Subject: [PATCH 00/17] coresight: Use per-sink trace ID maps for Perf sessions

This will allow sessions with more than CORESIGHT_TRACE_IDS_MAX ETMs
as long as there are fewer than that many ETMs connected to each sink.

Each sink owns its own trace ID map, and any Perf session connecting to
that sink will allocate from it, even if the sink is currently in use by
other users. This is similar to the existing behavior where the dynamic
trace IDs are constant as long as there is any concurrent Perf session
active. It's not completely optimal because slightly more IDs will be
used than necessary, but the optimal solution involves tracking the PIDs
of each session and allocating ID maps based on the session owner. This
is difficult to do with the combination of per-thread and per-cpu modes
and some scheduling issues. The complexity of this isn't likely to worth
it because even with multiple users they'd just see a difference in the
ordering of ID allocations rather than hitting any limits (unless the
hardware does have too many ETMs connected to one sink).

Per-thread mode works but only until there are any overlapping IDs, at
which point Perf will error out. Both per-thread mode and sysfs mode are
left to future changes, but both can be added on top of this initial
implementation and only sysfs mode requires further driver changes.

The HW_ID version field hasn't been bumped in order to not break Perf
which already has an error condition for other values of that field.
Instead a new minor version has been added which signifies that there
are new fields but the old fields are backwards compatible.


James Clark (17):

  perf: cs-etm: Move traceid_list to each queue
  perf: cs-etm: Create decoders based on the trace ID mappings
  perf: cs-etm: Support version 0.1 of HW_ID packets
  coresight: Remove unused stubs
