Changes since v1:
* Don't dereference handle in tmc_etr_get_buffer() when not in perf mode. * Fix some W=1 warnings * Add a commit to rename child/output in terms of local/remote
-------------------
Currently there is a refcount leak in CTI when using system wide mode or tracing multithreaded applications. See the last commit for a reproducer. This prevents the module from being unloaded.
Historically there have been a few issues and fixes attempted around here which have resulted in some extra logic and a member to keep track of CTI being enabled 'struct coresight_device->ect_enabled'. The fix in commit 665c157e0204 ("coresight: cti: Fix hang in cti_disable_hw()") was also related to CTI having its own enable/disable path which came later than other devices.
If we make CTI a helper device and enable helper devices adjacent to the path we get very similar enable/disable behavior to now, but with more reuse of the existing reference counting logic in the coresight core code. This also affects CATU which can have a little bit of its hard coded enable/disable code removed.
Enabling CATU on the generic path does require that input connections are tracked so that it can get its associated ETR buffer.
Applies to coresight/next (669c4614236a7) but also requires the realloc_array patch here [1].
Also available in full here [2].
