[PATCH v5 2/9] doc: Add documentation for Coresight CPU debug

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Update kernel-parameters.txt to add two new parameters:

- coresight_cpu_debug.enable is a knob to enable debugging at boot time.
- coresight_cpu_debug.idle_constraint is used to constrain idle states
  to ensure Coresight CPU debug component can be accessible.

+	coresight_cpu_debug.enable

+			Format: <bool>
+			Enable/disable the CPU sampling based debugging.

+	coresight_cpu_debug.idle_constraint
+			[ARM,ARM64]
+			Format: <int>
+			Some platforms have designed the idle states to disable
+			CPU power domain and need manually set constraint so
+			can access coresight CPU debug component safely. Setting
+			this parameter for latency requirement in
+			microseconds, finally we can constraint all or partial
+			idle states to ensure the CPU power domain is enabled.
+			Default is -1, which means no limiation to CPU idle
+			states; if set to 0, this means disabling all idle
+			states; user can choose other platform dependent values
+			so can disable specific idle states for the platform.
+
 	cpuidle.off=1	[CPU_IDLE]
 			disable the cpuidle sub-system
