The callback cs_etm_find_snapshot() is invoked for snapshot mode, its
main purpose is to find the correct AUX trace data and returns "head"
and "old" (we can call "old" as "old head") to the caller, the caller
__auxtrace_mmap__read() uses these two pointers to decide the AUX trace
data size.
This patch removes cs_etm_find_snapshot() with below reasons:
- The first thing in cs_etm_find_snapshot() is to check if the head has
wrapped around, if it is not, directly bails out. The checking is
pointless, this is because the "head" and "old" pointers both are
monotonical increasing so they never wrap around.
- cs_etm_find_snapshot() adjusts the "head" and "old" pointers and
assumes the AUX ring buffer is fully filled with the hardware trace
data, so it always subtracts the difference "mm->len" from "head" to
get "old". Let's imagine the snapshot is taken in very short
interval, the tracers only fill a small chunk of the trace data into
the AUX ring buffer, in this case, it's wrongly to copy the whole the
AUX ring buffer to perf file.
- As the "head" and "old" pointers are monotonically increased, the
function __auxtrace_mmap__read() handles these two pointers properly.
It calculates the reminders for these two pointers, and the size is
clamped to be never more than "snapshot_size". We can simply reply on
the function __auxtrace_mmap__read() to calculate the correct result
for data copying, it's not necessary to add Arm CoreSight specific
callback.
