ETMv4 sysfs linux driver programming reference.
===============================================

    :Author:   Mike Leach <mike.leach@linaro.org>
    :Date:     October 11th, 2019

Supplement to existing ETMv4 driver documentation.

Sysfs files and directories
---------------------------

Root: ``/sys/bus/coresight/devices/etm<N>``


The following paragraphs explain the association between sysfs files and the
ETMv4 registers that they effect. Note the register names are given without
the ‘TRC’ prefix.

----

:File:            ``mode`` (rw)
:Trace Registers: {CONFIGR + others}
:Notes:
    Bit select trace features. See ‘mode’ section below. Bits
    in this will cause equivalent programming of trace config and
    other registers to enable the features requested.

:Syntax & eg:
    ``echo bitfield > mode``

    bitfield up to 32 bits setting trace features.

:Example:
    ``$> echo 0x012 > mode``

----

:File:            ``reset`` (wo)
:Trace Registers: All
:Notes:
    Reset all programming to trace nothing / no logic programmed.

:Syntax:
    ``echo 1 > reset``

----

:File:            ``enable_source`` (wo)
:Trace Registers: PRGCTLR, All hardware regs.
:Notes:
    - > 0 : Programs up the hardware with the current values held in the driver
      and enables trace.

    - = 0 : disable trace hardware.

:Syntax:
    ``echo 1 > enable_source``

    address range then display both addresses.

:Depends: ``addr_idx``
:Syntax:
    ``cat addr_cmp_view``
:Example:
    ``$> cat addr_cmp_view``

   ``addr_cmp[0] range 0x0 0xffffffffffffffff include ctrl(0x4b00)``

*Note:* When programming any address comparator the driver will tag the
comparator with a type used - i.e. RANGE, SINGLE, START, STOP. Once this tag
is set, then only the values can be changed using the same sysfs file / type
used to program it.

Thus::

  % echo 0 > addr_idx		; select address comparator 0
  % echo 0x1000 0x5000 0 > addr_range ; set address range on comparators 0, 1.
  % echo 0x2000 > addr_start    ; error as comparator 0 is a range comparator
  % echo 2 > addr_idx		; select address comparator 2
  % echo 0x2000 > addr_start	; this is OK as comparator 2 is unused.
  % echo 0x3000 > addr_stop	; error as comparator 2 set as start address.
  % echo 2 > addr_idx		; select address comparator 3
  % echo 0x3000 > addr_stop	; this is OK

To remove programming on all the comparators (and all the other hardware) use
the reset parameter::

  % echo 1 > reset



The ‘mode’ sysfs parameter.
---------------------------

This is a bitfield selection parameter that sets the overall trace mode for the
ETM. The table below describes the bits, using the defines from the driver
source file, along with a description of the feature these represent. Many
features are optional and therefore dependent on implementation in the
hardware.

Bit assignments shown below:-

----

**bit (0):**
    ETM_MODE_EXCLUDE

**description:**
    This is the default value for the include / exclude function when
    setting address ranges. Set 1 for exclude range. When the mode
    parameter is set this value is applied to the currently indexed
    address range.


**bit (4):**
    ETM_MODE_BB

**description:**
    Set to enable branch broadcast if supported in hardware [IDR0].


**bit (5):**
    ETMv4_MODE_CYCACC

**description:**
    Set to enable cycle accurate trace if supported [IDR0].


**bit (6):**
    ETMv4_MODE_CTXID

**description:**
    Set to enable context ID tracing if supported in hardware [IDR2].


**bit (7):**
    ETM_MODE_VMID

**description:**
    Set to enable virtual machine ID tracing if supported [IDR2].


**bit (11):**
    ETMv4_MODE_TIMESTAMP

**description:**
    Set to enable timestamp generation if supported [IDR0].


**bit (12):**
    ETM_MODE_RETURNSTACK
**description:**
    Set to enable trace return stack use if supported [IDR0].


**bit (13-14):**
    ETM_MODE_QELEM(val)

**description:**
    ‘val’ determines level of Q element support enabled if
    implemented by the ETM [IDR0]


**bit (19):**
    ETM_MODE_ATB_TRIGGER

**description:**
    Set to enable the ATBTRIGGER bit in the event control register
    [EVENTCTLR1] if supported [IDR5].


**bit (20):**
    ETM_MODE_LPOVERRIDE

**description:**
    Set to enable the LPOVERRIDE bit in the event control register
    [EVENTCTLR1], if supported [IDR5].


**bit (21):**
    ETM_MODE_ISTALL_EN

**description:**
    Set to enable the ISTALL bit in the stall control register
    [STALLCTLR]


**bit (23):**
    ETM_MODE_INSTPRIO

**description:**
	      Set to enable the INSTPRIORITY bit in the stall control register
	      [STALLCTLR] , if supported [IDR0].


**bit (24):**
    ETM_MODE_NOOVERFLOW

**description:**
    Set to enable the NOOVERFLOW bit in the stall control register
    [STALLCTLR], if supported [IDR3].


**bit (25):**
    ETM_MODE_TRACE_RESET

**description:**
    Set to enable the TRCRESET bit in the viewinst control register
    [VICTLR] , if supported [IDR3].


**bit (26):**
    ETM_MODE_TRACE_ERR

**description:**
    Set to enable the TRCCTRL bit in the viewinst control register
    [VICTLR].


**bit (27):**
    ETM_MODE_VIEWINST_STARTSTOP

**description:**
    Set the initial state value of the ViewInst start / stop logic
    in the viewinst control register [VICTLR]


**bit (30):**
    ETM_MODE_EXCL_KERN

**description:**
    Set default trace setup to exclude kernel mode trace (see note a)


**bit (31):**
    ETM_MODE_EXCL_USER

**description:**
    Set default trace setup to exclude user space trace (see note a)

----

*Note a)* On startup the ETM is programmed to trace the complete address space
using address range comparator 0. ‘mode’ bits 30 / 31 modify this setting to
set EL exclude bits for NS state in either user space (EL0) or kernel space
(EL1) in the address range comparator. (the default setting excludes all
secure EL, and NS EL2)

Once the reset parameter has been used, and/or custom programming has been
implemented - using these bits will result in the EL bits for address
comparator 0 being set in the same way.

*Note b)* Bits 2-3, 8-10, 15-16, 18, 22, control features that only work with
data trace. As A-profile data trace is architecturally prohibited in ETMv4,
these have been omitted here. Possible uses could be where a kernel has
support for control of R or M profile infrastructure as part of a heterogeneous
system.

Bits 17, 28-29 are unused.
