[PATCH] coresight: etm4x: Add config to exclude kernel mode tracing

by Sai Prakash Ranjan

On production systems with ETMs enabled, it is preferred to exclude kernel mode(NS EL1) tracing for security concerns and support only userspace(NS EL0) tracing. So provide an option via kconfig to exclude kernel mode tracing if it is required. This config is disabled by default and would not affect the current configuration which has both kernel and userspace tracing enabled by default.

[RFC PATCH v3 0/9] CoreSight complex config support; ETM strobing

by Mike Leach

This patchset introduces initial concepts in CoreSight complex system configuration support. Configurations consist of 2 elements:- 1) Features - programming combinations for devices, applied to a class of device on the system (all ETMv4), or individual devices. 2) Configurations - a set of programmed features used when the named configuration is selected. Features and configurations are declared as a data table, a set of register, resource and parameter requirements. Features and configurations are loaded into the system by the virtual cs_syscfg device. This then matches features to any registered devices and loads the feature into them. Individual device classes that support feature and configuration register with cs_syscfg. Once loaded a configuration can be enabled for a specific trace run. Configurations are registered with the perf cs_etm event as entries in cs_etm/cs_config. These can be selected on the perf command line as follows:- perf record -e cs_etm/<config_name>/ ... This patch set has one pre-loaded configuration and feature. A named "strobing" feature is provided for ETMv4. A named "autofdo" configuration is provided. This configuration enables strobing on any ETM in used. Thus the command: perf record -e cs_etm/autofdo/ ... will trace the supplied application while enabling the "autofdo" configuation on each ETM as it is enabled by perf. This in turn will enable strobing for the ETM - with default parameters. Parameters can be adjusted using configfs. The sink used in the trace run will be automatically selected. A configuation can supply up to 15 of preset parameter values, which will subsitute in parameter values for any feature used in the configuration. Selection of preset values as follows perf record -e cs_etm/autofdo,preset=1/ ... (valid presets 1-N, where N is the number supplied in the configuration, not exceeding 15. preset=0 is the same as not selecting a preset.) Applies to coresight/next (5.10-rc1 base) Changes since v2: 1) Added documentation file. 2) Altered cs_syscfg driver to no longer be coresight_device based, and moved to its own custom bus to remove it from the main coresight bus. (Mathieu) 3) Added configfs support to inspect and control loaded configurations and features. Allows listing of preset values (Yabin Cui) 4) Dropped sysfs support for adjusting feature parameters on the per device basis, in favour of a single point adjustment in configfs that is pushed to all device instances. 5) Altered how the config and preset command line options are handled in perf and the drivers. (Mathieu and Suzuki). 6) Fixes for various issues and technical points (Mathieu, Yabin) Changes since v1: 1) Moved preloaded configurations and features out of individual drivers. 2) Added cs_syscfg driver to manage configurations and features. Individual drivers register with cs_syscfg indicating support for config, and provide matching information that the system uses to load features into the drivers. This allows individual drivers to be updated on an as needed basis - and removes the need to consider devices that cannot benefit from configuration - static replicators, funnels, tpiu. 3) Added perf selection of configuarations. 4) Rebased onto the coresight module loading set. To follow in future revisions / sets:- a) load of additional config and features by loadable module. b) load of additional config and features by configfs c) enhanced resource management for ETMv4 and checking features have sufficient resources to be enabled. d) ECT and CTI support for configuration and features.

