[PATCH v2] coresight: trbe: Hide enable_sink sysfs file

by James Clark

TRBE doesn't support sysfs mode, but the enable_sink file can still be successfully written to enable the device, and only attempting to enable the source would later fail. Avoid misleading users by adding a flag that devices can use to hide either the enable_sink or enable_source files, and set it for TRBE. Don't set it for ETE as it's possible that ETE could appear on the legacy bus and work with sysfs, and writing to enable_source already reports EINVAL if the device doesn't support sysfs mode. Signed-off-by: James Clark <james.clark(a)linaro.org> --- Changes in v2: - Re-use CORESIGHT_DESC flags in csdev instead of converting to bool. - Hide all remaining attrs after label instead of only source and sink attrs as there aren't any others anyway (Leo). - Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260507-james-cs-hide-trbe-enable-v1-1-b4e40439f… --- drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-core.c | 1 + drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-sysfs.c | 15 +++++++++------ drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-trbe.c | 7 +++++++ include/linux/coresight.h | 4 ++++ 4 files changed, 21 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-core.c b/drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-core.c index f7b1308a759c..a0c098980096 100644 --- a/drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-core.c +++ b/drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-core.c @@ -1543,6 +1543,7 @@ coresight_init_device(struct coresight_desc *desc) csdev->ops = desc->ops; csdev->access = desc->access; csdev->orphan = true; + csdev->flags = desc->flags; if (desc->flags & CORESIGHT_DESC_CPU_BOUND) { csdev->cpu = desc->cpu; diff --git a/drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-sysfs.c b/drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-sysfs.c index 4b010f8bc4c0..75000fe64fda 100644 --- a/drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-sysfs.c +++ b/drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-sysfs.c @@ -346,16 +346,19 @@ static ssize_t label_show(struct device *dev, } static DEVICE_ATTR_RO(label); -static umode_t label_is_visible(struct kobject *kobj, - struct attribute *attr, int n) +static umode_t coresight_attr_is_visible(struct kobject *kobj, + struct attribute *attr, int n) { struct device *dev = kobj_to_dev(kobj); + struct coresight_device *csdev = to_coresight_device(dev); if (attr == &dev_attr_label.attr) { if (fwnode_property_present(dev_fwnode(dev), "label")) return attr->mode; else return 0; + } else if (csdev->flags & CORESIGHT_DESC_NO_SYSFS_MODE) { + return 0; } return attr->mode; @@ -369,7 +372,7 @@ static struct attribute *coresight_sink_attrs[] = { static struct attribute_group coresight_sink_group = { .attrs = coresight_sink_attrs, - .is_visible = label_is_visible, + .is_visible = coresight_attr_is_visible, }; __ATTRIBUTE_GROUPS(coresight_sink); @@ -381,7 +384,7 @@ static struct attribute *coresight_source_attrs[] = { static struct attribute_group coresight_source_group = { .attrs = coresight_source_attrs, - .is_visible = label_is_visible, + .is_visible = coresight_attr_is_visible, }; __ATTRIBUTE_GROUPS(coresight_source); @@ -392,7 +395,7 @@ static struct attribute *coresight_link_attrs[] = { static struct attribute_group coresight_link_group = { .attrs = coresight_link_attrs, - .is_visible = label_is_visible, + .is_visible = coresight_attr_is_visible, }; __ATTRIBUTE_GROUPS(coresight_link); @@ -403,7 +406,7 @@ static struct attribute *coresight_helper_attrs[] = { static struct attribute_group coresight_helper_group = { .attrs = coresight_helper_attrs, - .is_visible = label_is_visible, + .is_visible = coresight_attr_is_visible, }; __ATTRIBUTE_GROUPS(coresight_helper); diff --git a/drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-trbe.c b/drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-trbe.c index c7cbca45f2de..eca8e13a9744 100644 --- a/drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-trbe.c +++ b/drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-trbe.c @@ -1348,6 +1348,13 @@ static void arm_trbe_register_coresight_cpu(struct trbe_drvdata *drvdata, int cp desc.dev = dev; desc.cpu = cpu; desc.flags = CORESIGHT_DESC_CPU_BOUND; + /* + * ETE isn't connected to TRBE with a link like other Coresight devices + * and the TRBE driver has been written to always assume Perf mode, so + * Prevent sysfs from being used. + */ + desc.flags |= CORESIGHT_DESC_NO_SYSFS_MODE; + trbe_csdev = coresight_register(&desc); if (IS_ERR(trbe_csdev)) goto cpu_clear; diff --git a/include/linux/coresight.h b/include/linux/coresight.h index add0579cad88..6cd1d01b843b 100644 --- a/include/linux/coresight.h +++ b/include/linux/coresight.h @@ -142,6 +142,8 @@ struct csdev_access { }) #define CORESIGHT_DESC_CPU_BOUND BIT(0) +/* Device can't be activated from sysfs, only via Perf. */ +#define CORESIGHT_DESC_NO_SYSFS_MODE BIT(1) /** * struct coresight_desc - description of a component required from drivers @@ -310,6 +312,8 @@ struct coresight_device { struct list_head config_csdev_list; raw_spinlock_t cscfg_csdev_lock; void *active_cscfg_ctxt; + /* CORESIGHT_DESC_[x] flags */ + u32 flags; }; /* --- base-commit: c8eb4a8dd259fb2b215da32764fa8c6c76519896 change-id: 20260506-james-cs-hide-trbe-enable-3c8d784e72d8 Best regards, -- James Clark <james.clark(a)linaro.org>

