Subject: [PATCH 05/25] coresight: perf: Extract AUX buffer update helper
Date: Tue, 15 Sep 2026 16:48:51 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260915-arm_cs_support_aux_sample-v1-5-35cf6f297d20@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260915-arm_cs_support_aux_sample-v1-0-35cf6f297d20@arm.com>
The pause and stop callbacks duplicate the sequence that updates a sink
buffer and finishes the current AUX output transaction. Move the common
sequence into etm_event_update_buffer() for a single implementation.
The helper first verifies that perf handle is active. It updates the
buffer when PERF_EF_UPDATE is requested and otherwise ends the
transaction without data. The pause callback can then start a new perf
handle for resuming trace.
