We collect the trace from the TRBE on FILL event from IRQ context
and when via update_buffer(), when the event is stopped. Let us

s/"and when via"/"and via"

consolidate how we calculate the trace generated into a helper.

In both arm_trbe_alloc_buffer() and trbe_handle_overflow() the base address is
acquired using get_trbe_base_pointer() but here it is referenced directly - any
reason for that?  It certainly makes reviewing this simple patch quite
difficult because I keep wondering if I am missing something subtle...

Very good observation. So far, we always prgrammed the TRBBASER with the
the VA(ring_buffer[0]). And thus reading the BASER and using the
buf->trbe_base is all fine.

But going forward, we are going to use different values for the TRBBASER
to work around erratum. Thus to make the computation of the "offsets"
within the ring buffer, it is always correct to use this field. I could
move this to the patch where the work around is introduced, and put in
a comment there.

That will be greatly appreciated.

I have moved this to the patch, which introduces the concept of "TRBE 
using" a different BASE address than the beginning of the ring buffer.

Thanks
Suzuki
