From: Subbaraya Sundeep <sbha...@marvell.com> This patchset adds tracepoints support for mailbox. In Octeontx2, PFs and VFs need to communicate with AF for allocating and freeing resources. Once all the configuration is done by AF for a PF/VF then packet I/O can happen on PF/VF queues. When an interface is brought up many mailbox messages are sent to AF for initializing queues. Say a VF is brought up then each message is sent to PF and PF forwards to AF and response also traverses from AF to PF and then VF. To aid debugging, tracepoints are added at places where messages are allocated, sent and message interrupts. Below is the trace of one of the messages from VF to AF and AF response back to VF:
