Subject[PATCH v6 00/20] coresight: Add support for ETE and TRBE
Date
This series enables future IP trace features Embedded Trace Extension
(ETE) and Trace Buffer Extension (TRBE). This series applies on
kvmarm/fixes tree. A standalone tree is also available here [0].
The queued patches (almost there) are included in this posting for
the sake of constructing a tree from the posting.

ETE is the PE (CPU) trace unit for CPUs, implementing future
architecture extensions. ETE overlaps with the ETMv4 architecture, with
additions to support the newer architecture features and some restrictions
on the supported features w.r.t ETMv4. The ETE support is added by extending
the ETMv4 driver to recognise the ETE and handle the features as exposed by
the TRCIDRx registers. ETE only supports system instructions access from the
host CPU. The ETE could be integrated with a TRBE (see below), or with
the legacy CoreSight trace bus (e.g, ETRs). Thus the ETE follows same
firmware description as the ETMs and requires a node per instance.

Trace Buffer Extensions (TRBE) implements a per CPU trace buffer, which
is accessible via the system registers and can be combined with the ETE to
provide a 1x1 configuration of source & sink. TRBE is being represented
here as a CoreSight sink. Primary reason is that the ETE source could
work with other traditional CoreSight sink devices. As TRBE captures the
trace data which is produced by ETE, it cannot work alone.

TRBE representation here have some distinct deviations from a
traditional CoreSight sink device. Coresight path between ETE and TRBE are
not built during boot looking at respective DT or ACPI entries.

Unlike traditional sinks, TRBE can generate interrupts to signal
including many other things, buffer got filled. The interrupt is a PPI and
should be communicated from the platform. DT or ACPI entry representing TRBE
should have the PPI number for a given platform. During perf session, the
TRBE IRQ handler should capture trace for perf auxiliary buffer before restarting
it back. System registers being used here to configure ETE and TRBE could
be referred in the link below.

[0] https://gitlab.arm.com/linux-arm/linux-skp/-/tree/coresight/ete/v6/

Changes since v6:
- Rebased to kvmarm/fixes tree (which has some patches queued that this
series depends on)
- Fixed a sparse warning in TRBE driver Reported-by: kernel test robot
<lkp@intel.com>
- Add explicit undef handler for TRFCR_EL1 (Marc Zyngier)
- Check for the SPE support early, kvm_arch_vcpu_load(), instead of
every single time in guest_enter() (Patch 06)

Changes since V4:

https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210225193543.2920532-1-suzuki.poulose@arm.com

- Split the documentation patches from the TRBE driver
- Drop the patches already queued for v5.12.
- Mark the buffer TRUNCATED in case of a WRAP event
- Fix error code for vmap failure
- Fix build break on arm32 for per-cpu sink patch
- Address comments on ETE dts bindings.
- Make ete_sysreg_read/write static (kernel test robot)
- Merged ete sysreg definition patch with ete support, to avoid
a "defined but unused warning" on build in part of the series.
- Add new bindings to MAINTAINERS

Changes since V3:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/1611737738-1493-1-git-send-email-anshuman.khandual@arm.com/

- ETE and TRBE changes have been captured in the respective patches
- Better support for nVHE
- Re-ordered and splitted the patches to keep the changes separate
for the generic/arm64 tree from CoreSight driver specific changes.
- Fixes for KVM handling of Trace/SPE


Changes since V2:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/1610511498-4058-1-git-send-email-anshuman.khandual@arm.com/

- Rebased on coresight/next
- Changed DT bindings for ETE
- Included additional patches for arm64 nvhe, perf aux buffer flags etc
- TRBE changes have been captured in the respective patches

Changes since V1:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/1608717823-18387-1-git-send-email-anshuman.khandual@arm.com/

- Converted both ETE and TRBE DT bindings into Yaml
- TRBE changes have been captured in the respective patches

Changes since RFC:


- There are not much ETE changes from Suzuki apart from splitting of the
ETE DTS patch
- TRBE changes have been captured in the respective patches
