[PATCH v6 00/10] coresight: Fix and improve clock usage

by Leo Yan

This series fixes and improves clock usage in the Arm CoreSight drivers. Based on the DT binding documents, the trace clock (atclk) is defined in some CoreSight modules, but support is absent. In most cases, the issue is hidden because the atclk clock is shared by multiple CoreSight modules and the clock is enabled anyway by other drivers. The first three patches address this issue. The programming clock (pclk) management in CoreSight drivers does not use the devm_XXX() variant APIs, the drivers needs to manually disable and release clocks for errors and for normal module exit. However, the drivers miss to disable clocks during module exit. The atclk may also not be disabled in CoreSight drivers during module exit. By using devm APIs, patches 04 and 05 fix clock disabling issues. Another issue is pclk might be enabled twice in init phase - once by AMBA bus driver, and again by CoreSight drivers. This is fixed in patch 06. Patches 07 to 10 refactor the clock related code. Patch 07 consolidates the clock initialization into a central place. Patch 08 polishes driver data allocation. Patch 09 makes the clock enabling sequence consistent. Patch 09 removes redundant condition checks and adds error handling in runtime PM. This series has been verified on Arm64 Juno platform, for both DT and ACPI modes. Also tested on Hikey960 for emulating static funnel and replicator without clock nodes. Mark kindly tested on imx8mp board. --- Changes in v6: - Changed to devm_clk_get_optional_enabled() for pclk, for fixing the clock initialization failure reported by Mark. - Added James test tags as no change for ACPI. - Link to v5: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250724-arm_cs_fix_clock_v4-v5-0-63f648dae021@ar… Changes in v5: - Skip clock management for ACPI devices (Suzuki). - Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250627-arm_cs_fix_clock_v4-v4-0-0ce0009c38f8@ar… Changes in v4: - Separated patch 07 into two patches, one is for clock consolidation and another is for polishing driver data allocation (Anshuman). Changes in v3: - Updated subjects for patches 04 and 05 (Anshuman). - Refined condition checking "if (dev_is_amba(dev))" in patch 07 (Anshuman). --- Leo Yan (10): coresight: tmc: Support atclk coresight: catu: Support atclk coresight: etm4x: Support atclk coresight: Appropriately disable programming clocks coresight: Appropriately disable trace bus clocks coresight: Avoid enable programming clock duplicately coresight: Consolidate clock enabling coresight: Refactor driver data allocation coresight: Make clock sequence consistent coresight: Refactor runtime PM drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-catu.c | 53 ++++++++--------- drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-catu.h | 1 + drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-core.c | 48 ++++++++++++++++ drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-cpu-debug.c | 41 +++++--------- drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-ctcu-core.c | 24 +++----- drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-etb10.c | 18 ++---- drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-etm3x-core.c | 17 ++---- drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-etm4x-core.c | 32 ++++++----- drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-etm4x.h | 4 +- drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-funnel.c | 66 ++++++++-------------- drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-replicator.c | 63 ++++++++------------- drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-stm.c | 34 +++++------ drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-tmc-core.c | 48 ++++++++-------- drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-tmc.h | 2 + drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-tpiu.c | 36 +++++------- include/linux/coresight.h | 31 +--------- 16 files changed, 228 insertions(+), 290 deletions(-) --- base-commit: a80198ba650f50d266d7fc4a6c5262df9970f9f2 change-id: 20250627-arm_cs_fix_clock_v4-e24b1e1f8920 Best regards, -- Leo Yan <leo.yan(a)arm.com>

[PATCH v2 00/28] CoreSight: Address CPU Power Management Issues

by Leo Yan

This series addresses CPU power management issues in the CoreSight drivers. For easier review, the patches are organized into two categories: o Patches 01 ~ 10 focus on CPU power management within the ETM drivers. These patches fix SMP-safe access to the mode, correct context synchronization, and refactor the CPU suspend/resume flows. o Patches 11 ~ 28 extend CPU power management to cover activated paths, including helpers, links, and sinks. These changes move CPU PM and hotplug notifiers from the ETMv4 driver into the CoreSight core layer. Summary of Changes: - Patches 01 ~ 03: Fix device mode access in the SMP mode. - Patch 04 : A minor fix for polling bit. - Patches 05 ~ 07: Improve the context synchronization based on the ETM specification (IHI0064H.b) and Arm ARM (ARM DDI 0487 L.a). - Patches 08 ~ 10: Refactor the context save/restore flow in the ETMv4 driver, in the end, the CPU PM callbacks reuse the normal enabling and disabling flows. - Patches 11 ~ 17: Move CPU PM code from ETMv4 driver to the core layer. - Patches 18 ~ 25: Enhance device mode handling in the CTI driver, distinguishes debug mode from trace modes (Perf or SysFS mode). Extend support activated paths during CPU idle. Support save and restore context for per-CPU sink (TRBE). - Patches 26 ~ 28: Move CPU hotplug notifier from the ETMv4 driver to the core layer. The full path is now managed in CPU hotplug. Verification: This series has been verified on the following platforms: - Hikey960, Juno-r0 and Juno-r2: Note that the firmware on Hikey960 and Juno-r0 is unstable. While no CoreSight failures were observed, but the CPU hotplug or CPU idle itself may fail intermittently. Juno-r2 is much stable and can pass 24+ hours stress test. - FVP RevC: Verified TRBE changes.

[PATCH] coresight: perf: Fix pointer check with IS_ERR_OR_NULL()

by Leo Yan

The returned pointer from .alloc_buffer() callback can be an error, if only checking NULL pointer the driver cannot capture errors. The driver will proceed even after failure and cause kernel panic. Change to use IS_ERR_OR_NULL() check for capture error cases.

But what is the device only has CMB ? Back when this was originally merged, we raised this question and the answer was, "Only one is supported, not both." But this sounds like that is wrong. Could we defer the "Warning" to the caller. i.e., Let the caller figure out the if the DSB size is found and predicate that on the DSB support on the TPDM.
