On a spurious IRQ, right now we disable the TRBE and then re-enable it back, resetting the "buffer" pointers(i.e BASE, LIMIT and more importantly WRITE) to the original pointers from the AUX handle. This implies that we overwrite any trace that was written so far, (by overwriting TRBPTR) while we should have ignored the IRQ.
The ideas was that a state (pointers) reset would improve the chances of not getting the spurious IRQ once again. This is assuming that some thing during this current state machine, had caused the spurious IRQ. Hence just restart it back from the beginning. Yes, it does lose some trace data but whats the real possibility of such spurious IRQs in the first place ?
This patch cleans the behavior, by only stopping the TRBE if the IRQ was indeed raised, as we can read the TRBSR without stopping the TRBE (Only writes to the TRBSR requires the TRBE disabled). And also, on detecting a spurious IRQ after examining the TRBSR, we simply re-enable the TRBE without touching the other parameters.
This makes sense. I was not sure if TRBSR could be safely read without actually stopping the TRBE.

Warn here that a non-related IRQ has been delivered to this handler ? But moving the trbe_drain_and_disable_local() later, enables it to return back immediately after detecting an unrelated IRQ.
Not really. There could be race with the update_buffer(), see the comment right above that. When that happens, we have disabled the TRBE in the update_buffer(). Either case, we have nothing to do.

Actually there are two types of spurious interrupts here.
- Non-TRBE spurious interrupt
Fails is_trbe_irq() test and needs to be returned immediately from arm_trbe_irq_handler(), after an warning for the platform IRQ delivery wiring.
Not necessarily warrant a WARNING. See above.
- TRBE spurious interrupt
Clears is_trbe_irq() and get handled in trbe_handle_spurious(). I still think leaving this unchanged might be better as it reduces the chance of getting further spurious TRBE interrupts.
How does it reduce the chances of getting another spurious interrupt ? If the TRBE gets a spurious IRQ, that we cannot decode, I would rather leave it as NOP.
