+ETMv4 registers that they effect. Note the register names are given without
+the ‘TRC’ prefix.
+
+----
+
+:File: ``mode`` (rw)

+
+*Note:* When programming any address comparator the driver will tag the
+comparator with a type used - i.e. RANGE, SINGLE, START, STOP. Once this tag
+is set, then only the values can be changed using the same sysfs file / type
+used to program it.
+
+Thus::
+
+ % echo 0 > addr_idx ; select address comparator 0
+ % echo 0x1000 0x5000 0 > addr_range ; set address range on comparators 0, 1.
+ % echo 0x2000 > addr_start ; error as comparator 0 is a range comparator
+ % echo 2 > addr_idx ; select address comparator 2
+ % echo 0x2000 > addr_start ; this is OK as comparator 2 is unused.
+ % echo 0x3000 > addr_stop ; error as comparator 2 set as start address.
+ % echo 2 > addr_idx ; select address comparator 3
+ % echo 0x3000 > addr_stop ; this is OK
+
+To remove programming on all the comparators (and all the other hardware) use
+the reset parameter::
+
+ % echo 1 > reset
+
+
+
+The ‘mode’ sysfs parameter.
+---------------------------
+
+This is a bitfield selection parameter that sets the overall trace mode for the
+ETM. The table below describes the bits, using the defines from the driver
+source file, along with a description of the feature these represent. Many
+features are optional and therefore dependent on implementation in the
+hardware.
+
+Bit assignments shown below:-
+
+----
+
+**bit (0):**
+ ETM_MODE_EXCLUDE
+
+**description:**
+ This is the default value for the include / exclude function when
+ setting address ranges. Set 1 for exclude range. When the mode
+ parameter is set this value is applied to the currently indexed
+ address range.
+
+
+**bit (4):**
+ ETM_MODE_BB
+
+**description:**
+ Set to enable branch broadcast if supported in hardware [IDR0].
+
+
+**bit (5):**
+ ETMv4_MODE_CYCACC
+
+**description:**
+ Set to enable cycle accurate trace if supported [IDR0].
+
+
+**bit (6):**
+ ETMv4_MODE_CTXID
+
+**description:**
+ Set to enable context ID tracing if supported in hardware [IDR2].
+
+
+**bit (7):**
+ ETM_MODE_VMID
+
+**description:**
+ Set to enable virtual machine ID tracing if supported [IDR2].
+
+
+**bit (11):**
+ ETMv4_MODE_TIMESTAMP
+
+**description:**
+ Set to enable timestamp generation if supported [IDR0].
+
+
+**bit (12):**
+ ETM_MODE_RETURNSTACK
+**description:**
+ Set to enable trace return stack use if supported [IDR0].
+
+
+**bit (13-14):**
+ ETM_MODE_QELEM(val)
+
+**description:**
+ ‘val’ determines level of Q element support enabled if
+ implemented by the ETM [IDR0]
+
+
+**bit (19):**
+ ETM_MODE_ATB_TRIGGER
+
+**description:**
+ Set to enable the ATBTRIGGER bit in the event control register
+ [EVENTCTLR1] if supported [IDR5].
+
+
+**bit (20):**
+ ETM_MODE_LPOVERRIDE
+
+**description:**
+ Set to enable the LPOVERRIDE bit in the event control register
+ [EVENTCTLR1], if supported [IDR5].
+
+
+**bit (21):**
+ ETM_MODE_ISTALL_EN
+
+**description:**
+ Set to enable the ISTALL bit in the stall control register
+ [STALLCTLR]
+
+
+**bit (23):**
+ ETM_MODE_INSTPRIO
+
+**description:**
+ Set to enable the INSTPRIORITY bit in the stall control register
+ [STALLCTLR] , if supported [IDR0].
+
+
+**bit (24):**
+ ETM_MODE_NOOVERFLOW
+
+**description:**
+ Set to enable the NOOVERFLOW bit in the stall control register
+ [STALLCTLR], if supported [IDR3].
+
+
+**bit (25):**
+ ETM_MODE_TRACE_RESET
+
+**description:**
+ Set to enable the TRCRESET bit in the viewinst control register
+ [VICTLR] , if supported [IDR3].
+
+
+**bit (26):**
+ ETM_MODE_TRACE_ERR
+
+**description:**
+ Set to enable the TRCCTRL bit in the viewinst control register
+ [VICTLR].
+
+
+**bit (27):**
+ ETM_MODE_VIEWINST_STARTSTOP
+
+**description:**
+ Set the initial state value of the ViewInst start / stop logic
+ in the viewinst control register [VICTLR]
+
+
+**bit (30):**
+ ETM_MODE_EXCL_KERN
+
+**description:**
+ Set default trace setup to exclude kernel mode trace (see note a)
+
+
+**bit (31):**
+ ETM_MODE_EXCL_USER
+
+**description:**
+ Set default trace setup to exclude user space trace (see note a)
+
+----
+
+*Note a)* On startup the ETM is programmed to trace the complete address space
+using address range comparator 0. ‘mode’ bits 30 / 31 modify this setting to
+set EL exclude bits for NS state in either user space (EL0) or kernel space
+(EL1) in the address range comparator. (the default setting excludes all
+secure EL, and NS EL2)
+
+Once the reset parameter has been used, and/or custom programming has been
+implemented - using these bits will result in the EL bits for address
+comparator 0 being set in the same way.
+
+*Note b)* Bits 2-3, 8-10, 15-16, 18, 22, control features that only work with
+data trace. As A-profile data trace is architecturally prohibited in ETMv4,
+these have been omitted here. Possible uses could be where a kernel has
+support for control of R or M profile infrastructure as part of a heterogeneous
+system.
+
+Bits 17, 28-29 are unused.
