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.

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.
