Hi Mathieu,
Thanks, I don't find CS devices list in the dts file.
Hi Suzuki, Could you give me any help? How to add them in dts file, is there any example?
I download the code by the instruction of https://community.arm.com/docs/DOC-10804 , build with" ./build-scripts/build-all.sh juno-busybox"
Thanks

If you don't see CS devices under /sys/bus/coresight/devices/ it means that either there is not CS devices listed in the DT or something is wrong with the clock and the blocks aren't discovered during the AMBA probe.
Suzuki Poulose can likely help you on that front.

What are you looking to do? There is definitely something wrong but
it is impossible for me to help you with the information you have
provided. The _probe() functions are fairly simple - I suggest using
those as a starting example. From there it should be easy to work
your way back to your current situation.

Any particular reason why you want to trace on CPU 0 only? Using the

any CPU the scheduler choose to put it on.

The cool thing about Perf is that when a process is scheduled for execution
it tells the PMU to start tracing. The same thing happens when the process
is taken off a CPU either because it has terminated, it is waiting on some
IO to finish or it is preempted. In (1) the process has been scheduled on
a CPU and was running until it was scheduled out (for some reason). In (2)
the process is ready to run again and as such CS is enabled again.
You don't want to know what is happening between (1) and (2) as it is not
relevant for that trace session.

There is no need to study the perf code - it is very complex. (2) gets
started when the process is scheduled on a CPU again.

That is bizarre, especially since you are using the the ETR driver. From
what I can tell memory is being freed while a spinlock is held. Did you
happen to change the code at all?
Kernel version 4.8 will be released on Sunday - I am currently writing the
documentation (HOWTO.md) that goes with it. I suggest to move to that
version since a lot of code has gone in. Make sure to read the
documentation, some of user space has changed. That should all be ready by
next Friday (September 30th).

There is a lot of concept to master before understanding CoreSight. It
might not be obvious now but all that debugging you're doing will
definitely help in the future.

Good day,
There is a lot of documentation around on how to use the CoreSight
framework and drivers. In the kernel tree the documentation directory
[1] is a good place to start. Regarding the integration with perf and
how that works with the rest of the solution you are encouraged to
visit the openCSD github site [2]. There the "HOWTO.md" on the master
branch has all the details needed to get the solution going.
That being said the release of kernel v4.8 is imminent (Sunday
September 25th to be exact) and with it comes a lot of new
functionality. I will be rebasing all the out of tree code to v4.8
along with updating the documentation next week - by Friday September
20th everything should be in good standing.
In the mean time you can read the current HOWTO.md to get familiar
with the solution, that is probably a good time investment.
Thanks,
Mathieu

Hi Mathieu:
I am bob. And thanks for your time as always!
In the past for a while, I worked based on our kernel and applied the patches about coresight from “perf-opencsd-4.7”. However, it is not successful.
So, I work based on your kernel “perf-opencsd-4.7”, and add some drivers about the board made from Hisilicon. In theory, it should go well. But I get the
same error. When I use perf to record data, the record will stop for a long time. And I check the source code and the program will stay in “perf_evlist__poll”
and do not return just as follow.
[cid:image008.jpg@01D20A2E.C3BE2EC0]
So I use “Ctrl + C” to stop record, and I get the bug as follow.
[cid:image001.png@01D20A24.E814E6B0]
[cid:image002.png@01D20A26.DF7334B0]
On the other hand, I do a test as follow.
[cid:image009.jpg@01D20A2E.C3BE2EC0]
In the source code, when we use the ETR mode, it will allocate 1M space as follow.
[cid:image010.jpg@01D20A2E.C3BE2EC0]
So, the coresight turns out to work well. Here, I have another question, when I change “SZ_1M” to a value bigger than 1M such as “SZ_2M”, and I try to enable
the etr device, I get the error “cannot allocate memory”.
And I am sorry to trouble you, can you give me some suggestion? It really take a lot of my time to work on the project, I hope I can success finally.
Thanks very much for your time and all your help!!
Best regards!
Bob

You have found the problem - congratulation. I am working very hard on
upstreaming all the out-of-tree code available on github
(perf-opencsd-4.8-rc1) but it will probably take a few more kernel cycle
before everything finds its way mainline.
I am not sure how else I can help you, or if I can help you at all. All
the code is publicly available and updated with each new kernel cycle.
Best regards,
Mathieu
Hi All,
The first version of draft [1] just finished on google docs, it will
be (I hope) published as the September Core Dump article as we
expected. I tried my best to make the words and sentences in this
documentation clear and correct though, there must be some mistakes I
believe :)
Please have a look and any comments and advices would be greatly appreciated.
I've added a few person in the can-edit list, but I don't know exactly
all email addresses which are in this list, so you may find yourself
don't have the edit authority, if that's the case please let me know,
or you can simply comment on email.
Many thanks,
Chunyan

OpenCSD v0.4 provides a more scaleable and generic API for decoder
creation. This patch fixes the cs-etm-decoder in perf report to use
the new API.
Removes the deprecated protocol specific C API function calls used to
create decoders, replacing them with the general create by protocol name
API introduced in OpenCSD v0.4
Fix typename move from C API to more global ocsd_ API types.
