Usually the start tracing packet is a CS_ETM_TRACE_ON packet, this packet is passed to cs_etm__flush(); cs_etm__flush() will check the condition 'prev_packet->sample_type == CS_ETM_RANGE' but 'prev_packet' is allocated by zalloc() so 'prev_packet->sample_type' is zero in initialization and this condition is false. So cs_etm__flush() will directly bail out without handling the start tracing packet.
This patch is to introduce a new sample type CS_ETM_EMPTY, which is used to indicate the packet is an empty packet. cs_etm__flush() will swap packets when it finds the previous packet is empty, so this can record the start tracing packet into 'etmq->prev_packet'.
