Alexander Shishkin 1c090575b0 stm class: Select configfs
STM policy handling is basically configfs, I honestly don't know how we
ended up without a Kconfig dependency, but thanks to randconfig testing,
it's now caught.

Alexander Shishkin e3e5a3d3da stm class: stm_console: Add kernel-console-over-stm driver
This is a simple stm_source class device driver (kernelspace stm trace
source) that registers a console and sends kernel messages over STM
devices.

Alexander Shishkin 2c41538191 stm class: dummy_stm: Add dummy driver for testing stm class
This is a simple module that pretends to be an stm device and discards
all the data that comes in. Useful for testing stm class and its users.

Alexander Shishkin 7bd1d4093c stm class: Introduce an abstraction for System Trace Module devices
A System Trace Module (STM) is a device exporting data in System Trace
Protocol (STP) format as defined by MIPI STP standards. Examples of such
devices are Intel(R) Trace Hub and Coresight STM.

This abstraction provides a unified interface for software trace sources
to send their data over an STM device to a debug host. In order to do
that, such a trace source needs to be assigned a pair of master/channel
identifiers that all the data from this source will be tagged with. The
STP decoder on the debug host side will use these master/channel tags to
distinguish different trace streams from one another inside one STP
stream.

This abstraction provides a configfs-based policy management mechanism
for dynamic allocation of these master/channel pairs based on trace
source-supplied string identifier. It has the flexibility of being
defined at runtime and at the same time (provided that the policy
definition is aligned with the decoding end) consistency.

For userspace trace sources, this abstraction provides write()-based and
mmap()-based (if the underlying stm device allows this) output mechanism.

For kernel-side trace sources, we provide "stm_source" device class that
can be connected to an stm device at run time.
