We are about to add the support for ETR builtin scatter-gather mode for dealing with large amount of trace buffers. However, on some of the platforms, using the ETR SG mode can lock up the system due to the way the ETR is connected to the memory subsystem. In SG mode, the ETR performs READ from the scatter-gather table to fetch the next page and regular WRITE of trace data. If the READ operation doesn't complete(due to the memory subsystem issues, which we have seen on a couple of platforms) the trace WRITE cannot proceed leading to issues. So, we by default do not use the SG mode, unless it is known to be safe on the platform. We define a DT property for the TMC node to specify whether we have a proper SG mode.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
