[PATCH 05/25] coresight: perf: Extract AUX buffer update helper
From: Leo Yan
Date: Tue Sep 15 2026 - 12:04:49 EST
The pause and stop callbacks duplicate the sequence that updates a sink
buffer and finishes the current AUX output transaction. Move the common
sequence into etm_event_update_buffer() for a single implementation.
The helper first verifies that perf handle is active. It updates the
buffer when PERF_EF_UPDATE is requested and otherwise ends the
transaction without data. The pause callback can then start a new perf
handle for resuming trace.
