> +System Trace Module (STM) is a device described in MIPI STP specs as
> +STP trace stream generator. STP (System Trace Protocol) is a trace
> +protocol multiplexing data from multiple trace sources, each one of
> +which is assigned a unique pair of master and channel. While some of

> +hardware trace sources, others are available to software. Software
> +trace sources are usually free to pick for themselves any
> +master/channel combination from this pool.

> +order for the decoder to be able to make sense of the trace that
> +involves multiple trace sources, it needs to be able to map those
> +master/channel pairs to the trace sources that it understands.
> +
> +For instance, it is helpful to know that syslog messages come on
> +master 7 channel 15, while arbitrary user applications can use masters
> +48 to 63 and channels 0 to 127.

> +To solve this mapping problem, stm class provides a policy management

> +identifiers to ranges of masters and channels. If these rules (policy)
> +are consistent with what decoder expects, it will be able to properly
> +process the trace data.

> +associated with it, located in "stp-policy" subsystem directory in
> +configfs. The topmost directory's name (the policy) is formatted as

> +48 63
> +$ cat /config/stp-policy/dummy_stm.my-policy/user/channels
> +0 127
> +
> +which means that the master allocation pool for this rule consists of
> +masters 48 through 63 and channel allocation pool has channels 0
> +through 127 in it. Now, any producer (trace source) identifying itself
> +with "user" identification string will be allocated a master and
> +channel from within these ranges.

> +automatically allocated a master/channel pair upon first write to this
> +file descriptor according to the "default" rule of the policy, if such
> +exists.
> +
> +Some STM devices may allow direct mapping of the channel mmio regions
> +to userspace for zero-copy writing. One mappable page (in terms of
> +mmu) will usually contain multiple channels' mmios, so the user will
> +need to allocate that many channels to themselves (via the
> +aforementioned ioctl() call) to be able to do this. That is, if your
> +stm device's channel mmio region is 64 bytes and hardware page size is
> +4096 bytes, after a successful STP_POLICY_ID_SET ioctl() call with
> +width==64, you should be able to mmap() one page on this file
> +descriptor and obtain direct access to an mmio region for 64 channels.

I tried to update Coresight-stm driver[1] based on your this version
patch, but the Coresight-stm driver probe() failed.
the reason was:
In the end of Coresight stm_probe(), we called this function, but
"stm_core_up" was zero then, so the error returned value
"-EPROBE_DEFER" was received.

In fact, "stm_core_up" would increase itself until "stm_core_init" be
called - it's the root of this problem, I'll explain this where the
function "stm_core_init" defined.

And redoing Coresight stm_probe() will incur a WARN_ON() like below:

Since you are using module_init() instead of postcore_initcall() which
was in the last version patch, as such, this function would be
executed after Coresight "stm_probe" finished.

So, we think there a few optional solutions:
1) Remove the "stm_register_device" out from Coresight "stm_probe",
but we have to save another global variable:

    struct device *stm_dev;

in the process of Coresight "stm_probe".

2) Change module_init() to other XYX_init() which would run prior to
"amba_probe()" (i.e. the caller of Coresight stm_probe), this may be a
better one.

3) stm_core_init() could be turned into a library call where
initialisation of the internals is done when first called.

Looking forward to your reply/comments.

Thanks,
Chunyan
