[PATCH v6 05/14] gtrace: Add functions to start/stop tracing on a component path
From: Mayuresh Chitale
Date: Thu Oct 01 2026 - 01:25:23 EST
The perf driver framework needs to be able to start / stop all components
in a trace component path during its operation. Add gtrace_path_start()
and gtrace_path_stop() functions for this purpose.
