The value holds a superset of the possible "allowed" configurations. We do this to avoid setting the TRFCR_CX everytime depending on the kernel EL (only possible from EL2). So we initialize the field with value of TRCR_ELx with all the ELs enabled. This can be filtered later by the driver accordingly. This will also serve as marker to check the availability of the feature.

[PATCH v9 00/10] CoreSight configuration management; ETM strobing

by Mike Leach

This patchset introduces initial concepts in CoreSight system configuration management support. to allow more detailed and complex programming to be applied to CoreSight systems during trace capture. 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/events. 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 configuration 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 & tested against coresight/next (5.13-rc6 base) Changes since v8: Patch 0003 - altered spinlock to use irq versions. Moved use of config enabled flag. Patch 0005 - dropped in_enable flag. Use config enabled flag within spinlock guards. Changes since v7: Fixed kernel test robot issue - config with CORESIGHT=y & CONFIGFS_FS=m causes build error. Altered CORESIGHT config to select CONFIGFS_FS. Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp(a)intel.com> Replaced mutex use to protect loaded config lists in coresight devices with per device spinlock to remove issue when disable called in interrupt context. Reported-by: Branislav Rankov <branislav.rankov(a)arm.com> Changes since v6: Fixed kernel test robot issues- Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp(a)intel.com> Changes since v5: 1) Fix code style issues from auto-build reports, as Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp(a)intel.com> 2) Update comments to get consistent docs for API functions. 3) remove unused #define from autofdo example. 4) fix perf code style issues from patch 4 (Mathieu) 5) fix configfs code style issues from patch 9. (Mathieu) Changes since v4: (based on comments from Matthieu and Suzuki). No large functional changes - primarily code improvements and naming schema. 1) Updated entire set to ensure a consistent naming scheme was used for variables and struct members that refer to the key objects in the system. Suffixes _desc used for all references to feature and configuraion descriptors, suffix _csdev used for all references to load feature and configs in the csdev instances. (Mathieu & Suzuki). 2) Dropped the 'configurations' sub dir in cs_etm perf directories as superfluous with the configfs containing the same information. (Mathieu). 3) Simplified perf handling code (suzuki) 4) Multiple simplifications and improvements for code readability (Matthieu and Suzuki) Changes since v3: (Primarily based on comments from Matthieu) 1) Locking mechanisms simplified. 2) Removed the possibility to enable features independently from configurations.Only configurations can be enabled now. Simplifies programming logic. 3) Configuration now uses an activate->enable mechanism. This means that perf will activate a selected configuration at the start of a session (during setup_aux), and disable at the end of a session (around free_aux) The active configuration and associated features will be programmed into the CoreSight device instances when they are enabled. This locks the configuration into the system while in use. Parameters cannot be altered while this is in place. This mechanism will be extended in future for dynamic load / unload of configurations to prevent removal while in use. 4) Removed the custom bus / driver as un-necessary. A single device is registered to own perf fs elements and configfs. 5) Various other minor issues addressed. 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] opencsd: Remove noisy printf

by James Clark

This printf is the only occurrence outside of the tests. When using OpenCSD with perf in TUI mode, printfs can corrupt the UI and make perf's own error messages hard to see. The proper way to print would be pr_warning() or ui__warning() which aren't available here. I don't see an easy way of making this work, and I don't think this printf is that useful either, so remove it.

[PATCH v2 00/10] coresight: TRBE and Self-Hosted trace fixes

by Suzuki K Poulose

This series fixes the following issues with the TRBE and Self-Hosted trace for CoreSight. The Self-hosted trace filter control registers are now save-restored across CPU PM event. And more importantly the Trace Filtering is now used to control per ETM session (rather than allowing the trace throughout the life time of the system). i.e, ETM configuration of the given run is used to enforce trace filtering (TRFCR) along with the Trace Exclusion controls in TRCVICTLR. For the TRBE, we were using the TRUNCATED flag in the AUX buffer on every IRQ to indicate that we may have lost a few bytes of trace. But this causes the event to be disabled until the userspace re-enables it back, even when there is space left in the ring buffer. To make things worse, we were restarting the AUX handle, which would soon be disabled, potentially creating 0 sized records (without truncation), which the perf tool tends to ignore. This might cause the event to be disabled permanently. Also, sometimes we leave the buffer TRUNCATED, but delay the closing of the handle to event schedule out, which could cause significant black out in the trace capture. This was reported by Tamas Zsoldos. This series removes the use of TRUNCATED flag for every IRQ. Instead, it is only used if we really run out of space in the buffer. And also we make sure the "handle" is closed immediately on TRUNCATED case, which triggers the userspace to take action. The core perf layer has been hardened to handle this case where a "handle" is closed out. Finally, we make sure that the CPU trace is prohibited, when the TRBE is left disabled. The ETE/ETM driver will program the Trace Filtering appropriately since we do this dynamically now with the first half of the series.

