[PATCH v3 6/7] coresight: etm4x: Report whether the PMU counts the external outputs
From: Amir Ayupov
Date: Sun Oct 25 2026 - 02:43:29 EST
Some CPUs count the trace unit's external outputs as the PMU common
events TRCEXTOUT0-3 (0x4010-0x4013), which lets a configuration drive a
PMU event from trace unit events. Other CPUs, Neoverse N1 for example,
have no such events, and a feature relying on them would silently do
nothing there.
Detect at probe, on the trace unit's CPU, whether the PMU counts every
external output: the trace unit has an external output for each of its
events (caps.nr_event), and pmuv3_event_implemented() reports whether
the PMU implements TRCEXTOUTn. Only check ETE: per its specification, an
implemented TRCEXTOUTn event counts external output n, while whether that
output is also an external input is IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED.
Add a CS_CFG_MATCH_CAP_TRCEXTOUT capability match flag, set it on those
trace units, and show it in the feature's configfs 'matches' attribute.
With capabilities matched separately from the device class, a feature
that requires it only loads on those trace units.
