[PATCH v5 05/14] gtrace: Add functions to start/stop tracing on a component path

Mon Aug 10 08:22:07 PDT 2026


The perf driver framework needs to be able to start / stop all components
in a trace component path during its operation. Add gtrace_path_start()
and gtrace_path_stop() functions for this purpose.
