coresight: Fix erroneous memset in tmc_read_unprepare_etr At the end of a trace collection, we try to clear the entire buffer and enable the ETR back if it was already enabled. But, we would have adjusted the drvdata->buf to point to the beginning of the trace data in the trace buffer @drvdata->vaddr. So, the following code which clears the buffer is dangerous and can cause crashes, like below : memset(drvdata->buf, 0, drvdata->size); Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address ffffff800a145000 pgd = ffffffc974726000 *pgd=00000009f3e91003, *pud=00000009f3e91003, *pmd=0000000000000000 PREEMPT SMP Modules linked in: CPU: 4 PID: 1692 Comm: dd Not tainted 4.7.0-rc2+ #1721 Hardware name: ARM Juno development board (r0) (DT) task: ffffffc9734a0080 ti: ffffffc974460000 task.ti: ffffffc974460000 PC is at __memset+0x1ac/0x200 LR is at tmc_read_unprepare_etr+0x144/0x1bc pc : [<ffffff80083a05ac>] lr : [<ffffff800859c984>] pstate: 200001c5 ...
