		Introduction
		============

		This module will be used to log the events by any module/driver which
		enables Inter Processor Communication (IPC). Some of the IPC drivers such
		as Message Routers, Multiplexers etc. which act as a passive pipe need
		some mechanism to log their events. Since all such IPC drivers handle a
		large amount of traffic/events, using kernel logs renders kernel logs
		unusable by other drivers and also degrades the performance of IPC
		drivers. This new module will help in logging such high frequency IPC
		driver events while keeping the standard kernel logging mechanism
		intact.

		Hardware description
		====================

		This module does not drive any hardware resource and will only use the
		kernel memory-space to log the events.

		Software description
		====================

		Design Goals
		------------
		This module is designed to
		* support logging for drivers handling large amount of
		traffic/events
		* define & differentiate events/logs from different drivers
		* support both id-based and stream-based logging
		* support extracting the logs from both live target & memory dump

		IPC Log Context
		----------------

		This module will support logging by multiple drivers. To differentiate
		between the multiple drivers that are using this logging mechanism, each
		driver will be assigned a unique context by this module. Associated with
		each context is the logging space, dynamically allocated from the kernel
		memory-space, specific to that context so that the events logged using that
		context will not interfere with other contexts.

		Event Logging
		--------------

		Every event will be logged as a <Type: Size: Value> combination. Type
		field identifies the type of the event that is logged. Size field represents
		the size of the log information. Value field represents the actual
		information being logged. This approach will support both id-based logging
		and stream-based logging. This approach will also support logging sub-events
		of an event. This module will provide helper routines to encode/decode the
		logs to/from this format.

		Encode Context
		---------------

		Encode context is a temporary storage space that will be used by the client
		drivers to log the events in <Type: Size: Value> format. The client drivers
		will perform an encode start operation to initialize the encode context
		data structure. Then the client drivers will log their events into the
		encode context. Upon completion of event logging, the client drivers will
		perform an encode end operation to finalize the encode context data
		structure to be logged. Then this updated encode context data structure
		will be written into the client driver's IPC Log Context. The maximum
		event log size will be defined as 256 bytes.

		Log Space
		----------

		Each context (Figure 1) has an associated log space, which is dynamically
		allocated from the kernel memory-space. The log space is organized as a list of
		1 or more kernel memory pages. Each page (Figure 2) contains header information
		which is used to differentiate the log kernel page from the other kernel pages.

		Figure 2 - Log Page Structure

		In addition to extracting logs at runtime through DebugFS, IPC Logging has been
		designed to allow extraction of logs from a memory dump. The magic numbers,
		timestamps, and context offset are all added to support the memory-dump
		extraction use case.

		Design
		======

		Alternate solutions discussed include using kernel & SMEM logs which are
		limited in size and hence using them render them unusable by other drivers.
		Also kernel logging into serial console is slowing down the performance of
		the drivers by multiple times and sometimes lead to APPs watchdog bite.

		Power Management
		================

		Not-Applicable

		SMP/multi-core
		==============

		This module uses spinlocks & mutexes to handle multi-core safety.

		Security
		========

		Not-Applicable

		Performance
		===========

		This logging mechanism, based on experimental data, is not expected to
		cause a significant performance degradation. Under worst case, it can
		cause 1 - 2 percent degradation in the throughput of the IPC Drivers.

		Interface
		=========

		Exported Data Structures

		struct tsv_header hdr;
		char buff[MAX_MSG_SIZE];

		Dependencies
		============

		This module will partially depend on CONFIG_DEBUGFS, in order to dump the
		logs through debugfs. If CONFIG_DEBUGFS is disabled, the above mentioned
		helper functions will perform no operation and return appropriate error
		code if the return value is non void. Under such circumstances the logs can
		only be extracted through the memory dump.
