[RFC PATCH v4 00/15] CoreSight CTI driver

by Mike Leach

CTIs are defined in the device tree and associated with other CoreSight devices. The core CoreSight code has been modified to enable the registration of the CTI devices on the same bus as the other CoreSight components, but as these are not actually trace generation / capture devices, they are not part of the Coresight path when generating trace. However, the definition of the standard CoreSight device has been extended to include a reference to an associated CTI device, and the enable / disable trace path operations will auto enable/disable any associated CTI devices at the same time. Programming is at present via sysfs - a full API is provided to utilise the hardware capabilities. As CTI devices are unprogrammed by default, the auto enable describe above will have no effect until explicit programming takes place. A set of device tree bindings specific to the CTI topology has been defined. The driver accesses these in a platform agnostic manner, so ACPI bindings can be added later, once they have been agreed and defined for the CTI device. Documentation has been updated to describe both the CTI hardware, its use and programming in sysfs, and the new dts bindings required. Tested on DB410 board, applies on coresight/next tree - 5.3-rc1 based. Changes since v3: * After discussion on CS mailing list, each CTI connection has a triggers<N> sysfs directory with name and trigger signals listed for the connection. * Initial code for creating sysfs links between CoreSight components is introduced and implementation for CTI provided. This allows exploration of the CoreSight topology within the sysfs infrastructure. Patches for links between other CoreSight components to follow. * Power management - CPU hotplug and idle omitted from this set as ongoing developments may define required direction. Additional patch set to follow. * Multiple fixes applied as requested by reviewers esp. Matthieu, Suzuki and Leo. Changes since v2: Updates to allow for new features on coresight/next and feedback from Mathieu and Leo. 1) Rebase and restructuring to apply on top of ACPI support patch set, currently on coresight/next. of_coresight_cti has been renamed to coresight-cti-platform and device tree bindings added to this but accessed in a platform agnostic manner using fwnode for later ACPI support to be added. 2) Split the sysfs patch info a series of functional patches. 3) Revised the refcount and enabling support. 4) Adopted the generic naming protocol - CTIs are either cti_cpuN or cti_sysM 5) Various minor presentation /checkpatch issues highlighted in feedback. 6) revised CPU hotplug to cover missing cases needed by ETM. Changes since v1: 1) Significant restructuring of the source code. Adds cti-sysfs file and cti device tree file. Patches add per feature rather than per source file. 2) CPU type power event handling for hotplug moved to CoreSight core, with generic registration interface provided for all CPU bound CS devices to use. 3) CTI signal interconnection details in sysfs now generated dynamically from connection lists in driver. This to fix issue with multi-line sysfs output in previous version. 4) Full device tree bindings for DB410 and Juno provided (to the extent that CTI information is available). 5) AMBA driver update for UCI IDs are now upstream so no longer included in this set.

[PATCH] perf cs-etm: Fix definition of macro TO_CS_QUEUE_NR

by Leo Yan

Macro TO_CS_QUEUE_NR definition has a typo, which uses 'trace_id_chan' as its parameter, this doesn't match with its definition body which uses 'trace_chan_id'. So renames the parameter to 'trace_chan_id'. It's luck to have a local variable 'trace_chan_id' in the function cs_etm__setup_queue(), even we wrongly define the macro TO_CS_QUEUE_NR, the local variable 'trace_chan_id' is used rather than the macro's parameter 'trace_id_chan'; so the compiler doesn't complain for this before. After renaming the parameter, it leads to a compiling error due cs_etm__setup_queue() has no variable 'trace_id_chan'. This patch uses the variable 'trace_chan_id' for the macro so that fixes the compiling error.

Re: Coresight: ocsdError error

by Mike Leach

Hi, >From the little information in this mail, this looks like an issue with how the version of perf you have is interacting with the OpenCSD library. An ocsdError will usually be generated if the library detects input errors in configuration or data being passed to it. ocsdErrors in general should provide a code + string - though output could be being suppressed by perf. I would follow Leo's suggestion to see if you can spot the library call from the backtrace that causes the issue.

[PATCH v2 0/4] perf cs-etm: Fix synthesizing instruction samples

by Leo Yan

This patch series is to address the issue for synthesizing instruction samples, especially when the instruction sample period is small enough, the current logic cannot synthesize multiple instruction samples within one instruction range packet. To fix this issue, patch 0001 avoids to reset the last branches for every instruction sample; if reset the last branches when every time generate instruction sample, then the later samples in the same range packet cannot use the last branches anymore. Patch 0002 is the main patch to fix the logic for synthesizing instruction samples; it allows to handle different instruction periods. Patch 0003 is an optimization for copying last branches; it only copies last branches once if the instruction samples share the same last branches. Patch 0004 is a minor fix for unsigned variable comparison to zero. To verify my changing for synthesizing instruction samples, I added some logs in the code, and reviewed the output log manually for instuctions samples.

[PATCH v1 0/4] perf cs-etm: Fix synthesizing instruction samples

by Leo Yan

This patch series is to address the issue for synthesizing instruction samples, especially when the instruction sample period is small enough, the current logic cannot synthesize multiple instruction samples within one instruction range packet. To fix this issue, patch 0001 avoids to reset the last branches for every instruction sample; if reset the last branches when every time generate instruction sample, then the later samples in the same range packet cannot use the last branches anymore. Patch 0002 is the main patch to fix the logic for synthesizing instruction samples; it allows to handle different instruction periods. Patch 0003 is an optimization for copying last branches; it only copies last branches once if the instruction samples share the same last branches. Patch 0004 is a minor fix for unsigned variable comparison to zero. To verify my changing for synthesizing instruction samples, I added some logs in the code, and reviewed the output log manually for instuctions samples. The below commands are tested on DB410c board: # perf script --itrace=i2 # perf script --itrace=i2li16 # perf inject --itrace=i2il16 -i perf.data -o perf.data.new # perf inject --itrace=i100il16 -i perf.data -o perf.data.new Leo Yan (4): perf cs-etm: Continuously record last branches perf cs-etm: Correct synthesizing instruction samples perf cs-etm: Optimize copying last branches perf cs-etm: Fix unsigned variable comparison to zero tools/perf/util/cs-etm.c | 137 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------- 1 file changed, 115 insertions(+), 22 deletions(-) -- 2.17.1

[PATCH v2 00/11] coresight: etm4x: Fixes and updates for sysfs API

by Mike Leach

Review of ETMV4 sysfs code resulted in a number of minor issues being discovered. Patch set fixes these issues:- 1) Update for ETM v4.4 archtecture. 2) Add missing single shot comparator API. 3) Misc fixes and improvements to sysfs API 4) Updated programmers documentation and reference. Changes since v1 (from reviews by Mathieu and Leo):- Usability patch split into 2 separate functional patches. Docs patch split into 3 patches. Misc style and comment typo fixes.
