Hi Qi Liu

Apologies for the delay. I have some more comments below.

This patch adds driver for UltraSoc SMB(System Memory Buffer)
device. SMB provides a way to buffer messages from ETM, and
store these CPU instructions in system memory.

SMB is developed by UltraSoc technology, which is acquired by
Siemens, and we still use "UltraSoc" to name driver.

What happens when the buffer is full ? Does the sink stop writing ?
Or does it keep on overwriting in a circular buffer mode ?
If it does keep overwriting, we would need to make sure to update the
sdb->rd_offset so that we provide the latest data (in smb_read())?
If it doesn't overwrite, I think this logic could be simpler (similar
to the tmc-et* circular buffer mode calculation.


sink will stop writing when the buffer is full, and I'll simplify this function like this:

static void smb_buffer_is_full(struct smb_drv_data *drvdata)
{
if (smb_buffer_cmp_pointer(drvdata) && !smb_buffer_is_empty(drvdata))
return true;
return false;
}

static void smb_update_data_size(struct smb_drv_data *drvdata)
{
struct smb_data_buffer *sdb = &drvdata->sdb;
u32 write_offset;

if (smb_buffer_is_full(drvdata)) {
sdb->data_size = sdb->buf_size;
return;
}

write_offset = readl(drvdata->base + SMB_LB_WR_ADDR) -
sdb->start_addr;
sdb->data_size = CIRC_CNT(write_offset, sdb->rd_offset,
sdb->buf_size);
}

+        return;
+    }
+
+    write_offset = readl(drvdata->base + SMB_LB_WR_ADDR) - sdb->start_addr;
+    sdb->data_size = CIRC_CNT(write_offset, sdb->rd_offset, sdb->buf_size);
+}

+
+    if (local_cmpxchg(&drvdata->reading, 0, 1))

I believe this must be done in the smb_read(). Please see my comment
for smb_disable()

got it, I'll change this like:

This is a bit confusing. So, we don't allow "read" when a session
is in progress (via refcnt check in smb_read()). But the flag,
drvdata->reading is set as soon as we open(). And we fail the disable
if the drvdata->reading is set. I guess, we should move the setting
of the drvdata->reading to smb_read() and set it for the first case
where we are able to read.
Otherwise we could see, something like:

CPU0: smb_enable()         # success, SMB is on
CPU1: open(/dev/usmb0) # -> set drvdata->reading
..
CPU0: smb_disable() # returns EBUSY since drvdata->reading is on.
CPU1: read(fd)      # returns EBUSY since there is a refcnt.


got it, I'll change this next version, thanks.

Are we allowed to call this when the SMB is ON ? In perf mode, we call
the update_buffer() before disabling the "sink". So, care must be taken
to stop the SMB if needed to make sure the registers are read properly.

got it, will do disable smb before smb_update_data_size.


Rest looks fine to me.
