Subject: [PATCH v4 4/5] hwtracing: hisi_ptt: Advertise PERF_PMU_CAP_NO_EXCLUDE for PTT PMU

From: Yicong Yang <[email protected]>

The PTT trace collects PCIe TLP headers from the PCIe link and don't
have the ability to exclude certain context. It doesn't support itrace
as well. So only advertise PERF_PMU_CAP_NO_EXCLUDE. This will greatly
save the storage of final data. Tested tracing idle link for ~15s,
without this patch we'll collect ~28.682MB data for context related
information and with this patch it reduced to ~0.226MB.

According to the error prompt of function hisi_ptt_trace_start().
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.4-rc7/source/drivers/hwtracing/ptt/hisi_ptt.c#L197

You may be need to keep advertise PERF_PMU_CAP_EXCLUSIVE?
Such pmus can only have one event scheduled at a time, if not the perf
tool will report device busy.

Best regards,
Junhao.

Thanks for point it out. Checking [1] I think we still need this flag here, will add
it back.

Thanks.
