I fear we are exposing internal kernel information. > Mathieu, These are useful to analyse/debug the trace session. e.g, we could compare RRP/RWP with DBA to see if the trace is actually generated or not. As such, we already expose RRP/RWP. Exposing DBA doesn't expose more information than we do already. Also, when we add SG support this will be useful, as DBA will never match (or be in the range of) RRP/RWP. The AXICTL may not be of any significance right now, but will be useful once we add scatter gather support, to check which mode are we operating in. Let me know if you still have concerns.
