This will allow sessions with more than CORESIGHT_TRACE_IDS_MAX ETMs as long as there are fewer than that many ETMs connected to each sink. Each sink owns its own trace ID map, and any Perf session connecting to that sink will allocate from it, even if the sink is currently in use by other users. This is similar to the existing behavior where the dynamic trace IDs are constant as long as there is any concurrent Perf session active. It's not completely optimal because slightly more IDs will be used than necessary, but the optimal solution involves tracking the PIDs of each session and allocating ID maps based on the session owner. This is difficult to do with the combination of per-thread and per-cpu modes and some scheduling issues. The complexity of this isn't likely to worth it because even with multiple users they'd just see a difference in the ordering of ID allocations rather than hitting any limits (unless the hardware does have too many ETMs connected to one sink).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
