Please remove the coresight_device and other dependencies. You may use generic bits, CS_LOCK/UNLOCK etc. But including coresight-priv.h is not something I would prefer. It brings in unnecessary dependencies between two subsystems and I don't see any reason for using -priv.h.

The ETMv4 architecture specification shows that ETMv4 was released as a non-confidential module in May 2013 (with the confidential release even a year earlier). So ETMv4 has been a public IP for more than 12+ years, and ETMv3 has been gradually retired since then. This fix can still be applied to older kernels, but seems to me that now might be an appropriate time to consider removing the ETMv3 driver from the mainline kernel? Thanks, Leo

[PATCH v7 00/13] coresight: Update timestamp attribute to be an interval instead of bool

by James Clark

Do some cleanups then expand the timestamp format attribute from 1 bit to 4 bits for ETMv4 in Perf mode. The current interval is too high for most use cases, and particularly on the FVP the number of timestamps generated is excessive. This change not only still allows disabling or enabling timestamps, but also allows the interval to be configured. The old bit is kept deprecated and undocumented for now. There are known broken versions of Perf that don't read the format attribute positions from sysfs and instead hard code the timestamp bit. We can leave the old bit in the driver until we need the bit for another feature or enough time has passed that these old Perfs are unlikely to be used. The interval option is added as an event format attribute, rather than a Coresight config because it's something that the driver is already configuring automatically in Perf mode using any unused counter, so it's not possible to modify this with a config. Applies to coresight/next Signed-off-by: James Clark <james.clark(a)linaro.org> --- Changes in v7: - Change TRCCNTCTLRn and TRCTSCTLR register definitions to use a combined field for TYPE and SEL (EVENT) so that they can be used with the new utilities. - Add utility functions for creating resource selectors that do compile and runtime checking of the resource selector ID. - Link to v6: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251119-james-cs-syncfreq-v6-0-740d24a29e51@lina… Changes in v6: - #ifdef out format attributes for ETMv3 instead of using is_visible().
