Add driver for UltraSoc SMB(System Memory Buffer) device.
SMB provides a way to buffer messages from ETM, and store
these "CPU instructions trace" in system memory.
The SMB device is identifier as ACPI HID "HISI03A1". Device
system memory address resources are allocated using the _CRS
method and buffer modes is the circular buffer mode.
SMB is developed by UltraSoc technology, which is acquired by
Siemens, and we still use "UltraSoc" to name driver.

As pointed out in the last review, we must do this step
everytime for perf mode irrespective of whether the buffer
was "FULL" or not.
i.e, the above block should simply be:
if (sdb->full)
smb_purge_data(drvdata);
/*
* The uncollected Data must be discarded for perf,
* as it cannot be clubbed with next schedule. We
* any way TRUNCATE the buffer in this case.
*/
writel(readl(drvdata->base + SMB_LB_WR_ADDR_REG),
drvdata->base + SMB_LB_RD_ADDR_REG);

Hi Suzuki,
We need to update SMB_LB_RD_ADDR_REG register first, then
check the "full" flag, whether the register needs to be
updated again.
Why ? sdb->full is not updated after the write to RD_ADDR_REG.
Hi Suzuki,
Maybe using the code below is more appropriate.
i.e,
writel(sdb->start_addr + sdb->rd_offset,
drvdata->base + SMB_LB_RD_ADDR_REG);
/*
* The uncollected Data must be discarded for perf,
* as it cannot be clubbed with next schedule. We
* any way TRUNCATE the buffer in this case.
*/
smb_update_data_size(drvdata);
if (sdb->data_size)
writel(readl(drvdata->base + SMB_LB_WR_ADDR_REG),
drvdata->base + SMB_LB_RD_ADDR_REG);
That should work. However, my question is, we must set the
RD_ADDR_REG to the WR_ADDR_REG in all cases. So, why not :
/*
* We must flush and discard any data left in the
* buffer for a perf session, to avoid mixing
* the data from sessions.
* We TRUNCATE the buffer anyways to indicate
* that the buffer was lost.
*/
smb_purge_data();
writel(readl(drvdata->base + SMB_LB_WR_ADDR_REG),
drvdata->base + SMB_LB_RD_ADDR_REG);
and avoid the extra write ?
If we don`t update the value of SMB_LB_RD_ADDR_REG register
or reset buffer state, the buffer state will still be "full".
The buffer has not free area,so the data will still remain
in link.
My issue here is with potentially "leaving the trace from a previous
session for the next session". i.e., at the end of a run, we must always
make sure that the buffer is left empty (unlike the sysfs mode).
e.g.,
perf_session_x: RUN0: RD=0x0, WR=0x5000, HANDLE_SIZE=0x3000, full=false.
At the end of the above routine we will have :
RD=0x3000, WR=0x5000,
and if a different perf session comes in, say perf_session_y, it will
consume trace written by "x" at 0x3000-0x50000, right ?
This is fine in the sysfs mode as we expect the entire sysfs mode
to be owned by a single session and is left to the user to split it.
But for perf mode we cannot do that and thus must make sure we don't
leak trace from one session to antoher.
Suzuki
In this cace: RUN0: RD=0x0, WR=0x5000, HANDLE_SIZE=0x3000, full=false.
We will update the "rd_offset" in smb_update_buffer() function.
like this:
...
if (data_size > handle->size) {
sdb->rd_offset += data_size - handle->size;
sdb->rd_offset %= sdb->buf_size;
...
}
...
So the rd_offset will advance to 0x2000 first,
then we dump the latest trace data (0x2000 - 0x5000) from "buf_base +
rd_offset".
Right, that makes sense.
Thanks
Suzuki
