[PATCH v3 0/5] fix inconsistencies with sysfs configuration in etmX

[Yeoreum Yun]

The current ETMx configuration via sysfs can lead to the following
inconsistencies:

  - If a configuration is modified via sysfs while a perf session is
    active, the running configuration may differ between before
    a sched-out and after a subsequent sched-in.

  - If a perf session and sysfs session tries to enable concurrently,
    configuration from configfs could be corrupted (etm4).

  - There is chance to corrupt drvdata->config if perf session tries
    to enabled among handling cscfg_csdev_disable_active_config()
    in etm4_disable_sysfs() (etm4).

To resolve these inconsistencies, the configuration should be separated into:

  - active_config, which is applied configuration for the current session
  - config, which stores the settings configured via sysfs.

and apply configuration from configfs after taking a mode.

This patch based on v7.0-rc7
