[PATCH 0/2] Add SCMI full message tracing

[Cristian Marussi]

Hi,

after a few recent troubles handling too strictly out-of-spec replies from
SCMI servers deployed in the wild, I though it could have been useful to
have a basic way to dump at will the effective full payloads of successfuly
transmitted/received SCMI messages.

The existing SCMI traces already collect a bunch of information about SCMI
message exchanges but they do NOT keep any payload information: this is
certainly preferable most of the time since dumping full SCMI messages to
the trace buffer involves a full copy of the payload.

For this reason I added a new distinct trace_scmi_msg_dump with this series
in order to be able to selectively enable at will message dumping only when
required.

Only successfully transmitted and received (valid) xfers are dumped.

At first I was thinking about just dumping raw header and payload, but in
order to make the log a bit more human readable (without the need of
tooling to parse the log), I added some parsing/interpretation of the
header, so that the final result is something like:

root@deb-guest:~# echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/scmi/scmi_msg_dump/enable 
root@deb-guest:~# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_pipe

Payload is dumped as it comes through byte-by-byte without any endianity
conversion to avoid further load on the system.

Any thoughs ?

Thanks,
Cristian
