Enable the trace in below steps will crash the kernel by NULL pointer
dereferencing:
echo 1 > /sys/bus/coresight/devices/tmc_etr0/enable_sink
echo 1 > /sys/bus/coresight/devices/etm0/enable_source
echo 0x400000 > /sys/bus/coresight/devices/tmc_etr0/buffer_size
echo 1 > /sys/bus/coresight/devices/etm2/enable_source
dd if=/dev/tmc_etr0 of=test_etm_sysfs_etr_030.data
The call trace will be like:
WARNING: CPU: 39 PID: 8586 at drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-tmc-etr.c:1123 __tmc_etr_disable_hw+0x108/0x140 [coresight_tmc]

Due to the buffer size changed, the buffer will be reallocated in
tmc_etr_get_sysfs_buffer() when the second source enabled. At trace
end tmc_etr_sync_sysfs_buf() will reset the drvdata->sysfs_buf and
trigger the later NULL pointer dereference when reading out the
data.
But it doesn't make sense to change the buffer size when it's
already in use. So block such behavior.
