2018-05-14coresight: Remove %px for printing pcsr valueLeo Yan1-2/+2
The driver prints pcsr twice: the first time it uses specifier %px to print hexadecimal pcsr value and the second time uses specifier %pS for output kernel symbols. As suggested by Kees, using %pS should be sufficient and %px isn't necessary; the reason is if the pcsr is a kernel space address, we can easily get to know the code line from %pS format, on the other hand, if the pcsr value doesn't fall into kernel space range (e.g. if the CPU is stuck in firmware), %pS also gives out pcsr hexadecimal value. So this commit removes useless %px and update section "Output format" in the document for alignment between the code and document.

2017-10-20doc: coresight: correct usage for disabling idle statesLeo Yan1-5/+17
In the coresight CPU debug document it suggests to use 'echo' command to set latency request to /dev/cpu_dma_latency so can disable all CPU idle states, but in fact this doesn't work. This is because when the command 'echo' exits, it releases the device node's file descriptor and the kernel release function removes the QoS constraint; finally when the command 'echo' finished there have no constraint imposed on cpu_dma_latency. This patch changes to use 'exec' to access '/dev/cpu_dma_latency', the command 'exec' can avoid the file descriptor to be closed so we can keep the constraint on cpu_dma_latency. This patch also adds the info for reference docs for PM QoS and cpuidle sysfs.

2017-06-09doc: Add documentation for Coresight CPU debugLeo Yan1-0/+175
Add detailed documentation for Coresight CPU debug driver, which contains the info for driver implementation, Mike Leach excellent summary for "clock and power domain". At the end some examples on how to enable the debugging functionality are provided.
