[PATCHv2,4/4] coresight: etm3x: Add support to exclude kernel mode tracing

Message ID 0b165b2608eed1a61240539f4b812bd80b6ad1bd.1614624041.git.saiprakash.ranjan@codeaurora.org

On production systems with ETMs enabled, it is preferred to exclude
kernel mode(NS EL1) tracing for security concerns and support only
userspace(NS EL0) tracing. Perf subsystem interface uses the newly
introduced kernel config CONFIG_EXCLUDE_KERNEL_PMU_TRACE to exclude
kernel mode tracing, but there is an additional interface
via sysfs for ETMs which also needs to be handled to exclude kernel
mode tracing. So we use this same generic kernel config to handle
the sysfs mode of tracing. This config is disabled by default and
would not affect the current configuration which has both kernel and
userspace tracing enabled by default.

Same nit as in patch #3 that the above string should be indented by 1
more space.

Will fix this up as well in v3.
