      coresight: add support for CPU debug module · 2227b7c7
      Leo Yan 提交于
      Coresight includes debug module and usually the module connects with CPU
      debug logic. ARMv8 architecture reference manual (ARM DDI 0487A.k) has
      description for related info in "Part H: External Debug".
      
      Chapter H7 "The Sample-based Profiling Extension" introduces several
      sampling registers, e.g. we can check program counter value with
      combined CPU exception level, secure state, etc. So this is helpful for
      analysis CPU lockup scenarios, e.g. if one CPU has run into infinite
      loop with IRQ disabled. In this case the CPU cannot switch context and
      handle any interrupt (including IPIs), as the result it cannot handle
      SMP call for stack dump.
      
      This patch is to enable coresight debug module, so firstly this driver
      is to bind apb clock for debug module and this is to ensure the debug
      module can be accessed from program or external debugger. And the driver
      uses sample-based registers for debug purpose, e.g. when system triggers
      panic, the driver will dump program counter and combined context
      registers (EDCIDSR, EDVIDSR); by parsing context registers so can
      quickly get to know CPU secure state, exception level, etc.
      
      Some of the debug module registers are located in CPU power domain, so
      this requires the CPU power domain stays on when access related debug
      registers, but the power management for CPU power domain is quite
      dependent on SoC integration for power management. For the platforms
      which with sane power controller implementations, this driver follows
      the method to set EDPRCR to try to pull the CPU out of low power state
      and then set 'no power down request' bit so the CPU has no chance to
      lose power.
      
      If the SoC has not followed up this design well for power management
      controller, the user should use the command line parameter or sysfs
      to constrain all or partial idle states to ensure the CPU power
      domain is enabled and access coresight CPU debug component safely.
