Some of the ETM management registers are not accessible via system instructions. Thus we need to filter accesses to these registers depending on the access mechanism for the ETM at runtime. The driver can cope with this for normal operation, by regular checks. But the driver also exposes them via sysfs, which now needs to be removed. So far, we have used the generic coresight sysfs helper macros to export a given device register, defining a "show" operation per register. This is not helpful to filter the files at runtime, based on the access. In order to do this dynamically, we need to filter the attributes by offsets and hard coded "show" functions doesn't make this easy. Thus, switch to extended attributes, storing the offset in the scratch space. This allows us to implement filtering based on the offset and also saves us some text size. This will be later used for determining a given attribute must be "visible" via sysfs.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
