out through a trace unit.

Discuss areas that this is useful for end developers, kernel impact, the userspace interface, any end user tools, and future areas needed on the JTAG/trace hardware side.

Note that there is an earlier 'Introduction to STM' session that covers the hardware, features, and possible use cases.
