The head pointer of the AUX buffer managed by the arm_spe_pmu.c driver is not monotonically increasing, therefore the find_snapshot callback is needed in order to find the trace data within the AUX buffer and avoid wasting space in the perf.data file. The pointer is assumed to have wrapped if the buffer contains non-zero data at the end. If it has wrapped, the entire contents of the AUX buffer are stored in the perf.data file. Otherwise only the data up to the head pointer is stored.

README
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.