[PATCH v3 00/26] coresight: Support for ETM system instructions

by Suzuki K Poulose

CoreSight ETMv4.4 obsoletes memory mapped access to ETM and mandates the system instructions for registers. This also implies that they may not be on the amba bus. Right now all the CoreSight components are accessed via memory map. Also, we have some common routines in coresight generic code driver (e.g, CS_LOCK, claim/disclaim), which assume the mmio. In order to preserve the generic algorithms at a single place and to allow dynamic switch for ETMs, this series introduces an abstraction layer for accessing a coresight device. It is designed such that the mmio access are fast tracked (i.e, without an indirect function call). This will also help us to get rid of the driver+attribute specific sysfs show/store routines and replace them with a single routine to access a given register offset (which can be embedded in the dev_ext_attribute). This is not currently implemented in the series, but can be achieved. Further we switch the generic routines to work with the abstraction. With this in place, we refactor the etm4x code a bit to allow for supporting the system instructions with very little new code. The changes also switch to using the system instructions by default even when we may have an MMIO. We use TRCDEVARCH for the detection of the ETM component, which is a standard register as per CoreSight architecture, rather than the etm specific id register TRCIDR1. This is for making sure that we are able to detect the ETM via system instructions accurately, when the the trace unit could be anything (etm or a custom trace unit). To keep the backward compatibility for any existing broken impelementation which may not implement TRCDEVARCH, we fall back to TRCIDR1. Also this covers us for the changes in the future architecture [0]. The series has been mildly tested on a model for system instructions. I would really appreciate any testing on real hardware. Applies on coresight/next. [0] https://developer.arm.com/docs/ddi0601/g/aarch64-system-registers/trcidr1 Known issues: Checkpatch failure for "coresight: etm4x: Add sysreg access helpers" : ERROR: Macros with complex values should be enclosed in parentheses #121: FILE: drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-etm4x.h:153: +#define CASE_READ(res, x) \ + case (x): { (res) = read_etm4x_sysreg_const_offset((x)); break; } I don't know how to fix that without breaking the build ! Suggestions welcome. Changes since V2: - Several fixes to the ETM register accesses. Access a register when it is present. - Add support for TRCIDR3.NUMPROCS for v4.2+ - Drop OS lock detection. Use software lock only in case of mmio. - Fix issues with the Exception level masks (Mike Leach) - Fall back to using TRCIDR1 when TRCDEVARCH is not "present" - Use a generic notion of ETM architecture (rather than using the encoding as in registers) - Fixed some checkpatch issues. - Add support for Self Hosted tracing Arm v8.4 extensions. (Mike Leach) Originally written by Jonathan, refactored and cleaned up. - Changed the dts compatible string to "arm,coresight-etm-sysreg" (Mike Leach) Changes since V1: - Flip the switch for iomem from no_iomem to io_mem in csdev_access. - Split patches for claim/disclaim and CS_LOCK/UNLOCK conversions. - Move device access initialisation for etm4x to the target CPU - Cleanup secure exception level mask handling. - Switch to use TRCDEVARCH for ETM component discovery.

[PATCH v5 0/9] perf cs-etm: Support thread stack and callchain

by Leo Yan

This patch series adds support for thread stack and callchain; this patch set depends on the instruction sample fix patch set [1]. This patch set get more complex, so before divide into small groups, I'd like to use this patch set version to include all relevant patches, hope this can give whole context for related code change. Briefly, this patch can be divided into three parts, which also can be reviewed separately for every part: Patches 01, 02 are used to fix samples for one corner case is for accessing the branch's target address and trigger an exception. Essentially, an extra branch sample is added to reflect this mediate branch between the previous branch and exception entry. Patches 03, 04, 05, 06 are coming from patch v4, which are used to support thread stack and callchain. Patches 07, 08, 09 are used to fixup for exception entry and exit. This is mainly used to fix two cases, one part is to fixup the thread stack and callchain for the case when access branch target address and trigger exception; another part is to fixup the thread stack for instruction emulation (and other single step cases). This patch set has been tested on Juno-r2 after applied on perf/core branch with latest commit 85fc95d75970 ("perf maps: Add missing unlock to maps__insert() error case"), and this patch set is also applied on top of instruction sample fix patch set [1].

[PATCHv2 0/4] coresight: etf/etb10/etr: Fix NULL pointer dereference crashes

by Sai Prakash Ranjan

There was a report of NULL pointer dereference in ETF enable path for perf CS mode with PID monitoring. It is almost 100% reproducible when the process to monitor is something very active such as chrome and with ETF as the sink and not ETR. Currently in a bid to find the pid, the owner is dereferenced via task_pid_nr() call in tmc_enable_etf_sink_perf() and with owner being NULL, we get a NULL pointer dereference. Looking at the ETR and other places in the kernel, ETF and the ETB are the only places trying to dereference the task(owner) in tmc_enable_etf_sink_perf() which is also called from the sched_in path as in the call trace. Owner(task) is NULL even in the case of ETR in tmc_enable_etr_sink_perf(), but since we cache the PID in alloc_buffer() callback and it is done as part of etm_setup_aux() when allocating buffer for ETR sink, we never dereference this NULL pointer and we are safe. So lets do the same thing with ETF and ETB and cache the PID to which the cs_buffer belongs in alloc_buffer() callback for ETF and ETB as done for ETR. This will also remove the unnecessary function calls (task_pid_nr()) in tmc_enable_etr_sink_perf() and etb_enable_perf(). In addition to this, add a check to validate event->owner before dereferencing it in ETR, ETB and ETF to avoid any possible NULL pointer dereference crashes in their corresponding alloc_buffer callbacks and check for kernel events as well. Easily reproducible running below: perf record -e cs_etm/@tmc_etf0/ -N -p <pid> Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000548 Mem abort info: ESR = 0x96000006 EC = 0x25: DABT (current EL), IL = 32 bits SET = 0, FnV = 0 EA = 0, S1PTW = 0 Data abort info: ISV = 0, ISS = 0x00000006 CM = 0, WnR = 0 <snip>...

