Hi,

Using the sysfs doesn't guarantee that the ETR actually uses SG mode, unless
the buffer size selected is > 1M, which is why I am more interested in the
perf usage. Alternatively you may configure a larger buffer size (say, 8MB) via:

echo 0x800000 > /sys/bus/coresight/.../tmc_etr0/buffer_size


Yes, you had mentioned about setting buffer size > 1M in the same thread[1] and I had followed the same.

As said in one of the series initially [1], QCOM msm downstream kernels
have been using scatter gather mode and we haven't seen any fatal issues.

I haven't seen any test results there either.


You did not ask for it there ;)

I do not have the test results handy now and those platforms.
I will arrange for them and post some test results.

Just to confirm, do you need some traces or just the buffer size
and sink set?

Thanks,
Sai
