[ Upstream commit fd380097cdb305582b7a1f9476391330299d2c59 ]
Perf cs_etm session executed unexpectedly when AUX buffer > 1G.
perf record -C 0 -m ,2G -e cs_etm// -- <workload>
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 2.615 MB perf.data ]
Perf only collect about 2M perf data rather than 2G. This is becasuse
the operation, "nr_pages << PAGE_SHIFT", in coresight tmc driver, will
overflow when nr_pages >= 0x80000(correspond to 1G AUX buffer). The
overflow cause buffer allocation to fail, and TMC driver will alloc
minimal buffer size(1M). You can just get about 2M perf data(1M AUX
buffer + perf data header) at least.
Explicit convert nr_pages to 64 bit to avoid overflow.

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.
