Maybe some rules > have changed for dt-binding requirement. My conclusion is that if a device is an Arm Primecell peripheral, it should use the clock name "apb_pclk" (See the DT binding doc [1]). CTCU is not an Arm Primecell peripheral, so it does not need to strictly follow up the clock naming for Primecell peripheral. In Arm CoreSight framework, for code consistency, I would suggest using the clock naming "apb_pclk" for the APB clock for a newly added device that even it is not a Primecell peripheral. (We don't need to make any change to the CTCU driver, as we need to remain compatible with existed DTB blobs). Cc'ing Rob in case he has any suggestions. Thanks, Leo [1] Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/primecell.yaml

[PATCH v3 0/6] Arm CoreSight: Support AUX pause and resume

by Leo Yan

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 patches 05 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 and TC platform. The previous one uses ETR and the later uses TRBE as sink. 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 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).

[PATCH v1 0/9] coresight: Fix and improve clock usage

by Leo Yan

This series fixes and improves clock usage in the Arm CoreSight drivers. Based on the DT binding documents, the trace clock (atclk) is defined in some CoreSight modules, but the corresponding drivers to support it are absent. In most cases, the issue is hidden because atclk is shared by multiple CoreSight modules and is enabled anyway by other drivers. The first three patches address this issue. The programming clock (pclk) management in CoreSight drivers does not use the devm_XXX() variant APIs, so the drivers needs to manually disable and release clocks for errors and for normal module exit. However, the drivers miss to disable clocks during module exit. Another issue is pclk might be enabled twice in init phase - once by AMBA bus driver, and again by CoreSight drivers. Patches 04 and 05 fix pclk issues. The atclk may also not be disabled in CoreSight drivers during module exit. This is fixed in patch 06. Patches 07 to 09 refactor the clock related code. Patch 07 makes the clock enabling sequence consistent. Patch 08 removes redundant condition checks and adds error handling in runtime PM. Patch 09 consolidats the clock initialization into a central place. This series is verified on Arm64 Hikey960 platform.

Also you might as well use the new guard() thing to save someone find-and-replacing it later. But I'm wondering if this is accurate. The ETR's refcount is dependent on the pid of the owner of the trace session: /* Do not proceed if this device is associated with another session */ if (drvdata->pid != -1 && drvdata->pid != pid) { rc = -EBUSY; goto unlock_out; } /* * No HW configuration is needed if the sink is already in * use for this session. */ if (drvdata->pid == pid) { csdev->refcnt++; goto unlock_out; } If the helpers get enabled first, could this mean that CATU gets associated with a different session than the ETR? Maybe not, but it would be easier to understand if the core code handled the refcounting and locking for linked devices.
