Currently decode will silently fail if no binary data is available for
the decode. This is made worse if only partial data is available because
the decode will appear to work, but any trace from that missing DSO will
silently not be generated.
The decoder actually outputs a OCSD_GEN_TRC_ELEM_ADDR_NACC packet if
binary memory data is missing.
These packets are currently ignored by perf / cs-etm-decoder.c.

I think this per DSO warning is fine, but perhaps at some point add in
handling for OCSD_GEN_TRC_ELEM_ADDR_NACC - which perhaps is only
active when dumping trace packets.

Regards

Mike

Add a UI popup once if there is any data missing, and then warn in the
bottom left for each individual DSO that's missing.
Looks ok to me (the last 3 patches in this series, the rest I applied
already), can I get some Acked-by/Reviewed-by from the CoreSight people?
I have a substantial backlog of patches to go through and I will be away for the
next two weeks.  As such it will be some time before I get to review this set.

Regards,
Mathieu
