Subject: [PATCH 07/15] ARM: etm: Return the entire trace buffer if it is empty after reset

From: Arve Hjønnevåg <arve@...roid.com>

On some SOCs the read and write pointer are reset when the chip
resets, but the trace buffer content is preserved. If the status
bits indicates that the buffer is empty and we have never started
tracing, assume the buffer is full instead. This can be useful
if the system rebooted from a watchdog reset.
