SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +====================================== +CoreSight System Configuration Manager +====================================== + + :Author: Mike Leach + :Date: October 2020 + +Introduction +============ + +The CoreSight System Configuration manager is an API that allows the +programming of the CoreSight system with pre-defined configurations that +can then be easily enabled from sysfs or perf. + +Many CoreSight components can be programmed in complex ways - especially ETMs. +In addition, components can interact across the CoreSight system, often via +the cross trigger components such as CTI and CTM. These system settings can +be defined and enabled as named configurations. + + +Basic Concepts +============== + +This section introduces the basic concepts of a CoreSight system configuration. + + +Features +-------- + +A feature is a named set of programming for a CoreSight device. The programming +is device dependent, and can be defined in terms of absolute register values, +resource usage and parameter values. + +The feature is defined using a descriptor. This descriptor is used to load onto +a matching device, either when the feature is loaded into the system, or when the +CoreSight device is registered with the configuration manager. + +The load process involves interpreting the descriptor into a set of register +accesses in the driver - the resource usage and parameter descriptions +translated into appropriate register accesses. This interpretation makes it easy +and efficient for the feature to be programmed onto the device when required. + +The feature will not be active on the device until the feature is enabled, and +the device itself is enabled. When the device is enabled then enabled features +will be programmed into the device hardware. + +A feature is enabled as part of a configuration being enabled on the system. + + +Parameter Value +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +A parameter value is a named value that may be set by the user prior to the +feature being enabled that can adjust the behaviour of the operation programmed +by the feature. + +For example, this could be a count value in a programmed operation that repeats +at a given rate. When the feature is enabled then the current value of the +parameter is used in programming the device. + +The feature descriptor defines a default value for a parameter, which is used +if the user does not supply a new value. + +Users can update parameter values using the configfs API for the CoreSight +system - which is described below. + +The current value of the parameter is loaded into the device when the feature +is enabled on that device. + + +Configurations +-------------- + +A configuration defines a set of features that are to be used in a trace +session where the configuration is selected. For any trace session only one +configuration may be selected. + +The features defined may be on any type of device that is registered +to support system configuration. A configuration may select features to be +enabled on a class of devices - i.e. any ETMv4, or specific devices, e.g. a +specific CTI on the system. + +As with the feature, a descriptor is used to define the configuration. +This will define the features that must be enabled as part of the configuration +as well as any preset values that can be used to override default parameter +values. + + +Preset Values +~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Preset values are easily selectable sets of parameter values for the features +that the configuration uses. The number of values in a single preset set, equals +the sum of parameter values in the features used by the configuration. + +e.g. a configuration consists of 3 features, one has 2 parameters, one has +a single parameter, and another has no parameters. A single preset set will +therefore have 3 values. + +Presets are optionally defined by the configuration, up to 15 can be defined. +If no preset is selected, then the parameter values defined in the feature +are used as normal. + + +Operation +~~~~~~~~~ + +The following steps take place in the operation of a configuration. + +1) In this example, the configuration is 'autofdo', which has an + associated feature 'strobing' that works on ETMv4 CoreSight Devices. + +2) The configuration is enabled. For example 'perf' may select the + configuration as part of its command line:: + + perf record -e cs_etm/autofdo/ myapp + + which will enable the 'autofdo' configuration. + +3) perf starts tracing on the system. As each ETMv4 that perf uses for + trace is enabled, the configuration manager will check if the ETMv4 + has a feature that relates to the currently active configuration. + In this case 'strobing' is enabled & programmed into the ETMv4. + +4) When the ETMv4 is disabled, any registers marked as needing to be + saved will be read back. + +5) At the end of the perf session, the configuration will be disabled. + + +Viewing Configurations and Features +=================================== + +The set of configurations and features that are currently loaded into the +system can be viewed using the configfs API. + +Mount configfs as normal and the 'coresight-syscfg' subsystem will appear:: + + $ ls /config + coresight-syscfg stp-policy + +This has two sub-directories:: + + $ cd coresight-syscfg/ + $ ls + configurations features + +The system has the configuration 'autofdo' built in.
