[PATCH V2] coresight: tmc: Make etr buffer mode user configurable from sysfs

Anshuman Khandual anshuman.khandual at arm.com
Fri Aug 18 01:21:12 PDT 2023


Currently TMC-ETR automatically selects the buffer mode from all available
methods in the following sequentially fallback manner - also in that order.

1. FLAT mode with or without IOMMU
2. TMC-ETR-SG (scatter gather) mode when available
3. CATU mode when available

But this order might not be ideal for all situations. For example if there
is a CATU connected to ETR, it may be better to use TMC-ETR scatter gather
method, rather than CATU. But hard coding such order changes will prevent
us from testing or using a particular mode. This change provides following
new sysfs tunables for the user to control TMC-ETR buffer mode explicitly,
if required. This adds following new sysfs files for buffer mode selection
purpose explicitly in the user space.

/sys/bus/coresight/devices/tmc_etr<N>/buf_modes_available
/sys/bus/coresight/devices/tmc_etr<N>/buf_mode_preferred

$ cat buf_modes_available
auto flat tmc-sg catu	------------------> Supported TMC-ETR buffer modes

$ echo catu > buf_mode_preferred   -------> Explicit buffer mode request

But explicit user request has to be within supported ETR buffer modes only.
These sysfs interface files are exclussive to ETR, and hence these are not
available for other TMC devices such as ETB or ETF etc.

A new auto' mode (i.e ETR_MODE_AUTO) has been added to help fallback to the
existing default behaviour, when user provided preferred buffer mode fails.
ETR_MODE_FLAT and ETR_MODE_AUTO are always available as preferred modes.

This applies on v6.5-rc6

Changes in V2:

- Renamed sysfs file etr_buf_modes_available as buf_modes_available
- Renamed sysfs file buf_mode_current as buf_mode_preferred
- Renamed etr_supports_flat_mode() as etr_can_use_flat_mode()
- Renamed coresight_tmc_groups[] as coresight_etf_groups[]
- Reused coresight_tmc_group[] for trigger_cntr and buffer_size
- Fallback trying ETR_MODE_AUTO when user preferred mode fails
- Moved ETR sysfs details into coresight-tmc-etr.c
- Dropped etr_can_use_flat_mode() check while offering ETR_MODE_FLAT in sysfs
- Moved struct etr_buf_hw inside coresight-tmc-etr.c
- Moved get_etr_buf_hw() and etr_can_use_flat_mode() inside coresight-tmc-etr.c
- Updated month in Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-coresight-devices-tmc
