+Coresight CPU Debug Module
+==========================
+
+ :Author: Leo Yan <leo.yan@linaro.org>
+ :Date: April 5th, 2017
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+Coresight CPU debug module is defined in ARMv8-a architecture reference manual
+(ARM DDI 0487A.k) Chapter 'Part H: External debug', the CPU can integrate
+debug module and it is mainly used for two modes: self-hosted debug and
+external debug. Usually the external debug mode is well known as the external
+debugger connects with SoC from JTAG port; on the other hand the program can
+explore debugging method which rely on self-hosted debug mode, this document
+is to focus on this part.
+
+The debug module provides sample-based profiling extension, which can be used
+to sample CPU program counter, secure state and exception level, etc; usually
+every CPU has one dedicated debug module to be connected. Based on self-hosted
+debug mechanism, Linux kernel can access these related registers from mmio
+region when the kernel panic happens. The callback notifier for kernel panic
+will dump related registers for every CPU; finally this is good for assistant
+analysis for panic.
+
+
+Implementation
+--------------
+
+- During driver registration, it uses EDDEVID and EDDEVID1 - two device ID
+ registers to decide if sample-based profiling is implemented or not. On some
+ platforms this hardware feature is fully or partially implemented; and if
+ this feature is not supported then registration will fail.
+
+- At the time this documentation was written, the debug driver mainly relies on
+ information gathered by the kernel panic callback notifier from three
+ sampling registers: EDPCSR, EDVIDSR and EDCIDSR: from EDPCSR we can get
+ program counter; EDVIDSR has information for secure state, exception level,
+ bit width, etc; EDCIDSR is context ID value which contains the sampled value
+ of CONTEXTIDR_EL1.
+
+- The driver supports a CPU running in either AArch64 or AArch32 mode. The
+ registers naming convention is a bit different between them, AArch64 uses
+ 'ED' for register prefix (ARM DDI 0487A.k, chapter H9.1) and AArch32 uses
+ 'DBG' as prefix (ARM DDI 0487A.k, chapter G5.1). The driver is unified to
+ use AArch64 naming convention.
+
+- ARMv8-a (ARM DDI 0487A.k) and ARMv7-a (ARM DDI 0406C.b) have different
+ register bits definition. So the driver consolidates two difference:
+
+ If PCSROffset=0b0000, on ARMv8-a the feature of EDPCSR is not implemented;
+ but ARMv7-a defines "PCSR samples are offset by a value that depends on the
+ instruction set state". For ARMv7-a, the driver checks furthermore if CPU
+ runs with ARM or thumb instruction set and calibrate PCSR value, the
+ detailed description for offset is in ARMv7-a ARM (ARM DDI 0406C.b) chapter
+ C11.11.34 "DBGPCSR, Program Counter Sampling Register".
+
+ If PCSROffset=0b0010, ARMv8-a defines "EDPCSR implemented, and samples have
+ no offset applied and do not sample the instruction set state in AArch32
+ state". So on ARMv8 if EDDEVID1.PCSROffset is 0b0010 and the CPU operates
+ in AArch32 state, EDPCSR is not sampled; when the CPU operates in AArch64
+ state EDPCSR is sampled and no offset are applied.
+
+
+Clock and power domain
+----------------------
+
+Before accessing debug registers, we should ensure the clock and power domain
+have been enabled properly. In ARMv8-a ARM (ARM DDI 0487A.k) chapter 'H9.1
+Debug registers', the debug registers are spread into two domains: the debug
+domain and the CPU domain.
+::
+
+ +---------------+
+ | |
+ | |
+ +----------+--+ |
+ dbg_clock -->| |**| |<-- cpu_clock
+ | Debug |**| CPU |
+ dbg_power_domain -->| |**| |<-- cpu_power_domain
+ +----------+--+ |
+ | |
+ | |
+ +---------------+
+
+For debug domain, the user uses DT binding "clocks" and "power-domains" to
+specify the corresponding clock source and power supply for the debug logic.
+The driver calls the pm_runtime_{put|get} operations as needed to handle the
+debug power domain.
+
+For CPU domain, the different SoC designs have different power management
+schemes and finally this heavily impacts external debug module. So we can
+divide into below cases:
+
+- On systems with a sane power controller which can behave correctly with
+ respect to CPU power domain, the CPU power domain can be controlled by
+ register EDPRCR in driver. The driver firstly writes bit EDPRCR.COREPURQ
+ to power up the CPU, and then writes bit EDPRCR.CORENPDRQ for emulation
+ of CPU power down. As result, this can ensure the CPU power domain is
+ powered on properly during the period when access debug related registers;
+
+- Some designs will power down an entire cluster if all CPUs on the cluster
+ are powered down - including the parts of the debug registers that should
+ remain powered in the debug power domain. The bits in EDPRCR are not
+ respected in these cases, so these designs do not support debug over
+ power down in the way that the CoreSight / Debug designers anticipated.
+ This means that even checking EDPRSR has the potential to cause a bus hang
+ if the target register is unpowered.
+
+ In this case, accessing to the debug registers while they are not powered
+ is a recipe for disaster; so we need preventing CPU low power states at boot
+ time or when user enable module at the run time. Please see chapter
+ "How to use the module" for detailed usage info for this.
+
+
+Device Tree Bindings
+--------------------
+
+See Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/arm,coresight-cpu-debug.yaml for
+details.
+
+
+How to use the module
+---------------------
+
+If you want to enable debugging functionality at boot time, you can add
+"coresight_cpu_debug.enable=1" to the kernel command line parameter.
+
+The driver also can work as module, so can enable the debugging when insmod
+module::
+
+ # insmod coresight_cpu_debug.ko debug=1
+
+When boot time or insmod module you have not enabled the debugging, the driver
+uses the debugfs file system to provide a knob to dynamically enable or disable
+debugging:
+
+To enable it, write a '1' into /sys/kernel/debug/coresight_cpu_debug/enable::
+
+ # echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/coresight_cpu_debug/enable
+
+To disable it, write a '0' into /sys/kernel/debug/coresight_cpu_debug/enable::
+
+ # echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/coresight_cpu_debug/enable
+
+As explained in chapter "Clock and power domain", if you are working on one
+platform which has idle states to power off debug logic and the power
+controller cannot work well for the request from EDPRCR, then you should
+firstly constraint CPU idle states before enable CPU debugging feature; so can
+ensure the accessing to debug logic.
+
+If you want to limit idle states at boot time, you can use "nohlt" or
+"cpuidle.off=1" in the kernel command line.
+
+At the runtime you can disable idle states with below methods:
+
+It is possible to disable CPU idle states by way of the PM QoS
+subsystem, more specifically by using the "/dev/cpu_dma_latency"
+interface (see Documentation/power/pm_qos_interface.rst for more
+details). As specified in the PM QoS documentation the requested
+parameter will stay in effect until the file descriptor is released.
+For example::
+
+ # exec 3<> /dev/cpu_dma_latency; echo 0 >&3
+ ...
+ Do some work...
+ ...
+ # exec 3<>-
+
+The same can also be done from an application program.
+
+Disable specific CPU's specific idle state from cpuidle sysfs (see
+Documentation/admin-guide/pm/cpuidle.rst)::
+
+ # echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu$cpu/cpuidle/state$state/disable
+
+Output format
