Hi Arnaldo,
This is a resend of a set previously published in November [1]. It adds support for ETMv3/PTM1.1 trace decoding. The work has been tested on TC2 and ST-Microelectronics' mp157c-ev1 boards. It also applies cleanly to your perf/core branch [2] and does not affect results yielded by "perf test".
If it is already in your set of patches to apply, please disregard and delete. Otherwise I would appreciate if you could consider adding to your next branch for the 4.21 cycle.
*** Before this set ***
$ perf report --stdio # To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options. # DCD_ETMV4_0020 : 0x0003 (OCSD_ERR_NOT_INIT) [Component not initialised.]; No decoder configuration information DCD_ETMV4_0022 : 0x0003 (OCSD_ERR_NOT_INIT) [Component not initialised.]; No decoder configuration information DCD_ETMV4_0024 : 0x0003 (OCSD_ERR_NOT_INIT) [Component not initialised.]; No decoder configuration information DCD_ETMV4_0020 : 0x0003 (OCSD_ERR_NOT_INIT) [Component not initialised.]; No decoder configuration information DCD_ETMV4_0022 : 0x0003 (OCSD_ERR_NOT_INIT) [Component not initialised.]; No decoder configuration information DCD_ETMV4_0024 : 0x0003 (OCSD_ERR_NOT_INIT) [Component not initialised.]; No decoder configuration information Warning: AUX data lost 2 times out of 2!
Error: The perf.data file has no samples!
