Subject: [PATCH] tracing: add support for tracing MMIO helpers

Add support for tracing the MMIO helpers readl()/writel() (and their
variants), for use while developing and debugging device drivers.

The address and the value are saved along with the C expressions used in
the driver when calling these MMIO access functions, leading to a trace
of the driver's interactions with the hardware's registers:

We do not globally replace the MMIO helpers. Instead, tracing must be
explicitly enabled in the required driver source files by #defining
TRACE_MMIO_HELPERS at the top of the file.

The support is added via <asm-generic/io.h> and as such is only
available on the archs which use that header.

Why that limitation? I think only few architectures use it. Maybe
at least enable it for x86 as well?

How about putting a whitelist of architectures here that are including
the necessary definitions? Or better, a HAVE_TRACE_MMIO_HELPERS
symbol that gets selected by architectures and that this depends on?

We have a number of other accessors that are commonly used:

{ioread,iowrite}{8,16,32,64}{,_be}
{in,out}{b,w,l,q}
{hi_lo_,lo_hi_}{read,write}q

Other than having to write up the code for all of them, are the
strong reasons for defining only the subset you currently have?

Seems to work to on x86 (and presumably other archs as well, not tested
yet) to insert the include into linux/io.h instead of asm-generic/io.h.

If it works with linux/io.h we won't need to restrict it to specific
archs, otherwise I'll add a symbol as you suggest.

I'll make the code handle these.

> {in,out}{b,w,l,q}

These are port-mapped IO accesors, aren't they? They don't even take
pointer arguments so mmio:* tracepoints don't seem appropriate for them?

> {hi_lo_,lo_hi_}{read,write}q

There's only a single definition of these and that is in terms of
writel()/readl() so they should be coverd by the readl/writel case.
