Hotplug events are critical indicators for analyzing hardware health, and
surprise link downs can significantly impact system performance and reliability.
In addition, PCIe link speed degradation directly impacts system performance and
often indicates hardware issues such as faulty devices, physical layer problems,
or configuration errors.

This patch set add PCI hotplug and PCIe link tracepoint to help analyze PCI
hotplug events and PCIe link speed degradation.

[PATCH v14 1/3] PCI: trace: Add a generic RAS tracepoint for hotplug event

[Shuai Xue]

Hotplug events are critical indicators for analyzing hardware health,
and surprise link downs can significantly impact system performance and
reliability.

Define a new TRACING_SYSTEM named "pci", add a generic RAS tracepoint
for hotplug event to help health checks. Add enum pci_hotplug_event in
include/uapi/linux/pci.h so applications like rasdaemon can register
tracepoint event handlers for it.

The following output is generated when a device is hotplugged:

$ echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/pci/pci_hp_event/enable
$ cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_pipe
   irq/51-pciehp-88      [001] .....  1311.177459: pci_hp_event: 0000:00:02.0 slot:10, event:CARD_PRESENT

   irq/51-pciehp-88      [001] .....  1311.177566: pci_hp_event: 0000:00:02.0 slot:10, event:LINK_UP

[PATCH v14 2/3] PCI: trace: Add a RAS tracepoint to monitor link speed changes

[Shuai Xue]

PCIe link speed degradation directly impacts system performance and
often indicates hardware issues such as faulty devices, physical layer
problems, or configuration errors.

To this end, add a RAS tracepoint to monitor link speed changes,
enabling proactive health checks and diagnostic analysis.

The following output is generated when a device is hotplugged:

$ echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/pci/pcie_link_event/enable
$ cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_pipe

+========
+The PCI tracing system provides tracepoints to monitor critical hardware events
+that can impact system performance and reliability. These events normally show
+up here:
+
+	/sys/kernel/tracing/events/pci
+
+Cf. include/trace/events/pci.h for the events definitions.
+
+Available Tracepoints
+=====================
+
+pci_hp_event
+------------
+
+Monitors PCI hotplug events including card insertion/removal and link
+state changes.
+::
+
+    pci_hp_event  "%s slot:%s, event:%s\n"
+
+**Event Types**:
+
+* ``LINK_UP`` - PCIe link established
+* ``LINK_DOWN`` - PCIe link lost
+* ``CARD_PRESENT`` - Card detected in slot
+* ``CARD_NOT_PRESENT`` - Card removed from slot
+
+**Example Usage**:
+
+    # Enable the tracepoint
+    echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/pci/pci_hp_event/enable
+
+    # Monitor events (the following output is generated when a device is hotplugged)
+    cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_pipe
+       irq/51-pciehp-88      [001] .....  1311.177459: pci_hp_event: 0000:00:02.0 slot:10, event:CARD_PRESENT
+
+       irq/51-pciehp-88      [001] .....  1311.177566: pci_hp_event: 0000:00:02.0 slot:10, event:LINK_UP
+
+pcie_link_event
+---------------
+
+Monitors PCIe link speed changes and provides detailed link status information.
+::
+
+    pcie_link_event  "%s type:%d, reason:%d, cur_bus_speed:%d, max_bus_speed:%d, width:%u, flit_mode:%u, status:%s\n"
+
+**Parameters**:
+
+* ``type`` - PCIe device type (4=Root Port, etc.)
+* ``reason`` - Reason for link change:
+
+  - ``0`` - Link retrain
+  - ``1`` - Bus enumeration
+  - ``2`` - Bandwidth notification enable
+  - ``3`` - Bandwidth notification IRQ
+  - ``4`` - Hotplug event
+
+
+**Example Usage**:
+
+    # Enable the tracepoint
+    echo1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/pci/pcie_link_event/enable
+
+    # Monitor events (the following output is generated when a device is hotplugged)
+    cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_pipe
+       irq/51-pciehp-88      [001] .....   381.545386: pcie_link_event: 0000:00:02.0 type:4, reason:4, cur_bus_speed:20, max_bus_speed:23, width:1, flit_mode:0, status:DLLLA

Applied to pci/trace for v6.20, thanks!  This will be rebased after
v6.19-rc1.
