OK for the documentation parts, with two nit:

> +@item set record btrace etm sink @var{sink}
> +Set ARM CoreSight ETM sink to collect traces.
> +On @sc{gnu}/Linux systems, possible values for @var{sink} are the name of the

"the names", in plural.

> +Bigger buffers mean longer traces.  On the other hand, @value{GDBN} will
> +also need longer to process the branch trace data before it can be used.
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"need longer time to process" is more clear, I think.

Thanks.
