With ftrace in KHO, we are creating an ABI between old kernel and new
kernel about the state that they transfer. To ensure that we document
that state and catch any breaking change, let's add its schema to the
common devicetree bindings. This way, we can quickly reason about the
state that gets passed.

Please use scripts/get_maintainers.pl to get a list of necessary people
and lists to CC (and consider --no-git-fallback argument). It might
happen, that command when run on an older kernel, gives you outdated
entries. Therefore please be sure you base your patches on recent Linux
kernel.

Please use subject prefixes matching the subsystem. You can get them for
example with `git log --oneline -- DIRECTORY_OR_FILE` on the directory
your patch is touching.

A nit, subject: drop second/last, redundant "bindings". The
"dt-bindings" prefix is already stating that these are bindings.

Missing description. Commit msg also does not tell me much. This must
stand on its own and must describe the hardware. Whatever you have in
cover letter, does not matter, especially that you did not Cc us on it.

No, this must be false. And it goes after required:

? Do you see any of such syntax in DTS?

Hi Krzysztof!

Thanks a lot for the fast review!

Ah, this is about directly CC'ing maintainers? I was slightly picky on 
CCs since the CC list is already a bit long for this patch set, so I 
limited the CC list to mailing lists and people that I know were 
directly interested. Happy to CC you next time.

Alrighty, I'll add descriptions and make the commit message stand on its 
own.

For quick reference: KHO is a new mechanism this patch set introduces 
which allows Linux to pass arbitrary memory and metadata between kernels 
on kexec. I'm reusing FDTs to implement the hand over protocol, as 
Linux-to-Linux boot communication holds very similar properties to 
firmware-to-Linux boot communication. So this binding is not about 
hardware; it's about preserving Linux subsystem state across kexec.

For more details, please refer to the KHO documentation which is part of 
patch 7 of this patch set: 
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20231222195144.24532-2-graf@amazon.com/

Let me make it "trace-flags" to not have underscores. Could you please 
elaborate on what you mean by generic property?

Ok, making it false and adding pattern matches instead for subnodes.

I don't understand what you're referring to as redundant spaces? Double 
checking, I believe indentation is off for every line below "ftrace {". 
Is that what you're referring to? Fixing :)

I was trying to make it easy to reason to readers about 64bit numbers - 
and then potentially extend dtc to consume that new syntax. KHO DTs are 
native/little endian, so dtc already has some difficulties interpreting 
it which I'll need to fix up with patches to it eventually :). I'll 
change it to something that looks more 32bit'y for now.

Devicetree is for non-discoverable systems and their hardware, not for
passing arbitrary data between kernels. For me this does not suit DT at
all, please use other ways.

Generic property, so one without vendor prefix, is shared and common to
a group of devices.

Open DTS, some recent, arm64 like Qualcomm. Do you see spaces around <>?
Or open the coding style document... Please do not introduce different
coding style.

64bit numbers are not a problem for DTS reading. Above syntax is.

"/bits/ 64 <0x0 ...>" is what you are looking for.

Why so much data in DT rather than putting all this information into 
memory in your own data structure and DT just has a single property 
pointing to that? That's what is done with every other blob of data 
passed by kexec.

'cpu' is already a defined property of type 'phandle'. While we can have 
multiple types for a given property name, best practice is to avoid 
that. The normal way to refer to a CPU would be a phandle to the CPU 
node, but I can see that might not make sense here.

"CPU numbers" on arm64 are 64-bit values as well as they are the 
CPU's MPIDR value.

Too vague. Make the property name indicate what's in the memory.

This should go under /chosen. Show that here. Start the example with 
'/{' to do that and not add the usual boilerplate we add when extracting 
the examples.

Also, we don't need 3 examples. Just do 1 complete example here.

Hey Rob,

Thanks a lot for taking the time to review!

This is our own data structure for KHO that just happens to again 
contain a DT structure. The reason is simple: I want a unified, 
versioned, introspectable data format that is cross platform so you 
don't need to touch every architecture specific boot passing logic every 
time you want to add a tiny piece of data.

Could you please give me a few more hints here? I'm not sure I understand how :)

Here we're looking at the Linux internal CPU numbering which I believe 
does not have to use the MIDR value?

"mem" is a generic property for every node in the KHO DT that contains a 
<u64 phys_start, u64 size> array that describes memory to pass over. I 
use it in generic code so that we don't need to do memory reservations 
individually per node. That means I can't change the name here.

It can't go under /chosen because x86 doesn't have /chosen :). This is 
not a device DT, it's a KHO DT.

What exact difference does /{ and ftrace { make?

Great idea :)
