+Trace Setup and Control
+=======================
+In the kernel, the trace interface provides a simple mechanism for
+starting and managing data channels (traces) to user space.  The
+trace interface builds on the relay interface.  For a complete
+description of the relay interface, please see:
+Documentation/filesystems/relay.txt.
+
+The trace interface provides a single layer in a complete tracing
+application.  Trace provides a kernel API that can be used for the setup
+and control of tracing channels.  User of trace must provide a data layer
+responsible for formatting and writing data into the trace channels.
+
+A layered approach to tracing
+=============================
+A complete kernel tracing application consists of a data provider and
+a data consumer.  Both provider and consumer contain three layers; each
+layer works in tandem with the corresponding layer in the opposite side.
+The layers are represented in the following diagram.
+
+Provider Data layer
+	Formats raw trace data and provides data-related service.
+	For example, adding timestamps used by consumer to sort data.
+
+Provider Control layer
+	Provided by the trace interface, this layer creates trace channels
+	and informs the data layer and consumer of the current state
+	of the trace channels.
+
+Provider Buffering layer
+	Provided by relay. This layer buffers data in the
+	kernel for consumption by the consumer's buffer
+	layer.
+
+Provider (in-kernel facility)
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Consumer (user application)
+
+
+Consumer Buffer layer
+	Reads/consumes data from the provider's data buffers.
+
+Consumer Control layer
+	Communicates to the provider's control layer to control the state
+	of the trace channels.
+
+Consumer Data layer
+	Sorts and formats data as provided by the provider's data layer.
+
+The provider is coded as a kernel facility.  The consumer is coded as
+a user application.
+
+
+Trace - Features
+================
+Trace exploits services and features provided by relay.  These features
+are:
+- The creation and destruction of relay channels.
+- Buffer management.  Overwrite or non-overwrite modes can be selected
+  as well as global or per-CPU buffering.
+
+Overwrite mode can be called "flight recorder mode".  Flight recorder
+mode is selected by setting the TRACE_FLIGHT_CHANNEL flag when
+creating trace channels.  In flight mode when a tracing buffer is
+full, the oldest records in the buffer will be discarded to make room
+as new records arrive. In the default non-overwrite mode, new records
+may be written only if the buffer has room.  In either case, to
+prevent data loss, a user space reader must keep the buffers
+drained. Trace provides a means to detect the number of records that
+have been dropped due to a buffer-full condition (non-overwrite mode
+only).
+
+When per-CPU buffers are used, relay creates one debugfs file for each
+running CPU.  The user-space consumer of the data is responsible for
+reading the per-CPU buffers and collating the records presumably using
+a time stamp or sequence number included in the trace records.  The
+use of global buffers eliminates this extra work of sequencing
+records; however the provider's data layer must hold a lock when
+writing records.  The lock prevents writers running on different CPUs
+from overwriting each other's data.  However, buffering may be slower
+because writes to the buffer are serialized. Global buffering is
+selected by setting the TRACE_GLOBAL_CHANNEL flag when creating trace
+channels.
+
+Trace User Interface
+===================
+When a trace channel is created and started, the following
+directories and files are created in the root of the mounted debugfs.
+
+/debug (root of the debugfs)
+	/<trace-root-dir>
+		/<trace-name>
+			trace[0...N-1]     Per-CPU trace data, one
+					   file per CPU.
+
+			state		   Start or stop tracing by
+					   by writing the strings
+					   "start" or "stop" to this
+					   file. Read the file to get the
+					   current state.
+
+			dropped		   The number of records dropped
+					   due to a full-buffer condition,
+					   for non-TRACE_FLIGHT_CHANNELs
+					   only.
+
+			rewind		   Trigger a rewind by writing
+					   to this file.  i.e. start
+					   next read at the beginning
+					   again. Only available for
+					   TRACE_FLIGHT_CHANNELS.
+
+
+			nr_sub		   Number of sub-buffers
+					   in the channel.
+
+			sub_size	   Size of sub-buffers in
+					   the channnel.
+
+Trace data is gathered from the trace[0...N] files using one of the
+available interfaces provided by relay.
+
+When using the read(2) interface, as data is read it is marked as
+consumed by the relay subsystem.  Therefore, subsequent reads will
+only return unconsumed data.
+
+Trace Kernel API
+===============
+An overview of the trace Kernel API is now given. More details of the
+API can be found in linux/trace.h.
+
+The steps a kernel data provider takes to utilize the trace interface are:
+1) Set up a trace channel - trace_setup()
+2) Start the trace channel - trace_start()
+3) Write one or more trace records into the channel (using the relay API).
+
+   Important: When writing a trace record the provider must insure that
+   preemption is disabled and that trace state is  set to "running". A
+   typical function used to write records into a trace channel should
+   follow the following semantics:
+
+	rcu_read_lock();	    // disables preemption
+	if (trace_running(trace)){
+		relay_write(....); // use any available relay data
+				   // function
+	}
+	rcu_read_unlock();	   // enables preemption
+
+4) Stop and start tracing as desired - trace_start()/trace_stop()
+5) Destroy the trace channel and underlying relay channel -
+   trace_cleanup().
