[PATCH v2 09/13] perf: cs-etm: Update record event to use new Trace ID protocol

From: Mike Leach
Date: Mon Jul 04 2022 - 04:12:34 EST


Trace IDs are now dynamically allocated.

Previously used the static association algorithm that is no longer
used. The 'cpu * 2 + seed' was outdated and broken for systems with high
core counts (>46). as it did not scale and was broken for larger
core counts.

Trace ID is as unknown in AUXINFO record, and the ID / CPU association
will now be sent in PERF_RECORD_AUX_OUTPUT_HW_ID record.

Remove legacy Trace ID allocation algorithm.
