[PATCH] coresight: etm4x: Modify core-commit of cpu to avoid the overflow of HiSilicon ETM

From: Qi Liu
Date: Thu Sep 03 2020 - 07:54:07 EST


The ETM device can't keep up with the core pipeline when cpu core
is at full speed. This may cause overflow within core and its ETM.
This is a common phenomenon on ETM devices.

On HiSilicon Hip08 platform, a specific feature is added to set
core pipeline. So commit rate can be reduced manually to avoid ETM
overflow.
