2018-02-16perf inject: Emit instruction records on ETM trace discontinuityRobert Walker
There may be discontinuities in the ETM trace stream due to overflows or ETM configuration for selective trace. This patch emits an instruction sample with the pending branch stack when a TRACE ON packet occurs indicating a discontinuity in the trace data. A new packet type CS_ETM_TRACE_ON is added, which is emitted by the low level decoder when a TRACE ON occurs. The higher level decoder flushes the branch stack when this packet is emitted.

2018-02-16perf cs-etm: Inject capabilitity for CoreSight tracesRobert Walker
Added user space perf functionality to translate CoreSight traces into instruction events with branch stack. To invoke the new functionality, use the perf inject tool with --itrace=il. For example, to translate the ETM trace from perf.data into last branch records in a new inj.data file: $ perf inject --itrace=i100000il128 -i perf.data -o perf.data.new The 'i' parameter to itrace generates periodic instruction events. The period between instruction events can be specified as a number of instructions suffixed by i (default 100000). The parameter to 'l' specifies the number of entries in the branch stack attached to instruction events. The 'b' parameter to itrace generates events on taken branches. This patch also fixes the contents of the branch events used in perf report - previously branch events were generated for each contiguous range of instructions executed. These are fixed to generate branch events between the last address of a range ending in an executed branch instruction and the start address of the next range. Based on patches by Sebastian Pop <s.pop@samsung.com> with additional fixes and support for specifying the instruction period.

2018-01-25perf tools: Add functionality to communicate with the openCSD decoderMathieu Poirier
This patch adds functions to communicate with the openCSD trace decoder, more specifically to access program memory, fetch trace packets and reset the decoder.

2018-01-25perf tools: Add decoder mechanic to support dumping trace dataMathieu Poirier
This patch adds the required interface to the openCSD library to support dumping CoreSight trace packet using the "report --dump" command. The information conveyed is related to the type of packets gathered by a trace session rather than full decoding.
