[PATCH 19/24] gtrace: Add setup_sysfs_buf callback to setup sysfs sink buffer

From: Zane Leung

Date: Thu Oct 22 2026 - 23:21:36 EST


Add a setup_sysfs_buf() callback to gtrace_driver and invoke it from
gtrace_enable_sysfs() before the path is started, so the sink can
allocate its sysfs trace buffer outside the spinlock held by the core
start path.
