[PATCH V4 00/18] coresight: tmc: make driver usable by Perf

From: Mathieu Poirier
Date: Tue Apr 26 2016 - 18:15:59 EST


Not sure if another revision was needed but to be on the safe side here
it is. All patches are pretty much the same except for 9/18 and 10/18.
In the former the code has been made clearer by removing the "fast_path"
label while the latter serialize access to the trace trace data from
sysFS.

The patchset makes the TMC driver usable from Perf by way of the
recently added AUX area functionality. Note that only the kernel
side of the operation is presented here. The user space perf tool
enhancement are kept here[1]. Upstreaming of that portion will
follow when the kernel side has been addressed.

The first 15 patches remodel the driver so that the functionality
is compartmented enough to be used as building blocks when interfacing
with the Perf subsystem.

Patch 16 and 17 implement the AUX area API, taking heavily on the existing
ETB10 implementation.

Finally patch 18 allows the TMC to be used as a link rather than a sink,
something that is required when dealing with an ETF component.

Best regards,
Mathieu

Changes for V4:
- Made functions tmc_enable_etf/etr_sink_sysfs() more readable by
removing the "fast_path" label.
- Consolidated the return path in functions tmc_read_prepare_etf/etr().
- Dealt with race condition nightmares in tmc_open/release() by
serializing access to the trace data buffer.

Changes for V3:
- Reworked drvdata::memwidth assignment.
- cleaned up coresight-tmc.h header file.
- Added WARN_ON[_ONCE]() on error paths.
- Added missing spinlock release.
- Using a type 'long' when dealing with local_[cmp]xchg()
- Added Suzuki K Poulose's Reviewed-by.

Changes for V2:
- Renamed functions tmc_read_prepare/unprepare_etf() to
tmc_read_prepare/unprepare_etb().
- Consolidated return points in functions tmc_enable_etf/etr_sink().
- Re-wrote allocation schemed in functions tmc_enable_etf/etr_sink().
- Fixed description typos in patch 7/15.
- Fixed problem with linksink devices when disabling a path in patch 15/15.
