Rather than the patch I posted in my previous email, I think below new
patch is more reasonable for me.
In the below change, 'etmq->prev_packet' is only used to store the
previous CS_ETM_RANGE packet, we don't need to save CS_ETM_TRACE_ON
packet into 'etmq->prev_packet'.
On the other hand, cs_etm__flush() can use 'etmq->period_instructions'
to indicate if need to generate instruction sample or not. If it's
non-zero, then generate instruction sample and
'etmq->period_instructions' will be cleared; so next time if there
have more tracing CS_ETM_TRACE_ON packet, it can skip to generate
instruction sample due 'etmq->period_instructions' is zero.
How about you think for this?
Thanks,
Leo Yan
