[PATCH v5 07/14] gtrace: Add function to copy into perf AUX buffer
From: Mayuresh Chitale
Date: Mon Aug 10 2026 - 11:46:58 EST
From: Anup Patel <anup.patel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
The RISC-V trace ramsink will need a mechanism to copy trace data
into the perf AUX buffer. Add gtrace_path_copyto_auxbuf() function
and corresponding trace driver callback copyto_auxbuf() for this
purpose.
