Linux kernel source tree
7b382efd5e
There are applications that have it hard coded to write into the top level trace_marker instance (/sys/kernel/tracing/trace_marker). This can be annoying if a profiler is using that instance for other work, or if it needs all writes to go into a new instance. A new option is created called "copy_trace_marker". By default, the top level has this set, as that is the default buffer that writing into the top level trace_marker file will go to. But now if an instance is created and sets this option, all writes into the top level trace_marker will also be written into that instance buffer just as if an application were to write into the instance's trace_marker file. If the top level instance disables this option, then writes to its own trace_marker and trace_marker_raw files will not go into its buffer. If no instance has this option set, then the write will return an error and errno will contain ENODEV.

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.
