Hi Greg and everybody,
Here's a patchset adding support for Intel Trace Hub (TH) [1] to the kernel.
Intel Trace Hub (TH) is a set of hardware blocks that produce, switch and output trace data from multiple hardware and software sources over several types of trace output ports encoded in System Trace Protocol (MIPI STPv2) and is intended to perform full system debugging.
The first part of this patchset introduces an abstraction for STM devices, or the devices that combine trace data from multiple trace sources into a STP trace stream. It provides a generic interface for software writers to send their trace data and also solves the problem of mapping STP master/channel asignments to trace sources between the system under tracing and the STP decoder on the debug host end. This part might also be interesting to the guys working on Coresight STM support as it uses a similar interface and has the same channel mapping problem.
The remainder of the patchset is Intel TH support. The core part is platform independant and is called into by glue layers such as the pci driver that follows. The core provides a bus, on which Intel TH subdevices are allocated. Each subdevice has its own driver. Subdevices are divided into 3 types: sources, outputs and a switch (there's usually just one). The latter is the central component in this scheme of things and is required for other drivers to load and function. Other drivers, however, are optional. Sources are producers of trace data. Outputs are means of exporting the resulting STP trace to the debug host via trace ports or system memory.
All configuration is done via sysfs and doesn't require any specific userspace beyond a shell.
Currently supported Intel TH subdevices are Software Trace Hub (STH, source), Memory Storage Unit (MSU, output), Parallel Tracing Interface unit (PTI, output), Global Trace Hub (GTH, switch). Support for other subdevices can be added later.
Also this patchset adds MAINTAINERS entries for stm class and Intel TH code.
