Thoses patches add parent_trigger attribute to IIO triggers.
The goal is to allow triggers to use triggers like is this done for iio
devices.
With this patch it will be possible to chain triggers, for example
stm32 triggers could be used as clock of an other triggers:
echo "tim1_trgo" > trigger0/parent_trigger.
Similary to what already exist to validate a device, a new (optional)
validate_trigger function is added in iio_trigger structure and should be
filled by drivers.

iio: Allow triggers to be used as parent of others triggers

We believe we have found a GCOV regression issue in the 4.4 based kernel.
Our Linaro kernel based on lsk-v4.4-16.09 works after enabling GCOV with
following configurations:
CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL=y
CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL=y
CONFIG_GCOV_FORMAT_AUTODETECT=y
After merging in lsk-v4.4-16.11, the kernel with above GCOV configurations
does not boot.
We looked at the Linaro commit history and tried gradual merging, and
determined the problem happens between these two commits:
aa9b1a6affdc4da75d95d40cf83167351b9848b4 (this is bad)
b67b1ab417fe73a632583cdd7b710e4450c9d4ec (this is good)
There are 12 commits in between. We noticed almost all changes in the
commits are in KVM area. So we tried building our kernel with GCOV enabled
and with CONFIG_KVM removed. The kernel boots fine.
We think there is an issue with KVM in lsk-v4.4-16.11 if GCOV is enabled.
And the issue was probably introduced in the 12 commits. We would be
grateful if someone can verify the existence of the issue and provide a
fix. We are more than happy to test any patches.
Thank you.

determined the problem happens between these two commits:
aa9b1a6affdc4da75d95d40cf83167351b9848b4 (this is bad)
b67b1ab417fe73a632583cdd7b710e4450c9d4ec (this is good)
There are 12 commits in between. We noticed almost all changes in the
commits are in KVM area. So we tried building our kernel with GCOV enabled
and with CONFIG_KVM removed. The kernel boots fine.
We think there is an issue with KVM in lsk-v4.4-16.11 if GCOV is enabled.
And the issue was probably introduced in the 12 commits. We would be
grateful if someone can verify the existence of the issue and provide a
fix. We are more than happy to test any patches.
Thank you.
