Subject: [PATCH 18/25] perf cs-etm: Unify timeless buffer decoding
Date: Tue, 15 Sep 2026 16:49:04 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260915-arm_cs_support_aux_sample-v1-18-35cf6f297d20@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260915-arm_cs_support_aux_sample-v1-0-35cf6f297d20@arm.com>
Per-thread and per-CPU timeless decoding use separate loops for the same
buffer processing. Per-thread mode already collects packets in a single
trace ID queue, so both modes can share the queue iteration.
Use cs_etm__run_timeless_decoder() for both modes, keeping the thread
selection in the caller. Propagate packet processing and end-of-block
errors through the common decoding path.
