| |
In order to stop branch tracing for a running task, we need to first clear the branch tracing control bits before we may free the tracing buffer. If the traced task is running, the cpu might still trace that task after the branch trace control bits have cleared.
Wait until the traced task has been scheduled out before proceeding.
A similar problem affects the task debug store context. We first remove the context, then we need to wait until the task has been scheduled out before we can free the context memory.
