This patch series is rebased on v6.6-rc3 and is dependent
on the below two patches.
- coresight: tmc: Make etr buffer mode user configurable from sysfs[1]
- coresight: Fix run time warnings while reusing ETR buffer[2]

Changelog from RFC v3:
* Converted the Coresight ETM driver change to a named configuration. 
  RFC tag has been removed with this change.
* Fixed yaml issues reported by "make dt_binding_check"
* Added names for reserved memory regions 0 and 1
* Added prevalidation checks for metadata processing 
* Fixed a regression introduced in RFC v3 
  - TMC Status register was getting saved wrongly
* Reverted memremap attribute changes from _WB to _WC to match 
  with the dma map attributes
* Introduced reserved buffer mode specific .sync op.
  This fixes a possible crash when reserved buffer mode was used in 
  normal trace capture, due to unwanted dma maintenance operations.   

RFC V3 is posted here:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20230905153528.GA3428758-robh@kernel.org/T/

  
Using Coresight for Kernel panic and Watchdog reset
===================================================
This patch series is about extending Linux coresight driver support to
address kernel panic and watchdog reset scenarios. This would help
coresight users to debug kernel panic and watchdog reset using
coresight trace data.

Coresight trace capture: Kernel panic
-------------------------------------
From the coresight driver point of view, addressing the kernel panic
situation has four main requirements.

a. Support for allocation of trace buffer pages from reserved memory area.
   Platform can advertise this using a new device tree property added to
   relevant coresight nodes.

b. Support for stopping coresight blocks at the time of panic

c. Saving required metadata in the specified format

d. Support for reading trace data captured at the time of panic

Allocation of trace buffer pages from reserved RAM
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A new optional device tree property "memory-region" is added to the
ETR/ETF device nodes, that would give the base address and size of trace
buffer.

Static allocation of trace buffers would ensure that both IOMMU enabled
and disabled cases are handled. Also, platforms that support persistent
RAM will allow users to read trace data in the subsequent boot without
booting the crashdump kernel.  

Note:
For ETR sink devices, this reserved region will be used for both trace
capture and trace data retrieval.
For ETF sink devices, internal SRAM would be used for trace capture,
and they would be synced to reserved region for retrieval.

Note: Patches 1 & 2 adds support for this.

Disabling coresight blocks at the time of panic
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In order to avoid the situation of losing relevant trace data after a
kernel panic, it would be desirable to stop the coresight blocks at the
time of panic.

This can be achieved by configuring the comparator, CTI and sink
devices as below,  

Comparator(triggers on kernel panic) --->External out --->CTI --
								|	
		 ETR/ETF stop <------External In <--------------
Note:

* Patch 6 provides the necessary ETR configuration.
* Patch 7 provides the necessary ETM configuration.

Saving metadata at the time of kernel panic
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Coresight metadata involves all additional data that are required for a 
successful trace decode in addition to the trace data. This involves
ETR/ETF, ETE register snapshot etc.

A new optional device property "memory-region" is added to
the ETR/ETF/ETE device nodes for this. 

Note: Patches 3 & 4 adds support for this.

Reading trace data captured at the time of panic
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Trace data captured at the time of panic, can be read from rebooted kernel
or from crashdump kernel using the below mentioned interface. 

Note: Patch 5 adds support for this.

Steps for reading trace data captured in previous boot
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
1. cd /sys/bus/coresight/devices/tmc_etrXX/

2. Change to special mode called, read_prevboot.

   #echo 1 > read_prevboot

3. Dump trace buffer data to a file,

   #dd if=/dev/tmc_etrXX of=~/cstrace.bin

4. Reset back to normal mode

   #echo 0 > read_prevboot

General flow of trace capture and decode incase of kernel panic 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. Enable source and sink on all the cores using the sysfs interface.
   ETR sink will have trace buffers allocated from reserved memory,
   by selecting "resrv" buffer mode from sysfs.

2. Run relevant tests.

3. On a kernel panic, all coresight blocks are disabled, necessary 
   metadata is synced by kernel panic handler.

   System would eventually reboot or boot a crashdump kernel.

4. For  platforms that supports crashdump kernel, raw trace data can be
   dumped using the coresight sysfs interface from the crashdump kernel
   itself. Persistent RAM is not a requirement in this case.

5. For platforms that supports persistent RAM, trace data can be dumped
   using the coresight sysfs interface in the subsequent Linux boot.
   Crashdump kernel is not a requirement in this case. Persistent RAM
   ensures that trace data is intact across reboot.

Coresight trace capture: Watchdog reset 
---------------------------------------
The main difference between addressing the watchdog reset and kernel panic
case are below,

a. Saving coresight metadata need to be taken care by the
   SCP(system control processor) firmware in the specified format,
   instead of kernel.

b. Reserved memory region given by firmware for trace buffer and metadata
   has to be in persistent RAM. 
   Note: This is a requirement for watchdog reset case but optional 
   in kernel panic case.

Watchdog reset can be supported only on platforms that meet the above
two requirements.

Testing Kernel panic on Linux 6.6
---------------------------------
1. Enable the preloaded ETM configuration

  #mount -t configfs configs /config
  #panic_addr=`cat /proc/kallsyms  | grep "\<panic\>"  | awk '{print $1}'`
  #cd /config/cs-syscfg/features/gen_etrig/params
  #echo "0x$panic_addr" > address/value
  #echo 1 > /config/cs-syscfg/configurations/panicstop/enable

2. Configure CTI using sysfs interface 

  #./cti_setup.sh

  #cat cti_setup.sh 

  cd /sys/bus/coresight/devices/

  ap_cti_config () {
    #ETM trig out[0] trigger to Channel 0
    echo 0 4 > channels/trigin_attach
  }

  etf_cti_config () {
    #ETF Flush in trigger from Channel 0
    echo 0 1 > channels/trigout_attach
    echo 1 > channels/trig_filter_enable
  }

  etr_cti_config () {
    #ETR Flush in from Channel 0 
    echo 0 1 > channels/trigout_attach
    echo 1 > channels/trig_filter_enable
  }

  ctidevs=`find . -name "cti*"`

  for i in $ctidevs
  do
          cd $i

          connection=`find . -name "ete*"`
          if [ ! -z "$connection" ]
          then
                  echo "AP CTI config for $i"
                  ap_cti_config
          fi

          connection=`find . -name "tmc_etf*"`
          if [ ! -z "$connection" ]
          then
                  echo "ETF CTI config for $i"
                  etf_cti_config
          fi

          connection=`find . -name "tmc_etr*"`
          if [ ! -z "$connection" ]
          then
                  echo "ETR CTI config for $i"
                  etr_cti_config
          fi

          cd ..
  done

Note: CTI connections are SOC specific and hence the above script is
added just for reference. 

3. Choose reserved buffer mode for ETR buffer
  #echo "resrv" > /sys/bus/coresight/devices/tmc_etr0/buf_mode_preferred

4. Start Coresight tracing on cores 1 and 2 using sysfs interface

5. Run some application on core 1 
  #taskset -c 1 dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/null &

6. Invoke kernel panic on core 2
  #echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/panic
  #taskset -c 2 echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger

7. From rebooted kernel, enable previous boot mode

  #echo 1 > /sys/bus/coresight/devices/tmc_etr0/read_prevboot 

8. Read trace data
  #dd if=/dev/tmc_etr0 of=/trace/cstrace.bin 

9. Run opencsd decoder tools/scripts to generate the instruction trace.
