Hi Steve
fyi, the ACPI spec for CoreSight has been updated to relax the MMIO region requirement for ETMv4x and ETE. Please find it here :

Kind regards Suzuki

Hi Suzuki,
I've split out the bug fix (i.e. nr_addr_cmp use) to a separate patch
Thanks for that.
and added references to the Ampere erratum in silicon-errata.rst. These will be submitted as separate patches.
The ETM4.x TRCOSLAR.OSLK early clear has moved to etm4_init_csdev_iomem for all manufacturers. I think this is what you asked for. The no_quad_mmio flag has moved to struct csdev_access, and the split 64-bit read/write logic has been implemented entirely in the header file coresight-etm4x.h is the existing calls. I'd like to retire this patch thread, and submit these as a new thread. Is there an objection?
I would still like to use the system instructions method for the ETM, than hacking the MMIO access for something that is obsolete. The ACPI document for CoreSight will be published soon for review to accommodate the description for ETMs without MMIO and it no longer mandates the MemoryResource.
What is the objection to using system instruction access here ?
No objection going forward. For our initial release, we're not in a position to change the CoreSight DSDT based on a specification which is incomplete.
There is on change to the CoreSight DSDT specification as such. The only change to the "spec" is along the lines of :
"MMIO interface is mandatory only if not accessible via system instruction access "
Based on a quick sysreg only build, I didn't collect trace samples. I haven't had time to chase this, but the reported error is "timeout while waiting for Trace Idle Status" on a TRCSTATR read. More testing is
Are you able to access the other registers ?
e.g,
$ cat /sys/bus/coresight/devices/etm0/mgmt/trcpidr0
I'll need to determine which of the 3 coresight_timeout calls which read the TRCSTATR idle bit times out. In each case a number of sysreg accesses have occurred prior to any of these 3 calls.

required. If this isn't related to an Ampere sysreg access problem (doubtful), the next place I'd look is as a synchronization issue.
Thanks Suzuki
Thanks, Steve
