[PATCH v2 15/16] coresight: Re-emit trace IDs when the sink changes in per-thread mode

Tue Jun 4 07:30:24 PDT 2024


In per-cpu mode there are multiple aux buffers and each one has a
fixed sink, so the hw ID mappings which only need to be emitted once
for each buffer, even with the new per-sink trace ID pools.

But in per-thread mode there is only a single buffer which can be
written to from any sink with now potentially overlapping trace IDs, so
hw ID mappings need to be re-emitted every time the sink changes.

This will require a change in Perf to track this so it knows which
decode tree to use for each segment of the buffer. In theory it's also
possible to look at the CPU ID on the AUX records, but this is more
consistent with the existing system, and allows for correct decode using
either mechanism.
