Re: [PATCH v2 2/5] perf cs-etm: Split up cs_etm__process_timestamped_queues()

> cs_etm__process_timestamped_queues() currently does three things: it seeds
> the auxtrace heap with one entry per queue, it decodes until the heap is
> empty, and it then walks every traceID queue to flush whatever is left in
> the branch stacks. That is fine while the only caller is
> cs_etm__flush_events(), which runs once, but it does not survive the
> function being called repeatedly.
> 
> Seeding cannot be repeated because a queue that still holds a heap slot
> would be seeded again, adding duplicate entries and growing the heap
> without bound. Flushing cannot be repeated either, because ending a block
> finalises state that later trace still needs.
> 
> Move both out. Seeding becomes cs_etm__update_queues(), gated on
> queues.new_data so it only runs when new AUX data has been queued, with
> etmq->on_heap tracking whether a queue currently occupies a heap slot;
> this mirrors intel_pt_update_queues() and intel_pt_queue::on_heap.
> Flushing becomes cs_etm__flush_timestamped_queues(). What remains is the
> decode loop on its own, which a later patch can then drive incrementally.
> 
> No functional change: the sole caller performs the same three steps in the
> same order.
