[PATCH v3 06/12] rvtrace: Add function to copy into perf AUX buffer

From: Anup Patel <hidden>
Date: 2026-02-25 06:25:36
Also in: linux-riscv, lkml
Subsystem: hardware tracing facilities, the rest · Maintainers: Alexander Shishkin, Linus Torvalds

The RISC-V trace ramsink will need a mechanism to copy trace data
into the perf AUX buffer. Add rvtrace_path_copyto_auxbuf() function
and corresponding trace driver callback copyto_auxbuf() for this
purpose.