[PATCH v9 00/13] fix several inconsistencies with sysfs configuration in etmX

by Yeoreum Yun

The current ETMx configuration via sysfs can lead to the following inconsistencies: - If a configuration is modified via sysfs while a perf session is active, the running configuration may differ between before a sched-out and after a subsequent sched-in. - If a perf session and sysfs session tries to enable concurrently, configuration from configfs could be corrupted (etm4). - There is chance to corrupt drvdata->config if perf session tries to enabled among handling cscfg_csdev_disable_active_config() in etm4_disable_sysfs() (etm4). To resolve these inconsistencies, the configuration should be separated into: - active_config, which is applied configuration for the current session - config, which stores the settings configured via sysfs. and apply configuration from configfs after taking a mode. Also, This patch set includes some small fixes: - missing trace id release in etm4x. - underflow issue for nrseqstate. - wrong check in etm4x_sspcicrn_present(). - missing call of cscfg_csdev_disable_active_config() This patch based on coresight tree's next Patch History ============= from v8 to v9: - add feat_csdev_lock guard interface. - set feat_csdev->drv_spinlock as NULL for etmv4_drvdata. - https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260629090007.1718746-1-yeoreum.yun@arm.com/ from v7 to v8: - accept @Leo Yan' suggestion to handle error. - small minor fixes following @Suzuki' suggestion. - https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260519154812.254884-1-yeoreum.yun@arm.com/ from v6 to v7: - rebase on coresight/next - add ETM_MAX_SEQ_TRANSITIONS define - remove redundant patch relavent cpu-hotplug as coresight-pm patch merged. - https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260422132203.977549-1-yeoreum.yun@arm.com/ from v5 to v6: - fix missing of calling cscfg_csdev_disable_active_config() - add rb & fixes tags. - add ss_status field in etm4x_drvdata to expose STATUS and PENDING bits. - https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260415165528.3369607-1-yeoreum.yun@arm.com/ from v4 to v5: - add rb-tag. - fix underflow issue for nrseqstate. - fix wrong check in etm4_sspcicrn_present(). - remove redundant fields on etmv4_save_state. - rename caps->ss_status to ss_cmp. - fix wrong location of etm4_release_trace_id. - https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260413142003.3549310-1-yeoreum.yun@arm.com/ from v3 to v4: - change etm_drvdata->spinlock type to raw_spin_lock_t - remove redundant call etmX_enable_hw() with starting_cpu() callsback. - fix missing trace id release. - add missing docs. - https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260412175506.412301-1-yeoreum.yun@arm.com/ from v2 to v3: - fix build error for etm3x. - fix checkpatch warning. - https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260410074310.2693385-1-yeoreum.yun@arm.com/ from v1 to v2 - rebased to v7.0-rc7. - introduce etmX_caps structure to save etmX's capabilities. - remove ss_status from etmv4_config. - modify active_config after taking a mode (perf/sysfs). - https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260317181705.2456271-1-yeoreum.yun@arm.com/ Yeoreum Yun (13): coresight: etm4x: fix wrong check of etm4x_sspcicrn_present() coresight: etm4x: fix underflow for usage of (nrseqstate - 1) coresight: etm4x: fix leaked trace id coresight: etm4x: fix inconsistencies with sysfs configuration coresight: etm4x: missing cscfg_csdev_disable_active_config() in perf enable coresight: etm3x: fix inconsistencies with sysfs configuration coresight: etm3x: change drvdata->spinlock type to raw_spin_lock_t coresight: etm3x: remove redundant cpu online check on etm_enable_sysfs() coresight: etm4x: introduce struct etm4_caps coresight: etm4x: exclude ss_status from drvdata->config coresight: etm4x: remove s_ex_level from config coresight: etm4x: remove redundant fields in etmv4_save_state coresight: etm3x: introduce struct etm_caps .../hwtracing/coresight/coresight-config.c | 18 +- .../hwtracing/coresight/coresight-config.h | 26 + drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-etm.h | 48 +- .../coresight/coresight-etm3x-core.c | 96 ++-- .../coresight/coresight-etm3x-sysfs.c | 159 +++--- .../hwtracing/coresight/coresight-etm4x-cfg.c | 16 +- .../coresight/coresight-etm4x-core.c | 454 ++++++++++-------- .../coresight/coresight-etm4x-sysfs.c | 204 ++++---- drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-etm4x.h | 204 ++++---- 9 files changed, 682 insertions(+), 543 deletions(-) base-commit: 98495b5a4d77dd22e106f462b76e1093a55b29a7 -- LEVI:{C3F47F37-75D8-414A-A8BA-3980EC8A46D7}

