Subject: [PATCH 21/25] perf cs-etm: Complete packet draining with end of trace
Date: Tue, 15 Sep 2026 16:49:07 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260915-arm_cs_support_aux_sample-v1-21-35cf6f297d20@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260915-arm_cs_support_aux_sample-v1-0-35cf6f297d20@arm.com>

OpenCSD can retain output at the end of an input block even after
returning CONT. WAIT driven flushing alone does not use out that output
before the decoder is reset for the next block.

Submit OCSD_OP_EOT from cs_etm_decoder__drain_packets() after any
pending WAIT response has been flushed. Track submission with the
eot_sent flag and clear it on reset, make sure to submit EOT only once.
This applies to timeless decoding, timestamped decoding and raw packet
dumping through their existing drain calls.

Return OCSD_RESP_CONT for a clean EOT without queuing a discontinuity.
This lets the frontend finish draining while preserving trace history
for sample processing. EOT reporting trace loss, NO_SYNC and TRACE_ON
still generate discontinuities and flush the thread stack.
