Is this really required ? There is a WARN_ON(is_trbe_running(trbsr))
above ?

Also, setting this would unnecessarily mark COLLISION while stopping the
TRBE buffer normally (when called from arm_trbe_update_buffer), when
there is no WRAP event ?

Couldn't this be :
/* Move the big fat comment here */
if (is_trbe_wrap(trbsr)) {
perf_aux_output_flag(handle, PERF_AUX_FLAG_COLLISION);
return TRBE_FAULT_ACT_WRAP;
}
