From ec99be8a31db999a4f866be74ea7db61dbb19f24 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Leo Yan Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2026 11:01:21 +0100 Subject: perf cs-etm: Avoid truncating AUX buffer sizes to int cs_etm__get_trace() returns an int, but it used to return etmq->buf_len on success. That value comes from auxtrace_buffer::size, which is a size_t. For a large AUX trace block, returning the byte count through an int can overflow and make a valid buffer look like a negative error. The callers do not need the actual byte count from cs_etm__get_trace(). The buffer length is already stored in the etmq->buf_len. The callers only need to distinguish three states: < 0: error = 0: no more AUX buffers > 0: data is available Make cs_etm__get_trace() return 0 for all non-error cases and use etmq->buf_len to indicate whether a new buffer was found. Then make cs_etm__get_data_block() return 1 whenever data is available, instead of returning the buffer length. Also refactor cs_etm__get_data_block() to make its return value semantics clearer.
