[PATCH 0/6] coresight: Add format attribute for setting the timestamp interval

[James Clark <james.clark@linaro.org>]

Do some cleanups then add a new format attribute to set the timestamp
interval for ETMv4 in Perf mode. The current interval is too high for
most use cases, and particularly on the FVP the number of timestamps
generated is excessive.

Although it would be good to make only SYNC timestamps the default and
have counter timestamps opt-in, this would be a breaking change. We
can always do that later, or disable counter timestamps from Perf.

This is added as an event format attribute, rather than a Coresight
config because it's something that the driver is already configuring
automatically in Perf mode with any unused counter, so it's not possible
to modify this with a config.

Applies to coresight/next