[PATCH v8 00/10] CoreSight configuration management; ETM strobing

by Mike Leach

This patchset introduces initial concepts in CoreSight system configuration management support. to allow more detailed and complex programming to be applied to CoreSight systems during trace capture. 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/events. 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 configuration 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 & tested against coresight/next (5.13-rc6 base) Changes since v7: Fixed kernel test robot issue - config with CORESIGHT=y & CONFIGFS_FS=m causes build error. Altered CORESIGHT config to select CONFIGFS_FS. Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp(a)intel.com> Replaced mutex use to protect loaded config lists in coresight devices with per device spinlock to remove issue when disable called in interrupt context. Reported-by: Branislav Rankov <branislav.rankov(a)arm.com> Changes since v6: Fixed kernel test robot issues- Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp(a)intel.com> Changes since v5: 1) Fix code style issues from auto-build reports, as Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp(a)intel.com> 2) Update comments to get consistent docs for API functions. 3) remove unused #define from autofdo example. 4) fix perf code style issues from patch 4 (Mathieu) 5) fix configfs code style issues from patch 9. (Mathieu) Changes since v4: (based on comments from Matthieu and Suzuki). No large functional changes - primarily code improvements and naming schema. 1) Updated entire set to ensure a consistent naming scheme was used for variables and struct members that refer to the key objects in the system. Suffixes _desc used for all references to feature and configuraion descriptors, suffix _csdev used for all references to load feature and configs in the csdev instances. (Mathieu & Suzuki). 2) Dropped the 'configurations' sub dir in cs_etm perf directories as superfluous with the configfs containing the same information. (Mathieu). 3) Simplified perf handling code (suzuki) 4) Multiple simplifications and improvements for code readability (Matthieu and Suzuki) Changes since v3: (Primarily based on comments from Matthieu) 1) Locking mechanisms simplified. 2) Removed the possibility to enable features independently from configurations.Only configurations can be enabled now. Simplifies programming logic. 3) Configuration now uses an activate->enable mechanism. This means that perf will activate a selected configuration at the start of a session (during setup_aux), and disable at the end of a session (around free_aux) The active configuration and associated features will be programmed into the CoreSight device instances when they are enabled. This locks the configuration into the system while in use. Parameters cannot be altered while this is in place. This mechanism will be extended in future for dynamic load / unload of configurations to prevent removal while in use. 4) Removed the custom bus / driver as un-necessary. A single device is registered to own perf fs elements and configfs. 5) Various other minor issues addressed. 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.

Thanks. Thanks for the suggestion and confirmation, Russell & Catalin. If so, I will implement the weak functions for compat_auxtrace_mmap__{read_head|write_tail}; and write the arm/arm64 specific functions with using LDRD/STRD instructions. For better patches organization, I will use a separate patch set for enabling the compat functions (in particular patches 10, 11/11) in the next spin. Thanks, Leo

So, I wasn't suggesting to add this info to the perf.data file header, just to the in-memory 'struct perf_env'. And also we should avoid unconditionally initializing things that we may never need, please structure it as: static void perf_env__init_kernel_mode(struct perf_env *env) { const char *arch = perf_env__raw_arch(env); if (!strncmp(arch, "x86_64", 6) || !strncmp(arch, "aarch64", 7) || !strncmp(arch, "arm64", 5) || !strncmp(arch, "mips64", 6) || !strncmp(arch, "parisc64", 8) || !strncmp(arch, "riscv64", 7) || !strncmp(arch, "s390x", 5) || !strncmp(arch, "sparc64", 7)) kernel_is_64_bit = 1; else kernel_is_64_bit = 0; } void perf_env__init(struct perf_env *env) { ... env->kernel_is_64_bit = -1; ... } bool perf_env__kernel_is_64_bit(struct perf_env *env) { if (env->kernel_is_64_bit == -1) perf_env__init_kernel_mode(env); return env->kernel_is_64_bit; } One thing in my TODO is to crack down on the tons of initializations perf does unconditionally, last time I looked there are lots :-\ - Arnaldo > > Combining the comment from Adrian in another email, I think it's good to add > > a new field "compat_mode" in the struct perf_env, and this field will be > > initialized in build-record.c.

[PATCH v2 0/6] perf cs-etm: Support TRBE (unformatted decoding)

by James Clark

This patchset consists of refactoring to allow the decoder to be created in advance when the AUX records are iterated over. The AUX record flags are used to communicate whether the data is formatted or not which is the reason this refactoring is required. These changes result in some simplifications, removal of early exit conditions etc. A change was also made to --dump-raw-trace code to allow the formatted/unformatted status to persist and for the decoder to not be continually deleted and recreated. The changes apply on top of the previous patchset "[PATCH v7 0/2] perf cs-etm: Split Coresight decode by aux records". Changes since v1: * Change 'decoders_per_cpu' variable name to 'decoders' and add a comment * Add a warning that piped mode is best effort, suggested by Suzuki James Clark (6): perf cs-etm: Refactor initialisation of kernel start address perf cs-etm: Split setup and timestamp search functions perf cs-etm: Only setup queues when they are modified perf cs-etm: Suppress printing when resetting decoder perf cs-etm: Use existing decoder instead of resetting it perf cs-etm: Pass unformatted flag to decoder .../perf/util/cs-etm-decoder/cs-etm-decoder.c | 14 +- tools/perf/util/cs-etm.c | 185 +++++++++--------- 2 files changed, 97 insertions(+), 102 deletions(-) -- 2.28.0
