coresight: trbe: Do not truncate buffer on IRQ
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.
