[PATCH 0/2] perf cs-etm: Queue context packets for frontend

[James Clark]

Fix thread tracking when decoding Coresight trace and add a new test for
it.

Unfortunately the test has to be added as a separate binary like the
other existing Coresight workloads which needs a bit of makefile
boilerplate. Ideally it would be a builtin Perf test workload, but Perf
has a lot of dependencies and generates a lot of trace when starting up
which makes tracing tests very slow because all that has to be decoded.

Hopefully I can find a generic way to enable Perf events at the
beginning of the workload and then I can migrate everything from
tools/perf/tests/shell/coresight to Perf test workloads, but that will
have to be done as a separate change.
