In the below change, 'etmq->prev_packet' is only used to store the previous CS_ETM_RANGE packet, we don't need to save CS_ETM_TRACE_ON packet into 'etmq->prev_packet'. On the other hand, cs_etm__flush() can use 'etmq->period_instructions' to indicate if need to generate instruction sample or not. If it's non-zero, then generate instruction sample and 'etmq->period_instructions' will be cleared; so next time if there have more tracing CS_ETM_TRACE_ON packet, it can skip to generate instruction sample due 'etmq->period_instructions' is zero. How about you think for this? Thanks, Leo Yan
