The TRBE driver marks the AUX buffer as TRUNCATED when we get an IRQ
on FILL event. This has rather unwanted side-effect of the event
being disabled when there may be more space in the ring buffer.
So, instead of TRUNCATE we need a different flag to indicate
that the trace may have lost a few bytes (i.e from the point of
generating the FILL event until the IRQ is consumed). Anyways, the
userspace must use the size from RECORD_AUX headers to restrict
the "trace" decoding.
Using PARTIAL flag causes the perf tool to generate the
following warning:
Warning:
AUX data had gaps in it XX times out of YY!
Are you running a KVM guest in the background?
which is pointlessly scary for a user. The other remaining options
are :
- COLLISION - Use by SPE to indicate samples collided
- Add a new flag - Specifically for CoreSight, doesn't sound
so good, if we can re-use something.
Given that we don't already use the "COLLISION" flag, the above
behavior can be notified using this flag for CoreSight.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
