The Linux coresight drivers define the programmable ATB replicator as
Qualcomm replicator, while this is designed by ARM. This can cause
confusion to a user selecting the driver. Cleanup all references to
make it explicitly clear. This patch :
1) Replace the compatible string for the replicator :
qcom,coresight-replicator1x => arm,coresight-dynamic-replicator
2) Changes the Kconfig symbol (since this is not part of any defconfigs)
CORESIGHT_QCOM_REPLICATOR => CORESIGHT_DYNAMIC_REPLICATOR
3) Improves the help message in the Kconfig.
4) Changes the name of the driver and the file :
coresight-replicator-qcom => coresight-dynamic-replicator

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.

The TMC block can operate in 3 modes (ETB, ETF and ETR) and accessed
via two interfaces (sysFS and Perf). That makes 6 mode to cover, which
is way too much coupling for a single file.
This patch splits the original TMC driver in 2 halves, one for ETB/ETF
and another one for ETR mode. A common core is kept for functionality
common to all 3 modes.

This driver adds support for the STM CoreSight IP block, allowing any
system compoment (HW or SW) to log and aggregate messages via a
single entity.
The CoreSight STM exposes an application defined number of channels
called stimulus port. Configuration is done using entries in sysfs
and channels made available to userspace via configfs.

Perf is a well known and used tool for performance monitoring
and much more. A such it is an ideal candidate for integration
with coresight based HW tracing.

This driver manages Qualcomm CoreSight Replicator device, which
resides on the AMBA bus. Replicator has been made programmable to
allow software to turn of the replicator branch to sink that is not
being used. This avoids trace traffic to the unused/non-current sink
from causing back pressure that results in overflows at the source.

Keeping drivers related to HW tracing on ARM, i.e coresight,
under "drivers/coresight" doesn't make sense when other
architectures start rolling out technologies of the same
nature.
As such creating a new "drivers/hwtracing" directory where all
drivers of the same kind can reside, reducing namespace
pollution under "drivers/".
