The Trace Filtering support (FEAT_TRF) ensures that the ETM can be prohibited from generating any trace for a given EL. This is much stricter knob, than the TRCVICTLR exception level masks, which doesn't prevent the ETM from generating Context packets for an "excluded" EL. At the moment, we do a onetime enable trace at user and kernel and leave it untouched for the kernel life time. This implies that the ETM could potentially generate trace packets containing the kernel addresses, and thus leaking the kernel virtual address in the trace. This patch makes the switch dynamic, by honoring the filters set by the user and enforcing them in the TRFCR controls. We also rename the cpu_enable_tracing() appropriately to cpu_detect_trace_filtering() and the drvdata member trfc => trfcr to indicate the "value" of the TRFCR_EL1.

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.
