There are several problems here. What is created/allocated during
setup_aux(), has to be undone in free_aux(), however, the effect of
build_path() will only be undone in the event::destroy() path. So if the
user unmaps the aux buffer and then maps it again, we'll go ahead and
try to build the path again. (Btw, coresight_build_paths() and other
non-static functions and especially exported ones are really lacking
documentation at the moment).
It really looks like this has to be done in pmu::add(), so that the
source<=>sink connection exists only while the event is scheduled and
otherwise other events are free to connect their sources to these
sinks. And at pmu::del() the connection has to be torn down. This way we
can have a sensible multisession support. That is, provided my
understanding of the coresight driver architecture is correct.
Also, you won't have to configure things on multiple cpus for cpu==-1 if
you keep the source<=>sink connection only between pmu::add() and
pmu::del(), as an event can only be scheduled on one cpu at a time,
which should make things simpler.

Now this is a sensible thing to do. I understand that you'll have to
know which sink you're using so that you can pick the right sink_ops and
build an appropriate configuration, but perhaps it also makes sense to
release it once you got the sink_config.

This really shouldn't happen. It makes sense to make sure that we have
all the callbacks that we rely on in pmu::event_init() or pmu::add() and
refuse to start if we don't, but at this point we really shouldn't end
up in a situation where we suddenly don't have one of the callbacks.

This has a similar problem. I'd say that this callback should not be
able to fail and return anything other than success.

Same here.

This may fail, I suppose.

This also shouldn't be able to prevent us from stopping the event.

So if you're able to fetch the sink right here and release it in
_del(). Of course, this being a hot path and an atomic context needs to
be taken into account.
