Subject: [PATCH v3 00/16] arm64: Self-hosted trace related errata workarounds


This series adds CPU erratum work arounds related to the self-hosted
tracing. The list of affected errata handled in this series are :

 * TRBE may overwrite trace in FILL mode
   - Arm Neoverse-N2	#2139208
   - Cortex-A710	#211985

 * A TSB instruction may not flush the trace completely when executed
   in trace prohibited region.

   - Arm Neoverse-N2	#2067961
   - Cortex-A710	#2054223

 * TRBE may write to out-of-range address
   - Arm Neoverse-N2	#2253138
   - Cortex-A710	#2224489

The series applies on coresight/next. The series has been reordered
to make it easier to merge the patches via arm64 tree and the coresight
tree.

Patches 1-4 are could be picked up via arm64 tree. The rest can go via
the coresight tree. All Kconfig changes are at the end of the series
and could go via the coresight tree to make sure that the work arounds
are available in the final tree before they can be selected by the user.

A tree is available here :

git@....gitlab.arm.com:linux-arm/linux-skp.git  coresight/errata/trbe-tsb-n2-a710/v3

Changes since v2:
 * https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210921134121.2423546-1-suzuki.poulose@arm.com 
 - Dropped patch adding a helper to reach cpudata from perf handle
 - Split the TSB erratum work around patch to split the Kconfig/erratum
   list update changes(pushed to the end of the series).
 - Added wrappers to check the erratum :
    trbe_has_erratum(cpudata, TRBE_ERRATUM_<TITLE>) -> trbe_may_<title>
 - More ASCII art explanation on workaround.

Changes since v1:
 * https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210728135217.591173-1-suzuki.poulose@arm.com
 - Added a fix to the TRBE driver handling of sink_specific data
 - Added more description and ASCII art for overwrite in FILL mode
   work around 
 - Added another TRBE erratum to the list.
  "TRBE may write to out-of-range address"
  Patches from 12-17
 - Added comment to list the expectations around TSB erratum workaround.
