[PATCH 0/2] coresight: ultrasoc: Add support for System Memory Buffer device

by Qi Liu

This patchset add support for SMB(System Memory Buffer) device, SMB obtains CPU instructions from Coresight ETM device and stores these messages in system memory. SMB is developed by Ultrasoc technology, which is acquired by Siemens, and we still use "Ultrasoc" to name document and driver. Change since RFC: - Move ultrasoc driver to drivers/hwtracing/coresight. - Remove ultrasoc-axi-com.c, as AXI-COM doesn't need to be configured in basic tracing function. - Remove ultrasoc.c as SMB does not need to register with the ultrasoc core. - Address the comments from Mathieu and Suzuki. - Link: https://lists.linaro.org/pipermail/coresight/2021-June/006535.html Qi Liu (2): Documentation: tracing: Documentation for ultrasoc SMB drivers coresight: ultrasoc: Add System Memory Buffer driver .../trace/coresight/ultrasoc-trace.rst | 193 +++++ MAINTAINERS | 7 + drivers/hwtracing/coresight/Kconfig | 3 + drivers/hwtracing/coresight/Makefile | 2 + drivers/hwtracing/coresight/ultrasoc/Kconfig | 12 + drivers/hwtracing/coresight/ultrasoc/Makefile | 6 + .../coresight/ultrasoc/ultrasoc-smb.c | 722 ++++++++++++++++++ .../coresight/ultrasoc/ultrasoc-smb.h | 142 ++++ 8 files changed, 1087 insertions(+) create mode 100644 Documentation/trace/coresight/ultrasoc-trace.rst create mode 100644 drivers/hwtracing/coresight/ultrasoc/Kconfig create mode 100644 drivers/hwtracing/coresight/ultrasoc/Makefile create mode 100644 drivers/hwtracing/coresight/ultrasoc/ultrasoc-smb.c create mode 100644 drivers/hwtracing/coresight/ultrasoc/ultrasoc-smb.h -- 2.17.1

[PATCH 00/10] arm64: Self-hosted trace related erratum workarouds

by Suzuki K Poulose

This series adds CPU erratum work arounds related to the self-hosted tracing. The list of affected errata handled in this series are : * TRBE may overwrite trace in FILL mode - Arm Neoverse-N2 #2139208 - Cortex-A710 #2119858 * A TSB instruction may not flush the trace completely when executed in trace prohibited region. - Arm Neoverse-N2 #2067961 - Cortex-A710 #2054223 The series applies on the self-hosted/trbe fixes posted here [0]. A tree containing both the series is available here [1].

[RFC PATCH 0/6] perf tools: Warning fixes

by James Clark

I'm submitting this as an RFC because there are a few changes I'd like to get feedback on. The two changes I wanted to make were the last two for Coresight warnings, but I ended up making some perf-wide changes along the way. For #1 (perf tools: Add WARN_ONCE equivalent for UI warnings) * Does it make sense to add warn once equivalents at all, or should the once be re-done for each usage? * Or should there be some kind of generic 'once' wrapper? For #3 (perf tools: Add disassembly warnings for annotate --stdio) * If the output is interpreted by any other tools, then adding these warnings could be an issue, so maybe this change could be dropped, but no error output at all isn't ideal. For #4 (perf tools: Add flag for tracking warnings of missing DSOs) * In theory I could re-use 'annotate_warned', but it might make sense to rename it in that case, or just leave the new auxtrace_warned and remove any confusion. This set applies to perf/core e73f0f0ee7541 Thanks James James Clark (6): perf tools: Add WARN_ONCE equivalent for UI warnings perf tools: Re-add annotate_warned functionality perf tools: Add disassembly warnings for annotate --stdio perf tools: Add flag for tracking warnings of missing DSOs perf cs-etm: Improve Coresight zero timestamp warning perf cs-etm: Add warnings for missing DSOs tools/perf/ui/browsers/annotate.c | 1 + tools/perf/ui/gtk/annotate.c | 1 + tools/perf/util/annotate.c | 20 +++++++++++++++++-- .../perf/util/cs-etm-decoder/cs-etm-decoder.c | 7 +++++-- tools/perf/util/cs-etm.c | 10 +++++++++- tools/perf/util/debug.h | 14 +++++++++++++ tools/perf/util/dso.h | 1 + 7 files changed, 49 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) -- 2.28.0

[PATCH 0/6] Support ETE decoding

by James Clark

Decoding ETE already works because it is a superset of ETMv4, but if any new packet types are found then they will be ignored by the decoder. This patchset creates an ETE decoder which can output the new packets and saves a new register that is required. No new packet types are handled by perf yet, as this can be added in the future. This set applies on top of "perf cs-etm: Support TRBE (unformatted decoding)" on perf/core.

The order doesn't matter much as they are part numbers for different CPUs, without any dependencies between them. But for the sake of keeping the order, I could fix this. Thanks Suzuki

If the TRBE gets a spurious IRQ, that we cannot decode, I would rather leave it as NOP. Suzuki
