[-- Attachment #2: gtsc.patch --]
[-- Type: text/x-patch, Size: 14144 bytes --]

This patch introduces the Generic Trace Setup and Control (GTSC) API.
In the kernel, GTSC provides a simple API for starting and managing
data channels to user space.  GTSC builds on the relay interface.
The documentation for the GTSC is provided in a separate patch.
