Leo Yan bb5f23ae16 coresight: etm4x: Add context synchronization before enabling trace
[ Upstream commit 64eb04ae545294e105ad91714dc3167a0b660731 ]

According to the software usage PKLXF in Arm ARM (ARM DDI 0487 L.a), a
Context synchronization event is required before enabling the trace
unit.

An ISB is added to meet this requirement, particularly for guarding the
operations in the flow:

  etm4x_allow_trace()
   `> kvm_tracing_set_el1_configuration()
	`> write_sysreg_s(trfcr_while_in_guest, SYS_TRFCR_EL12)

Improved the barrier comments to provide more accurate information.

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.
