perf cs-etm: Generate branch sample for exception packet

2018-12-18T15:24:00Z

The exception packet appears as one element with 'elem_type' == OCSD_GEN_TRC_ELEM_EXCEPTION or OCSD_GEN_TRC_ELEM_EXCEPTION_RET, which is present for exception entry and exit respectively. The decoder sets the packet fields 'packet->exc' and 'packet->exc_ret' to indicate the exception packets; but exception packets don't have a dedicated sample type and shares the same sample type CS_ETM_RANGE with normal instruction packets. As a result, the exception packets are taken as normal instruction packets and this introduces confusion in mixing different packet types. Furthermore, these instruction range packets will be processed for branch samples only when 'packet->last_instr_taken_branch' is true, otherwise they will be omitted, this can introduce a mess for exception and exception returning due to not having the complete address range info for context switching. To process exception packets properly, this patch introduces two new sample types: CS_ETM_EXCEPTION and CS_ETM_EXCEPTION_RET; these two types of packets will be handled by cs_etm__exception(). The function cs_etm__exception() forces setting the previous CS_ETM_RANGE packet flag 'prev_packet->last_instr_taken_branch' to true, this matches well with the program flow when the exception is trapped from user space to kernel space, no matter if the most recent flow has branch taken or not; this is also safe for returning to user space after exception handling. After exception packets have their own sample type, the packet fields 'packet->exc' and 'packet->exc_ret' aren't needed anymore, so remove them.

perf cs-etm: Treat EO_TRACE element as trace discontinuity

2018-12-18T15:23:59Z

If the decoder outputs an EO_TRACE element, it means the end of the trace buffer; this is a discontinuity and in this case the end of trace data needs to be saved. This patch generates a CS_ETM_DISCONTINUITY packet for the EO_TRACE element hereby flushing the end of trace data in cs-etm.c.

perf cs-etm: Treat NO_SYNC element as trace discontinuity

2018-12-18T15:23:59Z

The CoreSight tracer driver might insert barrier packets between different buffers, thus the decoder can spot the boundaries based on the barrier packet; it is possible for the decoder to hit a barrier packet and emit a NO_SYNC element, then the decoder will find a periodic synchronisation point inside that next trace block that starts the trace again but does not have the TRACE_ON element as indicator - usually because this trace block has wrapped the buffer so we have lost the original point when the trace was enabled. In the first case it causes the insertion of a OCSD_GEN_TRC_ELEM_NO_SYNC in the middle of the tracing stream, but as we were not handling the NO_SYNC element properly this ends up making users miss the discontinuity indications. Though OCSD_GEN_TRC_ELEM_NO_SYNC is different from CS_ETM_TRACE_ON when output from the decoder, both indicate that the trace data is discontinuous; this patch treats OCSD_GEN_TRC_ELEM_NO_SYNC as a trace discontinuity and generates a CS_ETM_DISCONTINUITY packet for it, so cs-etm can handle the discontinuity for this case, finally it saves the last trace data for the previous trace block and restart samples for the new block.

perf cs-etm: Rename CS_ETM_TRACE_ON to CS_ETM_DISCONTINUITY

2018-12-18T15:23:59Z

TRACE_ON element is used at the beginning of trace, it also can be appeared in the middle of trace data to indicate discontinuity; for example, it's possible to see multiple TRACE_ON elements in the trace stream if the trace is being limited by address range filtering. Furthermore, except TRACE_ON element is for discontinuity, NO_SYNC and EO_TRACE also can be used to indicate discontinuity, though they are used for different scenarios for which the trace is interrupted. This patch renames sample type CS_ETM_TRACE_ON to CS_ETM_DISCONTINUITY, firstly the new name describes more closely the purpose of the packet; secondly this is a preparation for other output elements which also cause the trace discontinuity thus they can share the same one packet type.

perf cs-etm: Refactor enumeration cs_etm_sample_type

2018-12-18T15:23:59Z

The values in enumeration cs_etm_sample_type are defined with setting bit N for each packet type, this is not suggested in the usual case. This patch refactor cs_etm_sample_type by converting from bit shifting values to continuous numbers.

2018-12-18T15:23:59Z

cs_etm_decoder::trace_on is being assigned when TRACE_ON or NO_SYNC element is coming, but it is never used hence it is redundant and can be removed. So let's remove 'trace_on' field from cs_etm_decoder struct.

2018-12-17T17:59:01Z

Configuration for both encoding protocol is similar but the generated stream itself is very different, hence requiring special handling.
