Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] perf: tools: cs-etm: Fix print issue for Coresight debug in ETE/TRBE trace
Date: Wed, 18 Mar 2026 10:36:39 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260318103640.464982-1-mike.leach@arm.com> (raw)
Building perf with CORESIGHT=1 and the optional CSTRACE_RAW=1 enables
additional debug printing of raw trace data when using command:-
perf report --dump.
This raw trace prints the CoreSight formatted trace frames, which may be
used to investigate suspected issues with trace quality / corruption /
decode.
These frames are not present in ETE + TRBE trace.
This fix removes the unnecessary call to print these frames.
This fix also rationalises implementation - original code had helper
function that unnecessarily repeated initialisation calls that had
already been made.
Due to an addtional fault with the OpenCSD library, this call when ETE/TRBE
are being decoded will cause a segfault in perf. This fix also prevents
that problem for perf using older (<= 1.8.0 version) OpenCSD libraries.
Fixes: 68ffe3902898 ("perf tools: Add decoder mechanic to support dumping trace data")
