In the previous patch set for fixing CoreSight snapshot mode [1], the patch for perf tool has been merged into the mainline kernel [2]; other two patches for CoreSight driver have been left out.
This patch series resends these two missed out patches, alongside patches 01 and 02 are updated with minor improvement commits.
This patch series has been tested on Arm64 Juno board.
Changes from v2: - Minor improvement the commits for patches 01 and 02.

Leo Yan (2): coresight: tmc-etr: Use perf_output_handle::head for AUX ring buffer coresight: Update comments for removing cs_etm_find_snapshot()
drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-etb10.c | 2 +- drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-tmc-etf.c | 2 +- drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-tmc-etr.c | 12 ++++-------- 3 files changed, 6 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-)
When enable the Arm CoreSight PMU event, the context for AUX ring buffer is prepared in the structure perf_output_handle, and its field "head" points the head of the AUX ring buffer and it is updated after filling AUX trace data into buffer.
Current code uses an extra field etr_perf_buffer::head to maintain the header for the AUX ring buffer which is not necessary; alternatively, it's better to directly use perf_output_handle::head.
This patch removes the field etr_perf_buffer::head and directly uses perf_output_handle::head for the head of AUX ring buffer.

As such I would avoid referencing "userspace" function names in the kernel driver. Please could we remove it or make it generic ?
Also, remember, perf is not the only userspace tool driving the kernel perf.

Okay, I'd like to remove the specific function name from the comment so can make the comment generic as:
"User space will figure out how many bytes to get from the AUX buffer based on the position of the head."
This info can remind us how the userspace and kernel co-work for snapshot mode if later we read the code.
If no objection, I will respin with this way.
Also, remember, perf is not the only userspace tool driving the kernel perf.
Good point.
Thanks for review, Leo

Yes please, that sounds perfect.
