[PATCH 03/17] perf: cs-etm: Create decoders after both AUX and HW_ID search passes

James Clark james.clark at arm.com
Mon Apr 29 08:21:48 PDT 2024


Both of these passes gather information about how to create the
decoders. AUX records determine formatted/unformatted, and the HW_IDs
determine the traceID/metadata mappings. Therefore it makes sense to
cache the information and wait until both passes are over until creating
the decoders, rather than creating them at the first HW_ID found. This
will allow a simplification of the creation process where
cs_etm_queue->traceid_list will exclusively used to create the decoders,
rather than the current two methods depending on whether the trace is
formatted or not.

Previously the sample CPU from the AUX record was used to initialize
the decoder CPU, but actually sample CPU == AUX queue index in per-CPU
mode, so saving the sample CPU isn't required. Similarly
formatted/unformatted was used upfront to create the decoders, but now
it's cached until later.
