2020-10-30docs: ABI: testing: make the files compatible with ReST outputMauro Carvalho Chehab1-0/+4
Some files over there won't parse well by Sphinx. Fix them.

2020-03-24intel_th: msu: Make stopping the trace optionalAlexander Shishkin1-0/+8
Some use cases prefer to keep collecting the trace data into the last available window while the other windows are being offloaded instead of stopping the trace. In this scenario, the window switch happens automatically when the next window becomes available again. Add an option to allow this and a sysfs attribute to enable it.

2019-07-25intel_th: msu: Introduce buffer interfaceAlexander Shishkin1-1/+2
Introduces a concept of external buffers, which is a mechanism for creating trace sinks that would receive trace data from MSC buffers and transfer it elsewhere. A external buffer can implement its own window allocation/deallocation if it has to. It must provide a callback that's used to notify it when a window fills up, so that it can then start a DMA transaction from that window 'elsewhere'. This window remains in a 'locked' state and won't be used for storing new trace data until the buffer 'unlocks' it with a provided API call, at which point the window can be used again for storing trace data. This relies on a functional "last block" interrupt, so not all versions of Trace Hub can use this feature, which does not reflect on existing users.

2019-05-03intel_th: msu: Add a sysfs attribute to trigger window switchAlexander Shishkin1-0/+8
Now that we have the means to trigger a window switch for the MSU trace store, add a sysfs file to allow triggering it from userspace. Signed-off-by: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
2015-10-04intel_th: Add Memory Storage Unit driverAlexander Shishkin1-0/+33
Memory Storage Unit (MSU) is a trace output device that collects trace data to system memory. It consists of 2 independent Memory Storage Controllers (MSCs). This driver provides userspace interfaces to configure in-memory tracing parameters, such as contiguous (high-order allocation) buffer or multiblock (scatter list) buffer mode, wrapping (data overwrite) and number and sizes of windows in multiblock mode. Userspace can read the buffers via mmap()ing or read()ing of the corresponding device node.
