The CoreSight tracer driver might insert barrier packets between different buffers, thus the decoder can spot the boundaries based on the barrier packet; it is possible for the decoder to hit a barrier packet and emit a NO_SYNC element, then the decoder will find a periodic synchronisation point inside that next trace block that starts the trace again but does not have the TRACE_ON element as indicator - usually because this trace block has wrapped the buffer so we have lost the original point when the trace was enabled. In the first case it causes the insertion of a OCSD_GEN_TRC_ELEM_NO_SYNC in the middle of the tracing stream, but as we were not handling the NO_SYNC element properly this ends up making users miss the discontinuity indications. Though OCSD_GEN_TRC_ELEM_NO_SYNC is different from CS_ETM_TRACE_ON when output from the decoder, both indicate that the trace data is discontinuous; this patch treats OCSD_GEN_TRC_ELEM_NO_SYNC as a trace discontinuity and generates a CS_ETM_DISCONTINUITY packet for it, so cs-etm can handle the discontinuity for this case, finally it saves the last trace data for the previous trace block and restart samples for the new block.
