I am looking to understand the various usages of trace buffer.
I know the usage of loop buffer - where jump target of the loop is stored. Whenever a loop jump is encountered, the address of the loop buffer is referred and prefetched.
My basic information about trace buffer says loop buffer can be implemented inside a trace buffer. In other words, trace buffer is a more generalised term.
Plz help.
