[PATCH v3 08/13] coresight: tmc-etr: Relax collection of trace from sysfs mode

From: suzuki.poulose@arm.com (Suzuki K Poulose)
Date: 2018-07-26 12:55:16
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: arm/coresight framework and drivers, hardware tracing facilities, the rest · Maintainers: Suzuki K Poulose, Alexander Shishkin, Linus Torvalds

Since the ETR now uses mode specific buffers, we can reliably
provide the trace data captured in sysfs mode, even when the ETR
is operating in PERF mode.
