[PATCH v4 0/7] Arm CoreSight: Support AUX pause and resume
Posted by Leo Yan 10 months, 1 week ago
This series is to enable AUX pause and resume on Arm CoreSight.

The first patch extracts the trace unit controlling operations to two
functions.  These two functions will be used by AUX pause and resume.

Patches 02 and 03 change the ETMv4 driver to prepare callback functions
for AUX pause and resume.

Patch 04 changes the ETM perf layer to support AUX pause and resume in a
perf session.  The patch 05 re-enables sinks after buffer update, based
on it, the patch 06 updates buffer on AUX pause occasion, which can
mitigate the trace data lose issue.

Patch 07 documents the AUX pause usages with Arm CoreSight.

This patch set has been verified on the Hikey960 board.

It is suggested to disable CPUIdle (add `nohlt` option in Linux command
line) when verifying this series.  ETM and funnel drivers are found
issues during CPU suspend and resume which will be addressed separately.

Changes from v3:
- Re-enabled sink in buffer update callbacks (Suzuki).

Changes from v2:
- Rebased on CoreSight next branch.
- Dropped the uAPI 'update_buf_on_pause' and updated document
  respectively (Suzuki).
- Renamed ETM callbacks to .pause_perf() and .resume_perf() (Suzuki).
- Minor improvement for error handling in the AUX resume flow.

Changes from v1:
- Added validation function pointers in pause and resume APIs (Mike).

The series looks good to me, except for the comment on the Patch 1.

I would like to get an Ack from James as he has looked at in the past.
