This series is to enable AUX pause and resume on Arm CoreSight.
The first patch extracts the trace unit controlling operations to two functions. These two functions will be used by AUX pause and resume.
Patches 02 and 03 change the ETMv4 driver to prepare callback functions for AUX pause and resume.
Patch 04 changes the ETM perf layer to support AUX pause and resume in a perf session. The patches 05 and 06 offers an extra feature for updating buffer on AUX pause occasion, which can mitigate the trace data lose issue.
Patch 07 documents the AUX pause usages with Arm CoreSight. The last patch syncs headers between user space and the kernel.
This patch set has been verified on the Hikey960 board and TC platform. The previous one uses ETR and the later uses TRBE as sink.
It is suggested to disable CPUIdle (add `nohlt` option in Linux command line) when verifying this series. ETM and funnel drivers are found issues during CPU suspend and resume which will be addressed separately.