[PATCH v3 0/8] coresight: Prevent per-thread events from sharing a sink

by James Clark

Concurrent per-thread events results in a WARN on N1SDP which leads to the realization that per-thread events shouldn't have been sharing sinks in the first place. This slips through because different per-thread events will have the same PID if owned by the same process, and we only check the PID and nothing else. That results in unexpected WARNs because it looks like we assumed it couldn't happen (although exclusive PMU rules allow it). But even if it was supported it would result in trace from the wrong thread in another event's per-thread buffer, so we should disallow it. Fix it everywhere the same PID checking logic was copy pasted. Then the PIDs can be dropped from a few structs as they are now unused. Signed-off-by: James Clark <james.clark(a)linaro.org> --- Changes in v3: - Storing and accessing event owners at runtime causes problems due to various scenarios of: events (and sibling events) exiting, children inheriting event FDs, PID reuse, CPU affine events that also have a target process set but different inherit settings. Fix it by creating a session ID in etm_setup_aux() and holding the references in it for the duration of the whole session.

From that point on, observing the device mode as enabled guarantees that the associated data structures can be accessed safely. I would leave this to maintainers for a call in case any concerns on lifetime management.

Fair point. coresight_cpu_get_active_path() can safely access the source while holding coresight_dev_lock.

I am also not sure about lifetime of coresight_device::path. coresight_device::path is a runtime pointer that is valid only while the device is enabled. Since both the path and the device mode are updated atomically on the local CPU, observing the device mode as enabled guarantees that the corresponding coresight_device::path is valid. Thanks, Leo

[PATCH] perf cs-etm: Avoid truncating AUX buffer sizes to int

by Leo Yan

cs_etm__get_trace() returns an int, but it used to return etmq->buf_len on success. That value comes from auxtrace_buffer::size, which is a size_t. For a large AUX trace block, returning the byte count through an int can overflow and make a valid buffer look like a negative error. The callers do not need the actual byte count from cs_etm__get_trace(). The buffer length is already stored in the etmq->buf_len. The callers only need to distinguish three states: < 0: error = 0: no more AUX buffers > 0: data is available Make cs_etm__get_trace() return 0 for all non-error cases and use etmq->buf_len to indicate whether a new buffer was found. Then make cs_etm__get_data_block() return 1 whenever data is available, instead of returning the buffer length. Also refactor cs_etm__get_data_block() to make its return value semantics clearer.
