The latest ARM CoreSight specification updates the component identification
requirements for all components attached to an AMBA bus. (ARM IHI 0029E)
This specification defines bits 15:12 in the ComponentID (CID) value as the
device class. Identification requirements now depend on this class.
Class 0xF: Traditional components identified by Peripheral ID (PID) only.
Class 0x9: CoreSight components may be identified by a Universal Component
Identifier (UCI) consisting of the PID plus CoreSight DevType and DevArch
values.
Current and future ARM CoreSight IP will now use the same PID for
components on the same function - e.g. the ETM, CTI, PMU and Debug elements
associated with a core. The first core to use this UCI method is the A35,
which currently has binding entries in the ETMv4 driver.
This patchset prepares for the addition of the upcoming CTI driver, which
will need to correctly bind with A35 and future hardware, while overcoming
the limitation of binding by PID alone, which cannot now work.
The patchset updates the current AMBA Identification mechanism, which was
already differentiating between 0xF and 0x9 CIDs, to add
additional UCI compliant tests for the for the 0x9 device class.
Additional UCI structures are provided and added to the ETMv4 driver as
appropriate.
Russell: Do you want me to add these 2 patches to your patch tracking system?
Thanks
Mike
Changes since v2:
Simplification of amba_cs_uci_id_match().

2.19.1
perf cs-etm module converts decoder elements to packets and then we have
more context crossing packets to generate synthenize samples, finally
perf tool can faciliate samples for statistics and report the results.
This patch series is to address several issues found related with
packets handling and samples generation when worked firstly on branch
sample flags support for Arm CoreSight trace data, so this patch series
is dependency for sample flags setting, will send another dedicated
patch series for sample flags later.
In this patch series, the first two patches are mainly to fix issues in
cs_etm__flush(): patch 0001 corrects packets swapping in cs_etm__flush()
and this can fix the wrong branch sample caused by the missed packets
swapping; patch 0002 is to fix the wrong samples generation with stale
packets at the end of trace block.
Patch 0003 and 0004 are for minor fixing; patch 0003 removes unused field
'cs_etm_decoder::trace_on', this can simplize the switch-case code for all
discontinuity packet generation by using one code block; patch 0004 is to
refactor enumeration cs_etm_sample_type.
Patch 0005 is to rename CS_ETM_TRACE_ON to CS_ETM_DISCONTINUITY, we use
a more general packet type to present trace discontinuity, so it can be
used by TRACE_ON event, and also can be used by NO_SYNC and EO_TRACE
elements.
Patch 0006 is used to support NO_SYNC packet, otherwise the trace
decoding cannot reflect the tracing discontinuity caused by NO_SYNC
packet.
Patch 0007 is used to support EO_TRACE packet, which also introduces
the tracing discontinuity at the end of trace and we should save last
trace data for it.
Patch 0008 is used to generate branch sample for exception packets.
Credit to Mike Leach and Robert Walker who made me clear for underlying
mechanism for NO_SYNC/EO_TRACE elements, Mike also shared the detailed
explanation for why we can treat NO_SYNC and TRACE_ON elements as the
same, so except following Mike & Rob suggestion for trace discontinuity
consolidation, most commit log of patches 0006/0007 also come from
Mike's explanation.
This patch series is applied directly on the acme's perf/core branch [1]
with latest commit aaab25f03e9e ("perf trace: Allow selecting use the
use of the ordered_events code").
With applying the dependency patch, this patch series has been tested
for branch samples dumping with below command on Juno board:
# perf script -F,-time,+ip,+sym,+dso,+addr,+symoff -k vmlinux
Changes from v2:
* Addressed Mathieu's comments and suggestions for minor refactoring
for removing unused field 'cs_etm_decoder::trace_on' and added one
dedicated patch to refactor enumeration cs_etm_sample_type.
* Added Mathieu's 'reviewed' tags; Very appreciate Mathieu's many
suggestion for crossing several patch series.
Changes from v1:
* Synced the consistent code in patch 0001 for condition checking.
* Introduced new function cs_etm__end_block() for flushing packet
at the end of trace block.
* Added new patch 0003 to rename CS_ETM_TRACE_ON to
CS_ETM_DISCONTINUITY.
* Used the same one packet type CS_ETM_DISCONTINUITY for all
trace discontinuity (include support TRACE_ON/EO_TRACE/NO_SYNC
packets).
* Removed tracking exception number patch, which will be added in
sample flag patch series.

2.7.4
From: Leo Yan <leo.yan(a)linaro.org>
The exception packet appears as one element with 'elem_type' ==
OCSD_GEN_TRC_ELEM_EXCEPTION or OCSD_GEN_TRC_ELEM_EXCEPTION_RET, which is
present for exception entry and exit respectively. The decoder sets the
packet fields 'packet->exc' and 'packet->exc_ret' to indicate the
exception packets; but exception packets don't have a dedicated sample
type and shares the same sample type CS_ETM_RANGE with normal
instruction packets.
As a result, the exception packets are taken as normal instruction
packets and this introduces confusion in mixing different packet types.
Furthermore, these instruction range packets will be processed for
branch samples only when 'packet->last_instr_taken_branch' is true,
otherwise they will be omitted, this can introduce a mess for exception
and exception returning due to not having the complete address range
info for context switching.
To process exception packets properly, this patch introduces two new
sample types: CS_ETM_EXCEPTION and CS_ETM_EXCEPTION_RET; these two types
of packets will be handled by cs_etm__exception(). The function
cs_etm__exception() forces setting the previous CS_ETM_RANGE packet flag
'prev_packet->last_instr_taken_branch' to true, this matches well with
the program flow when the exception is trapped from user space to kernel
space, no matter if the most recent flow has branch taken or not; this
is also safe for returning to user space after exception handling.
After exception packets have their own sample type, the packet fields
'packet->exc' and 'packet->exc_ret' aren't needed anymore, so remove
them.

From: Leo Yan <leo.yan(a)linaro.org>
If the decoder outputs an EO_TRACE element, it means the end of the
trace buffer; this is a discontinuity and in this case the end of trace
data needs to be saved.
This patch generates a CS_ETM_DISCONTINUITY packet for the EO_TRACE
element hereby flushing the end of trace data in cs-etm.c.

2.19.2
From: Leo Yan <leo.yan(a)linaro.org>
The CoreSight tracer driver might insert barrier packets between
different buffers, thus the decoder can spot the boundaries based on the
barrier packet; it is possible for the decoder to hit a barrier packet
and emit a NO_SYNC element, then the decoder will find a periodic
synchronisation point inside that next trace block that starts the trace
again but does not have the TRACE_ON element as indicator - usually
because this trace block has wrapped the buffer so we have lost the
original point when the trace was enabled.
In the first case it causes the insertion of a OCSD_GEN_TRC_ELEM_NO_SYNC
in the middle of the tracing stream, but as we were not handling the
NO_SYNC element properly this ends up making users miss the
discontinuity indications.
Though OCSD_GEN_TRC_ELEM_NO_SYNC is different from CS_ETM_TRACE_ON when
output from the decoder, both indicate that the trace data is
discontinuous; this patch treats OCSD_GEN_TRC_ELEM_NO_SYNC as a trace
discontinuity and generates a CS_ETM_DISCONTINUITY packet for it, so
cs-etm can handle the discontinuity for this case, finally it saves the
last trace data for the previous trace block and restart samples for the
new block.

From: Leo Yan <leo.yan(a)linaro.org>
TRACE_ON element is used at the beginning of trace, it also can be
appeared in the middle of trace data to indicate discontinuity; for
example, it's possible to see multiple TRACE_ON elements in the trace
stream if the trace is being limited by address range filtering.
Furthermore, except TRACE_ON element is for discontinuity, NO_SYNC and
EO_TRACE also can be used to indicate discontinuity, though they are
used for different scenarios for which the trace is interrupted.
This patch renames sample type CS_ETM_TRACE_ON to CS_ETM_DISCONTINUITY,
firstly the new name describes more closely the purpose of the packet;
secondly this is a preparation for other output elements which also
cause the trace discontinuity thus they can share the same one packet
type.

cs_etm_decoder::trace_on is being assigned when TRACE_ON or NO_SYNC
element is coming, but it is never used hence it is redundant and can
be removed.
So let's remove 'trace_on' field from cs_etm_decoder struct.

2.19.2
From: Leo Yan <leo.yan(a)linaro.org>
At the end of trace buffer handling, function cs_etm__flush() is invoked
to flush any remaining branch stack entries. As a side effect, it also
generates branch sample, because the 'etmq->packet' doesn't contains any
new coming packet but point to one stale packet after packets swapping,
so it wrongly makes synthesize branch samples with stale packet info.
We could review below detailed flow which causes issue:
Packet1: start_addr=0xffff000008b1fbf0 end_addr=0xffff000008b1fbfc
Packet2: start_addr=0xffff000008b1fb5c end_addr=0xffff000008b1fb6c
step 1: cs_etm__sample():
sample: ip=(0xffff000008b1fbfc-4) addr=0xffff000008b1fb5c
step 2: flush packet in cs_etm__run_decoder():
cs_etm__run_decoder()
`-> err = cs_etm__flush(etmq, false);
sample: ip=(0xffff000008b1fb6c-4) addr=0xffff000008b1fbf0
Packet1 and packet2 are two continuous packets, when packet2 is the new
coming packet, cs_etm__sample() generates branch sample for these two
packets and use [packet1::end_addr - 4 => packet2::start_addr] as branch
jump flow, thus we can see the first generated branch sample in step 1.
At the end of cs_etm__sample() it swaps packets so 'etm->prev_packet'=
packet2 and 'etm->packet'=packet1, so far it's okay for branch sample.
If packet2 is the last one packet in trace buffer, even there have no
any new coming packet, cs_etm__run_decoder() invokes cs_etm__flush() to
flush branch stack entries as expected, but it also generates branch
samples by taking 'etm->packet' as a new coming packet, thus the branch
jump flow is as [packet2::end_addr - 4 => packet1::start_addr]; this
is the second sample which is generated in step 2. So actually the
second sample is a stale sample and we should not generate it.
This patch introduces a new function cs_etm__end_block(), at the end of
trace block this function is invoked to only flush branch stack entries
and thus can avoid to generate branch sample for stale packet.
