Subject: [PATCH v2 5/5] coresight: etm3x: fix inconsistencies with sysfs configration
Date: Fri, 10 Apr 2026 08:43:10 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260410074310.2693385-6-yeoreum.yun@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260410074310.2693385-1-yeoreum.yun@arm.com>
The current ETM3x 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.
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 after taking a mode.