GDB: etm traces decoding and breakpoints for arm targets

by Zied Guermazi

hi, while testing the implementation in gdb of branch tracing on arm processors using etm, I faced the the situation where a breakpoint was set, was hit and then the execution of the program was continued. While decoding generated traces, I got the address of the breakpoint (0x400552) executed twice, and then the following address (0x400554) also executed twice. the instruction at (0x400554) is a BL ( a function call) and the second execution corrupts the function history. here is a dump of generated trace elements --------------------------------- trace_chan_id: 18 isa: CS_ETM_ISA_T32 start addr = 0x400552 end addr = 0x400554 instructions count = 1 last_i_type: OCSD_INSTR_OTHER last_i_subtype: OCSD_S_INSTR_NONE last instruction was executed last instruction size: 2 --------------------------------- trace_chan_id: 18 isa: CS_ETM_ISA_T32 start addr = 0x400552 end addr = 0x400554 instructions count = 1 last_i_type: OCSD_INSTR_OTHER last_i_subtype: OCSD_S_INSTR_NONE last instruction was executed last instruction size: 2 --------------------------------- trace_chan_id: 18 isa: CS_ETM_ISA_T32 start addr = 0x400554 end addr = 0x400558 instructions count = 1 last_i_type: OCSD_INSTR_BR last_i_subtype: OCSD_S_INSTR_BR_LINK last instruction was executed last instruction size: 4 --------------------------------- trace_chan_id: 18 isa: CS_ETM_ISA_T32 start addr = 0x400554 end addr = 0x400558 instructions count = 1 last_i_type: OCSD_INSTR_BR last_i_subtype: OCSD_S_INSTR_BR_LINK last instruction was executed last instruction size: 4 the explanation I have for this behavior is that : -when setting the software breakpoint, the memory content of the instruction (at 0x400552) was altered to the instruction BKPT, -when the breakpoint was hit, the original opcode was set at (0x400552) and a BKPT was set to the next instruction address (0x400554), then the execution was continued -when the second breakpoint (0x400554) was hit, the a BKPT opcode was set at (0x400552) and the original opcode was set at (0x400554) then the execution was continued I am using the function "int target_read_code (CORE_ADDR memaddr, gdb_byte *myaddr, ssize_t len)" to give program memory content to the decoder. so the collected etm traces are correct, but, as memory was altered in between, the decoder is "cheated". I need to identify the re-execution of code due to breakpoint handling, and roll back its impact on etm decoding. is there a mean to get the actual content of program memory including patched addresses? is there a means of getting the history of patched addresses during the debugging of a program? what is the type and subtype of a BKPT instruction in a decoded trace elements? do you have any other idea for handling this situation? I am attaching the source code of the program as well as the disassembled binary. the code was compiled as an application running on linux on an ARMv7 A (STM32MP157 SoC). the breakpoint was set at line 43 in the source code (line 238 in the disassembled code) Kind Regards Zied Guermazi

[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.9 075/147] coresight: Make sysfs functional on topologies with per core sink

by Sasha Levin

From: Linu Cherian <lcherian(a)marvell.com> [ Upstream commit 6d578258b955fc8888e1bbd9a8fefe7b10065a84 ] Coresight driver assumes sink is common across all the ETMs, and tries to build a path between ETM and the first enabled sink found using bus based search. This breaks sysFS usage on implementations that has multiple per core sinks in enabled state. To fix this, coresight_get_enabled_sink API is updated to do a connection based search starting from the given source, instead of bus based search. With sink selection using sysfs depecrated for perf interface, provision for reset is removed as well in this API.
