Subject: [PATCH 15/25] coresight: perf: Serialize AUX pause and resume with event stops
Date: Tue, 15 Sep 2026 16:49:01 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260915-arm_cs_support_aux_sample-v1-15-35cf6f297d20@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260915-arm_cs_support_aux_sample-v1-0-35cf6f297d20@arm.com>

A PMU NMI can throttle a group during an AUX pause or resume, stopping
its CoreSight event before the callback finishes. The callback can then
restart tracing or reopen an AUX output handle after teardown.

Use per-CPU atomic STOP and AUX bits to serialize these callbacks. Reject
AUX operations while a stop is pending and defer stops until an active
AUX operation finishes. Complete deferred stops through etm_event_stop()
and set PERF_HES_STOPPED only after disabling the source and path.
