Hi,
This change has a soft dependency on [1], but assuming the name/location of the new sysfs interface (ts_source) doesn't change, it should be safe to apply.
The new 'ts_source' interface allows perf to detect if the timestamps in the trace correspond to the value of CNTVCT_EL0, which we can convert to a perf timestamp and store it in the instruction and branch samples.
Due to the way the trace is compressed and decoded by OpenCSD, we only know the precise time of the first instruction in a range, but I think for now this is better than not having timestamps at all...
Thanks, German

Previously, adding a new parameter at the end of ETMv4 meant adding it somewhere in the middle of ETE, which is not supported by the current header version.

Hi German,

Hi,
This change has a soft dependency on [1], but assuming the name/location of the new sysfs interface (ts_source) doesn't change, it should be safe to apply.
The new 'ts_source' interface allows perf to detect if the timestamps in the trace correspond to the value of CNTVCT_EL0, which we can convert to a perf timestamp and store it in the instruction and branch samples.
Due to the way the trace is compressed and decoded by OpenCSD, we only know the precise time of the first instruction in a range, but I think for now this is better than not having timestamps at all...
The output of OpenCSD is reflective of the architecture of the trace hardware.
Timestamps in the trace are always associated with waypoint elements - primarily branches. Hardware trace compression results in only these elements being output, i.e. E / N atoms representing branches taken or not taken. Instructions between branches have no explicit element appearing in the trace. The decode process implies all the instructions between these elements to form a range of executed instructions, hence the timestamp being associated with the first instruction in a range. Moreover, even though we may request a high timestamp rate, output of other trace is prioritised over timestamp trace, so there is never any guarantee that we can force timestamps to appear at the start of every range.
Any attempt to increase number of timestamps in a trace range would have to be done by some software interpolation mechanism
Regards
Mike

While reviewing this I noticed:

------------------------
Shouldn't we introduce a:
const int perf__pmu_pathname_scnprintf(struct perf_pmu *pmu, char *pathname, size_t size, char *filename) {
return scnprintf(pathname, size, "%s" EVENT_SOURCE_DEVICE_PATH "%s/%s", sysfs, pmu->name, filename); }
And use in your perf_pmu__file_exists() and in the other places where this open coded pattern appears?
I'm waiting for reviews for the ARM specific bits.

I agree. If nobody else has done it before me, I will send the refactor in the next respin.
