[PATCH v1 3/6] perf cs-etm: Fix start tracing packet handling

From: Leo Yan
Date: Mon Jun 18 2018 - 01:10:56 EST


Usually the start tracing packet is a CS_ETM_TRACE_ON packet, this
packet is passed to cs_etm__flush(); cs_etm__flush() will check the
condition 'prev_packet->sample_type == CS_ETM_RANGE' but 'prev_packet'
is allocated by zalloc() so 'prev_packet->sample_type' is zero in
initialization and this condition is false. So cs_etm__flush() will
directly bail out without handling the start tracing packet.

This patch is to introduce a new sample type CS_ETM_EMPTY, which is used
to indicate the packet is an empty packet. cs_etm__flush() will swap
packets when it finds the previous packet is empty, so this can record
the start tracing packet into 'etmq->prev_packet'.
