This series addresses CPU power management issues in the CoreSight
drivers. For easier review, the patches are organized into two
categories:
o Patches 01 ~ 10 focus on CPU power management within the ETM drivers.
These patches fix SMP-safe access to the mode, correct context
synchronization, and refactor the CPU suspend/resume flows.
o Patches 11 ~ 28 extend CPU power management to cover activated paths,
including helpers, links, and sinks. These changes move CPU PM and
hotplug notifiers from the ETMv4 driver into the CoreSight core layer.
Summary of Changes:
- Patches 01 ~ 03: Fix device mode access in the SMP mode.
- Patch 04 : A minor fix for polling bit.
- Patches 05 ~ 07: Improve the context synchronization based on the ETM
specification (IHI0064H.b) and Arm ARM (ARM DDI 0487
L.a).
- Patches 08 ~ 10: Refactor the context save/restore flow in the ETMv4
driver, in the end, the CPU PM callbacks reuse the
normal enabling and disabling flows.
- Patches 11 ~ 17: Move CPU PM code from ETMv4 driver to the core layer.
- Patches 18 ~ 25: Enhance device mode handling in the CTI driver,
distinguishes debug mode from trace modes (Perf or
SysFS mode). Extend support activated paths during
CPU idle. Support save and restore context for
per-CPU sink (TRBE).
- Patches 26 ~ 28: Move CPU hotplug notifier from the ETMv4 driver to
the core layer. The full path is now managed in CPU
hotplug.
Verification:
This series has been verified on the following platforms:
- Hikey960, Juno-r0 and Juno-r2:
Note that the firmware on Hikey960 and Juno-r0 is unstable. While no
CoreSight failures were observed, but the CPU hotplug or CPU idle
itself may fail intermittently.
Juno-r2 is much stable and can pass 24+ hours stress test.
- FVP RevC: Verified TRBE changes.
Stress test script:
#!/usr/bin/bash
echo 1 > /sys/bus/coresight/devices/tmc_etr0/enable_sink
while true; do
echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu2/online;
echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu2/online;
done &
while true; do
echo 1 > /sys/bus/coresight/devices/etm2/enable_source;
echo 0 > /sys/bus/coresight/devices/etm2/enable_source;
done &

Changes in v2:
- Refactored ETMv4 suspend and resume for reusing the normal enabling
and disabling flows (James).
- Used a per-CPU structure to maintain path pointers (James).
- Supported helpers in CPU PM flows (James).
- Fixed the SMP-safe access to device mode.
- Fixed the context synchronization in ETMv4x driver.
