perf cs-etm: Enable itrace option 'T'
Prior to Armv8.4, the feature FEAT_TRF is not supported by Arm CPUs. Consequently, the sysfs node 'ts_source' will not be set as 1 by the CoreSight ETM driver. On the other hand, the perf tool relies on the 'ts_source' node to determine whether the kernel timestamp is traced. Since the 'ts_source' is not set for Arm CPUs prior to Armv8.4, platforms in this case cannot utilize the traced timestamp as the kernel time. This patch enables the 'T' itrace option, which forcibly utilizes the traced timestamp as the kernel time. If users are aware that their working platform's Arm CoreSight shares the same counter with the kernel time, they can specify 'T' option to decode the traced timestamp as the kernel time. An usage example is: # perf record -e cs_etm// -- test_program # perf script --itrace=i10ibT # perf report --itrace=i10ibT Reviewed-by: James Clark <james.clark@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Leo Yan <leo.yan@linaro.org> Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: John Garry <john.g.garry@oracle.com> Cc: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Cc: Mike Leach <mike.leach@linaro.org> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Suzuki Poulouse <suzuki.poulose@arm.com> Cc: Will Deacon <will@kernel.org> Cc: coresight@lists.linaro.org Cc: linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231014074513.1668000-3-leo.yan@linaro.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
