Using Configurations in sysfs
|
||||||
|
=============================
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Coresight can be controlled using sysfs. When this is in use then a configuration
|
||||||
|
can be made active for the devices that are used in the sysfs session.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In a configuration there are 'enable' and 'preset' files.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To enable a configuration for use with sysfs::
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
$ cd configurations/autofdo
|
||||||
|
$ echo 1 > enable
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This will then use any default parameter values in the features - which can be
|
||||||
|
adjusted as described above.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To use a preset<n> set of parameter values::
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
$ echo 3 > preset
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This will select preset3 for the configuration.
|
||||||
|
The valid values for preset are 0 - to deselect presets, and any value of
|
||||||
|
<n> where a preset<n> sub-directory is present.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Note that the active sysfs configuration is a global parameter, therefore
|
||||||
|
only a single configuration can be active for sysfs at any one time.
|
||||||
|
Attempting to enable a second configuration will result in an error.
|
||||||
|
Additionally, attempting to disable the configuration while in use will
|
||||||
|
also result in an error.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The use of the active configuration by sysfs is independent of the configuration
|
||||||
|
used in perf.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Creating and Loading Custom Configurations
|
||||||
|
==========================================
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Custom configurations and / or features can be dynamically loaded into the
|
||||||
|
system by using a loadable module.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
An example of a custom configuration is found in ./samples/coresight.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This creates a new configuration that uses the existing built in
|
||||||
|
strobing feature, but provides a different set of presets.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When the module is loaded, then the configuration appears in the configfs
|
||||||
|
file system and is selectable in the same way as the built in configuration
|
||||||
|
described above.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Configurations can use previously loaded features. The system will ensure
|
||||||
|
that it is not possible to unload a feature that is currently in use, by
|
||||||
|
enforcing the unload order as the strict reverse of the load order.
