Subject: [PATCH V2 1/4] trace: Introduce an output interface from ftrace to STM

This patch is introducing a new output 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's instruction pointer will be recorded
into STM. This idea was first introduced by Philippe Langlais
at ST-Microelectronics a long time ago[1].
