Hi Zied,
Luis here. I work on GDB for ARM architectures.

Good afternoon, I would like to announce the breakthrough in extending gdb with non intrusive instructions and functions tracing on ARM processors using Coresight ETM traces, as described in previous mails. the source code is made public in the git repository https://github.com/gzied/binutils-gdb/ in the branch gdb_arm_coresight. this implementation was compiled and tested on an STM32MP1 (ARMv7 Architecture) board running "Linux arm 5.3.10-armv7-lpae-x15" distribution where the device tree was modified to declare CoreSight components.
That's great news! Are you planning on pursuing such changes upstream?
I'd like to go over your work on GDB to understand how it works and how it integrates with CoreSight.
Let's keep in touch and we can discuss what is needed if you want to have this work integrated into the GDB repository, which should make the work available to a broader audience.
Best regards, Luis
