[PATCH V12 06/14] perf/x86/intel/pt: Add support for pause / resume
From: Adrian Hunter
Date: Thu Oct 10 2024 - 11:08:57 EST
Prevent tracing to start if aux_paused.
Implement support for PERF_EF_PAUSE / PERF_EF_RESUME. When aux_paused, stop
tracing. When not aux_paused, only start tracing if it isn't currently
meant to be stopped.

Changes in V12:
Rebase on current tip plus patch set "KVM: x86: Fix Intel PT Host/Guest
mode when host tracing"
Changes in V9:
Add more comments and barriers for resume_allowed and
pause_allowed
Always use WRITE_ONCE with resume_allowed
