This series adds support for the trace performance monitoring and
diagnostics hardware (TPDM and TPDA). It is composed of two major
elements.
a) Changes for original coresight framework to support for TPDM and TPDA.
b) Add driver code for TPDM and TPDA.

Introduction of changes for original coresight framework
Support TPDM as new coresight source.
Since only STM and ETM are supported as coresight source originally.
TPDM is a newly added coresight source. We need to change
the original way of saving coresight path to support more types source
for coresight driver.
The following patch is to add support more coresight sources.
    Use IDR to maintain all the enabled sources' paths.
    coresight: Use bitmap to assign trace id to the sources

Introduction of TPDM and TPDA
TPDM - The trace performance monitoring and diagnostics monitor or TPDM in
short serves as data collection component for various dataset types
specified in the QPMDA(Qualcomm performance monitoring and diagnostics
architecture) spec. The primary use case of the TPDM is to collect data
from different data sources and send it to a TPDA for packetization,
timestamping and funneling.
    Coresight: Add coresight TPDM source driver
    dt-bindings: arm: Adds CoreSight TPDM hardware definitions
    coresight-tpdm: Add DSB dataset support
    coresight-tpdm: Add integration test support
    docs: sysfs: coresight: Add sysfs ABI documentation for TPDM

TPDA - The trace performance monitoring and diagnostics aggregator or
TPDA in short serves as an arbitration and packetization engine for the
performance monitoring and diagnostics network as specified in the QPMDA
(Qualcomm performance monitoring and diagnostics architecture)
specification. The primary use case of the TPDA is to provide
packetization, funneling and timestamping of Monitor data as specified
in the QPMDA specification.
The following patch is to add driver for TPDA.
    Coresight: Add TPDA link driver
    dt-bindings: arm: Adds CoreSight TPDA hardware definitions

The last patch of this series is a device tree modification, which add
the TPDM and TPDA configuration to device tree for validating.
    ARM: dts: msm: Add coresight components for SM8250

Once this series patches are applied properly, the tpdm and tpda nodes
should be observed at the coresight path /sys/bus/coresight/devices
e.g.
/sys/bus/coresight/devices # ls -l | grep tpd
tpda0 -> ../../../devices/platform/soc@0/6004000.tpda/tpda0
tpdm0 -> ../../../devices/platform/soc@0/6c08000.mm.tpdm/tpdm0

We can use the commands are similar to the below to validate TPDMs.
Enable coresight sink first.

echo 1 > /sys/bus/coresight/devices/tmc_etf0/enable_sink
echo 1 > /sys/bus/coresight/devices/tpdm0/enable_source
echo 1 > /sys/bus/coresight/devices/tpdm0/integration_test
echo 2 > /sys/bus/coresight/devices/tpdm0/integration_test
The test data will be collected in the coresight sink which is enabled.
If rwp register of the sink is keeping updating when do
integration_test (by cat tmc_etf0/mgmt/rwp), it means there is data
generated from TPDM to sink.

Changes from V2:
1. Use bitmap to assign the trace id. (Mathieu Poirier)

Hello  Mao,

I have looked through this set and have a few general questions.

My understanding based on the information in the code is that the TPDM
devices will always send data to the TPDA device, the TPDM is not
capable of directly driving the ATB itself?
The TPDA device  will then packetize the inputs and output these to
the ATB over the normal CoreSight architecture to a standard ETR / ETF
for collection.

Looking at the TPDM driver - it is assigned a trace ID but never
actually uses it in the hardware. My assumption here is that this is
used purely to satisfy the requirement that the CoreSight core has
that all sources have a unique trace id?

For the TPDA driver you assign an ATID as an attribute in device tree,
and then program this into the devices control register.

The trace IDs in ETM / ETE / STM, are programmed into the hardware and
these values drive the ATID value on the trace bus. So assigning an
ATID value to the TPDA driver through device tree will lead to clashes
with the assignment of trace IDs in the other driver software.

The topology here appears to me that you have multiple  "data source"
devices TPDM, supplying a TPDA - which is the real CoreSight "trace
source" from the viewpoint of the trace bus and CoreSight
infrastructure.
To get this to work in the current CoreSight driver stack, you have
assigned the TPDM as a source type, and the TPDA as a link to ensure
that when a TPDM is started, all the components on the path to the
sink are activated.
This is fine.

If my assumptions above are all accurate I suggest the following improvements

For TPDA drop the device tree assignment of ATID and instead use the
coresight_get_system_trace_id() function you introduce in the 2nd
patch in this set.

For TPDM you have assigned a unique source sub-type
CORESIGHT_DEV_SUBTYPE_SOURCE_SYS.- this could become
CORESIGHT_DEV_SUBTYPE_SOURCE_DATA_ONLY. If the trace ID assigned to
this device is only to satisfy the unique ID requirement and is not
used elsewhere, then the sub type could become
CORESIGHT_DEV_SUBTYPE_SOURCE_DATA_ONLY. We can agree that this sub
type does not need a unique ID and acts as none ATB a source for
another component, The core code can be altered to drop the
requirement for this sub-type and trace ID can be dropped for this
component.

You should be aware that we are in the process of re-designed how
trace IDs are allocated. The current mechanism does not scale for
large multi-core systems (currently broken for any system > 46 cores),
and as you have discovered there is a need for additional allocation
of IDs. Also the ETE / TRBE combination does not need a trace ID.  A
dynamic allocation system is being proposed.

Regards

Mike

Hi  Mike,

Your assumptions above are all correct.
TPDMs connect to the same TPDA will share the atid of the TPDA.
We have a PC tool to parse the TPDM trace data. It needs the fixed atid 
for each TPDA to identify the data.
So we configure the atid for TPDA in device tree with fixed ids.
I will discuss with internal tool team to see if TPDA's id can become 
dynamic when parse the data.

Apart from the TPDA's atid, we also have some other sources with fixed 
id in HW on our internal device.
Do you have any suggestion to how to allocate the IDs for the source 
with fixed id in HW ?

Thanks
Jinlong Mao

Hi Mike & Mathieu & Suzuki,


Could you please help to review the other patches while we are 
discussing with internal tool team about the trace_id change ?

I understand that it is essential to know the ID when extracting the
trace from a sink with a coresight frame fomatter.
However, tools such as perf, achieve this by saving the metadata for
the session. If you are programming the trace ID, then it should be
possible to read back the same register to get the required
information for your trace session.

If this is genuinely not possible for your system, then treat as a
fixed ID as I describe below.

Fixed IDs in hardware - assuming that these devices do write directly
onto the trace bus using the ATID, should be accommodated by reserving
the fixed ID in any scheme used to allocate IDs,
In your case this would be to set a bit at the correct area in the bitfield.

As mentioned we are working on an updated system to dynamically
allocate IDs for CoreSight sources - a reservation scheme for fixed ID
devices will be provided
.
