Mainly, it extends current support of CoreSight ETM, that is currently very limited. ETM provides hardware-assisted program tracing, a cycle-precise and low-overhead solution that software tools such as 'perf record' cannot provide. Usage of ETM tracing facility is presently limited to start and stop tracing. This set of patches enables management of address combinations and PIDs that trigger tracing, thus allowing to trace specific functions and processes. ETM management was done via sysfs entries (trace_info, trace_running...), this code adds trace_addrrange and trace_pid to let the user read/write custom values. Changes in V2: - Use device attributes rather than raw kobjects - Make PID_IN_CONTEXTIDR incompatible with PID_NS in Kconfig - Use int for pid type (not long) - During trace fetching, call vmalloc() only if really needed This series of patches applies to v3.13. Adrien Vergé (6): ARM CoreSight: ETM: Use device attributes ARM CoreSight: ETM: Rename 'comparator' to 'address comparator' ARM CoreSight: ETM: Add address control support ARM: Make PID_IN_CONTEXTIDR incompatible with PID_NS ARM CoreSight: ETM: Add PID control support ARM CoreSight: ETM: Allocate a trace buffer only when necessary arch/arm/Kconfig.debug | 2 +- arch/arm/include/asm/hardware/coresight.h | 9 +- arch/arm/kernel/etm.c | 208 +++++++++++++++++++++++------- arch/arm64/Kconfig.debug | 1 + 4 files changed, 169 insertions(+), 51 deletions(-) -- 1.8.5.2 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
