Hello Mathieu,
Thank for the config file. It works. I was able to build the OpenCSD kernel (form the perf-opencsd-master branch) and install on the USB (I used the ArchLinuxARM-aarch64-latest.tar.gz). I also built the perf tool (make -C tools/perf). Everything is booting but the perf has some issues:
[root@alarm home]# ./perf record -vvv -e cs_etm/(a)20070000.etr/u --per-thread uname
map_groups__set_modules_path_dir: cannot open /lib/modules/4.13.0-rc1-ge565ad6 dir
Problems setting modules path maps, continuing anyway...

I fixed the "map_groups__set_modules_path_dir: cannot open /lib/modules/4.13.0-rc1-ge565ad6 dir" issue by adding appropriate symbolic link but I still have an issue with the mmap. Any idea what can be wrong here (below limits that I have on my Juno)?

Now I'm trying to have a perf using Coresight but I'm little confused. Do I need to build Android from Linaro and the kernel from here https://git.linaro.org/people/mathieu.poirier/coresight.git/ or here https://github.com/Linaro/OpenCSD/tree/perf-opencsd-4.12.

This patch set is to explore Coresight trace data for postmortem
debugging. When kernel panic happens, the Coresight panic kdump can
help save on-chip trace data and tracer metadata into DRAM, later
relies on kdump and crash/perf for "offline" analysis.
The documentation is important to understand the purpose of Coresight
panic kdump, the implementation and usage. Patches 0001/0002 are used
to relocate and add related documenation.
Patch 0003 introduces the simple panic kdump framework which can be
easily used by Coresight devices.
Patches 0004/0005 support panic kdump for ETB; Patch 0006 supports
the dump for ETMv4. As Mathieu suggested, patch 0006 distinguish two
different tracer enabling mode: sysFS interface and perf mode.
This patch set have been verified on 96boards Hikey with tracer
enabling by sysFS interface.
Changes from v2:
* Add the two patches for documentation.
* Following Mathieu suggestion, reworked the panic kdump framework,
removed the useless flag "PRE_PANIC".
* According to comment, changed to add and delete kdump node operations
in sink enable/disable functions;
* According to Mathieu suggestion, handle kdump node
addition/deletion/updating separately for sysFS interface and perf
method.
Changes from v1:
* Add support to dump ETMv4 meta data.
* Wrote 'crash' extension csdump.so so rely on it to generate 'perf'
format compatible file.
* Refactored panic dump driver to support pre & post panic dump.
Changes from RFC:
* Follow Mathieu's suggestion, use general framework to support dump
functionality.
* Changed to use perf to analyse trace data.

Good day Mike,
Please find the changes to the HOWTO.md that support integration of the openCSD
library as a system library. I didn't know in what kind of state your tree is
so I added a patch that only update the library name - use it or not as you see
fit.
Thanks,
Mathieu

Hi,
This patchset adds support for user space decoding of CoreSight traces [1]
of the ARM architecture. Kernel support for configuring CoreSight tracers
and collect the hardware trace data in the auxtrace section of the
perf.data file is already integrated [2]. The user space implementation
mirrors to a large degree that of the Intel Processor Trace (PT) [3]
implementation, except that the decoder library itself is separate from the
perf tool sources, and is built and maintained as a separate open source
project [4]. Instead, this patch set includes the necessary code and build
settings to interfaces to the decoder library. This approach was chosen as
the decoder library has uses outside the perf toolset and on non-linux
platforms.
The decoder library interface code in this patch set only supports ETMv4
trace decoding, though the library itself supports a broader range. Future
patches will add support for more versions of the ARM ETM trace encoding.
The trace decoder library used with this patch set is the most recent
version with tag v0.7.3
This patch set, instead of being based on commits in my private branch, has
been applied to a new copy of the perf-opencsd-master branch of [4] and
pushed to [5] with the same perf-opencsd-master branch name.
Changes since last revision:
Given this is the second time it is sent out to the new audience on
coresight(a)lists.linaro.org, I am resetting the version number to 2 to avoid
confusion with previous mailings with a more restricted audience.
Two additional commits have been added to the patches in this patch set to
be fully compatible with the most recent version of the decoder library. The
previous patch set assumed an older version.
