Using the sysfs doesn't guarantee that the ETR actually uses SG mode, unless
the buffer size selected is > 1M, which is why I am more interested in the
perf usage. Alternatively you may configure a larger buffer size (say, 8MB) via:

echo 0x800000 > /sys/bus/coresight/.../tmc_etr0/buffer_size

I haven't seen any test results there either.
