The GENI framework is used by multiple drivers including UART, I2C, and
SPI. When hardware-related failures occur, each driver typically relies
on local logging, which often lacks sufficient information to determine
the exact controller state.
This series introduces a common tracing mechanism for GENI Serial Engine
debug registers and demonstrates its use in the SPI driver.
Patch 1 adds a new tracepoint that captures an extensive set of GENI SE
registers, including command state, interrupt status, FIFO state, DMA
configuration, and clock-related information.
Patch 2 hooks the tracepoint into SPI error paths so that register
snapshots are automatically generated when timeouts or transfer-related
failures occur.
Usage examples:
Enable all I2C traces:
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/tracing/events/qcom_geni_se/enable
cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_pipe
Example trace output:
