[PATCH v3 04/20] coresight: etm4x: Configure tracers to emit timestamps
From: Mathieu Poirier
Date: Wed Apr 03 2019 - 23:36:06 EST
Configure timestamps to be emitted at regular intervals in the trace
stream to temporally correlate instructions executed on different CPUs.

+ * The goal of function etm4_config_timestamp_event() is to configure a

+ * reaches zero. This is done in order to get a more fine grained idea
+ * of when instructions are executed so that they can be correlated
+ * with execution on other CPUs.
+ *
+ * To do this the counter itself is configured to self reload and
+ * TRCRSCTLR1 (always true) used to get the counter to decrement. From
+ * there a resource selector is configured with the counter and the
+ * timestamp control register to use the resource selector to trigger the
+ * event that will insert a timestamp packet in the stream.
