Merge branch 'Introduce-mbox-tracepoints-for-Octeontx2'



Subbaraya Sundeep says:

====================
Introduce mbox tracepoints for Octeontx2

This patchset adds tracepoints support for mailbox.
In Octeontx2, PFs and VFs need to communicate with AF
for allocating and freeing resources. Once all the
configuration is done by AF for a PF/VF then packet I/O
can happen on PF/VF queues. When an interface
is brought up many mailbox messages are sent
to AF for initializing queues. Say a VF is brought up
then each message is sent to PF and PF forwards to
AF and response also traverses from AF to PF and then VF.
To aid debugging, tracepoints are added at places where
messages are allocated, sent and message interrupts.
Below is the trace of one of the messages from VF to AF
and AF response back to VF:

~ # echo 1 > /sys/kernel/tracing/events/rvu/enable
~ # ifconfig eth20 up
[  279.379559] eth20 NIC Link is UP 10000 Mbps Full duplex

        ifconfig-171   [000] ....   275.753345: otx2_msg_alloc: [0002:02:00.1] msg:(0x400) size:40

          <idle>-0     [003] d.h1   275.753543: otx2_msg_interrupt: [0002:02:00.0] mbox interrupt AF to PF (0x1)

          <idle>-0     [001] d.h2   275.754376: otx2_msg_interrupt: [0002:02:00.1] mbox interrupt PF to VF (0x1)

v3 changes:
 Removed EXPORT_TRACEPOINT_SYMBOLS of otx2_msg_send and otx2_msg_check
 since they are called locally only

v2 changes:
 Removed otx2_msg_err tracepoint since it is similar to devlink_hwerr
 and it will be used instead when devlink supported is added.
