Subject: [PATCH v12 06/30] tracing: Add reset to trace remotes
Date: Thu, 19 Feb 2026 15:02:43 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260219150307.14538-7-vdonnefort@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260219150307.14538-1-vdonnefort@google.com>
Allow to reset the trace remote buffer by writing to the Tracefs "trace"
file. This is similar to the regular Tracefs interface.
