This is a sloppy logic analyzer using GPIOs. It comes with a script to
isolate a CPU for polling. While this is definitely not a production
level analyzer, it can be a helpful first view when remote debugging.
Read the documentation for details.

This needs CONFIG_CPUSETS=y, so you may want to document that.

No complaint, although the real files have a "cpuset."-prefix again.

Documentation/admin-guide/cgroup-v1/cpusets.rst also has the prefixes,
so I'm wondering if you have some "legacy compatibility" config option
enabled?

Yes, the search engines helped[1]. I run a minimal system, so when I
mount cpusets, it will actually mount cgroups with a default mount
option of "noprefix". But you likely run a rootfs with cgroups already,
so it gets mounted directly without "noprefix". Then, when the logic
analyzer tries to mount again, the implied default "noprefix" is
discarded.

[1] https://cgroups.vger.kernel.narkive.com/20fAhMNN/noprefix-mount-option

So, I will update the script to mount "cgroups" instead of "cpuset" and
use the newer filenames instead. This seems to be the proper way.

Thanks for testing, Geert!

Yeah, systemd on Debian has it mounted.

So, the proper solution is to use/mount 'cgroups2' instead of 'cpuset'.
But this needs more thinking and testing and, thus, another revision.
Dunno if I can make it this year, so I am probably going to miss the
next merge window after all :(

Geert, if you still want to test the PFC patch I sent, then this patch
for the script should get you going:

+=============================================
+Linux Kernel GPIO based sloppy logic analyzer
+=============================================
+
+:Author: Wolfram Sang
+
+Introduction
+============
+
+This document briefly describes how to run the GPIO based in-kernel sloppy
+logic analyzer running on an isolated CPU.
+
+The sloppy logic analyzer will utilize a few GPIO lines in input mode on a
+system to rapidly sample these digital lines, which will, if the Nyquist
+criteria is met, result in a time series log with approximate waveforms as they
+appeared on these lines. One way to use it is to analyze external traffic
+connected to these GPIO lines with wires (i.e. digital probes), acting as a
+common logic analyzer.
+
+Another feature is to snoop on on-chip peripherals if the I/O cells of these
+peripherals can be used in GPIO input mode at the same time as they are being
+used as inputs or outputs for the peripheral. That means you could e.g. snoop
+I2C traffic without any wiring (if your hardware supports it). In the pin
+control subsystem such pin controllers are called "non-strict": a certain pin
+can be used with a certain peripheral and as a GPIO input line at the same
+time.
+
+Note that this is a last resort analyzer which can be affected by latencies,
+non-deterministic code paths and non-maskable interrupts. It is called 'sloppy'
+for a reason. However, for e.g. remote development, it may be useful to get a
+first view and aid further debugging.
+
+Setup
+=====
+
+Tell the kernel which GPIOs are used as probes. For a Device Tree based system,
+you need to use the following bindings. Because these bindings are only for
+debugging, there is no official schema::
+
+    i2c-analyzer {
+            compatible = "gpio-sloppy-logic-analyzer";
+            probe-gpios = <&gpio6 21 GPIO_OPEN_DRAIN>, <&gpio6 4 GPIO_OPEN_DRAIN>;
+            probe-names = "SCL", "SDA";
+    };
+
+Note that you must provide a name for every GPIO specified. Currently a
+maximum of 8 probes are supported. 32 are likely possible but are not
+implemented yet.
+
+Usage
+=====
+
+The logic analyzer is configurable via files in debugfs. However, it is
+strongly recommended to not use them directly, but to use the script
+``tools/gpio/gpio-sloppy-logic-analyzer``. Besides checking parameters more
+extensively, it will isolate the CPU core so you will have the least
+disturbance while measuring.
+
+The script has a help option explaining the parameters. For the above DT
+snippet which analyzes an I2C bus at 400kHz on a Renesas Salvator-XS board, the
+following settings are used: The isolated CPU shall be CPU1 because it is a big
+core in a big.LITTLE setup. Because CPU1 is the default, we don't need a
+parameter. The bus speed is 400kHz. So, the sampling theorem says we need to
+sample at least at 800kHz. However, falling edges of both signals in an I2C
+start condition happen faster, so we need a higher sampling frequency, e.g.
+``-s 1500000`` for 1.5MHz. Also, we don't want to sample right away but wait
+for a start condition on an idle bus. So, we need to set a trigger to a falling
+edge on SDA while SCL stays high, i.e. ``-t 1H+2F``. Last is the duration, let
+us assume 15ms here which results in the parameter ``-d 15000``. So,
+altogether::
+
+    gpio-sloppy-logic-analyzer -s 1500000 -t 1H+2F -d 15000
+
+Note that the process will return you back to the prompt but a sub-process is
+still sampling in the background. Unless this has finished, you will not find a
+result file in the current or specified directory. For the above example, we
+will then need to trigger I2C communication::
+
+    i2cdetect -y -r <your bus number>
+
+Result is a .sr file to be consumed with PulseView or sigrok-cli from the free
+`sigrok`_ project. It is a zip file which also contains the binary sample data
+which may be consumed by other software. The filename is the logic analyzer
+instance name plus a since-epoch timestamp.

+$progname - helper script for the Linux Kernel Sloppy GPIO Logic Analyzer
+Available options:
+	-c|--cpu <n>: which CPU to isolate for sampling. Only needed once. Default <1>.
+		      Remember that a more powerful CPU gives you higher sampling speeds.
+		      Also CPU0 is not recommended as it usually does extra bookkeeping.
+	-d|--duration-us <n>: number of microseconds to sample. Overrides -n, no default value.
+	-h|--help: print this help
+	-i|--instance <str>: name of the logic analyzer in case you have multiple instances. Default
+			     to first instance found
+	-k|--kernel-debug-dir: path to the kernel debugfs mountpoint. Default: <$debugdir>
+	-n|--num_samples <n>: number of samples to acquire. Default <$numsamples>
+	-o|--output-dir <str>: directory to put the result files. Default: current dir
+	-s|--sample_freq <n>: desired sampling frequency. Might be capped if too large. Default: 1MHz.
+	-t|--trigger <str>: pattern to use as trigger. <str> consists of two-char pairs. First
+			    char is channel number starting at "1". Second char is trigger level:
+			    "L" - low; "H" - high; "R" - rising; "F" - falling
+			    These pairs can be combined with "+", so "1H+2F" triggers when probe 1
+			    is high while probe 2 has a falling edge. You can have multiple triggers
+			    combined with ",". So, "1H+2F,1H+2R" is like the example before but it
+			    waits for a rising edge on probe 2 while probe 1 is still high after the
+			    first trigger has been met.
+			    Trigger data will only be used for the next capture and then be erased.
+Examples:
+Samples $numsamples values at 1MHz with an already prepared CPU or automatically prepares CPU1 if needed,
+use the first logic analyzer instance found:
+	'$progname'
+Samples 50us at 2MHz waiting for a falling edge on channel 2. CPU and instance as above:
+	'$progname -d 50 -s 2000000 -t "2F"'
+
+Note that the process exits after checking all parameters but a sub-process still works in
+the background. The result is only available once the sub-process finishes.
+
+Result is a .sr file to be consumed with PulseView from the free Sigrok project. It is
+a zip file which also contains the binary sample data which may be consumed by others.
+The filename is the logic analyzer instance name plus a since-epoch timestamp.
