[PATCH v2 07/18] perf test cs-etm: Remove asm_pure_loop test

From: James Clark

Date: Tue Jun 02 2026 - 11:09:44 EST


It's not obvious what this test is for so remove it. It's not a stress
test because it doesn't output lots of data and it's not a functional
test because it only looks for raw trace output. It seems to imply that
a program written in assembly influences whether trace would be
generated by the CPU or not, but the CPU doesn't know what language the
program is written in.

We already have lots of Coresight tests that test the full pipeline
including decoding, and in many more modes of operation than this one,
so if no trace was collected they will already fail leaving this one
redundant.
