This commit supports AUX trace pause and resume in a perf session for Arm CoreSight. First, we need to decide which flag can indicate the CoreSight PMU event has started. The 'event->hw.state' cannot be used for this purpose because its initial value and the value after hardware trace enabling are both 0. On the other hand, the context value 'ctxt->event_data' stores the ETM private info. This pointer is valid only when the PMU event has been enabled. It is safe to permit AUX trace pause and resume operations only when it is not a NULL pointer. To achieve fine-grained control of the pause and resume, only the tracer is disabled and enabled. This avoids the unnecessary complexity and latency caused by manipulating the entire link path.

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 reStructuredText 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.
