Subject: [net-next v2 PATCH 0/2] Introduce mbox tracepoints for Octeontx2

From: Subbaraya Sundeep <sbhatta@...vell.com>

This patchset adds tracepoints support for mailbox.
In Octeontx2, PFs and VFs need to communicate with AF
for allocating and freeing resources. Once all the
configuration is done by AF for a PF/VF then packet I/O
can happen on PF/VF queues. When an interface
is brought up many mailbox messages are sent
to AF for initializing queues. Say a VF is brought up
then each message is sent to PF and PF forwards to
AF and response also traverses from AF to PF and then VF.
To aid debugging, tracepoints are added at places where
messages are allocated, sent and message interrupts.
Below is the trace of one of the messages from VF to AF
and AF response back to VF:

~ # echo 1 > /sys/kernel/tracing/events/rvu/enable
~ # ifconfig eth20 up
[  279.379559] eth20 NIC Link is UP 10000 Mbps Full duplex

v2 changes:
 Removed otx2_msg_err tracepoint since it is similar to devlink_hwerr
 and it will be used instead when devlink supported is added.

Subbaraya Sundeep (2):
  octeontx2-af: Introduce tracepoints for mailbox
  octeontx2-pf: Add tracepoints for PF/VF mailbox
