[PATCH v4 00/14] perf cs-etm/arm-spe: Remove hard coded config fields

by James Clark

The specific config field that an event format attribute is in is consistently hard coded, even though the API is supposed to be that the driver publishes the config field name. To stop this pattern from being copy pasted and causing problems in the future, replace them all with calls to a new helper that returns the value that a user set. This reveals some issues in evsel__set_config_if_unset(). It doesn't work with sparse bitfields, which are an unused but documented feature. And it also only writes to the attr.config field. To fix it we need to start tracking user changes for all config fields and then use existing helper functions that support sparse bitfields. Some other refactoring was also required and a test was added. --- Changes in v4: - Constify some function args (Ian) - Move some evsel__* functions to evsel.c and make some pmu.c functions public to support this (Ian) - Drop pmu arg where it can be fetched from evsel->pmu (Ian) - Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251212-james-perf-config-bits-v3-0-aa36a4846776… Changes in v3: - Fix uninitialized variable warning on GCC - Fix leak of evlist in test - Confirm no type punning issues with ubsan (Ian) - Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251208-james-perf-config-bits-v2-0-4ac0281993b0… Changes in v2: - Remove macros in get_config_chgs() and some other refactoring. - Support sparse bitfields in evsel__set_config_if_unset(). - Always track user changes instead of only when 'pmu->perf_event_attr_init_default' is set. - Add a test. - Don't bail out in cs-etm.c if any format fields are missing (Leo). - Rename 'guess' to 'synth' (Mike). - Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251201-james-perf-config-bits-v1-0-22ecbbf8007c… --- James Clark (14): perf parse-events: Refactor get_config_terms() to remove macros perf evsel: Refactor evsel__set_config_if_unset() arguments perf evsel: Move evsel__* functions to evsel.c perf evsel: Support sparse fields in evsel__set_config_if_unset() perf parse-events: Track all user changed config bits perf evsel: apply evsel__set_config_if_unset() to all config fields perf evsel: Add a helper to get the value of a config field perf parse-events: Always track user config changes perf tests: Test evsel__set_config_if_unset() and config change tracking perf cs-etm: Make a helper to find the Coresight evsel perf cs-etm: Don't use hard coded config bits when setting up ETMCR perf cs-etm: Don't use hard coded config bits when setting up TRCCONFIGR perf cs-etm: Don't hard code config attribute when configuring the event perf arm-spe: Don't hard code config attribute tools/perf/arch/arm/util/cs-etm.c | 201 +++++++++++++++------------- tools/perf/arch/arm64/util/arm-spe.c | 17 +-- tools/perf/arch/x86/util/intel-pt.c | 3 +- tools/perf/tests/pmu.c | 91 +++++++++++++ tools/perf/util/evsel.c | 112 +++++++++++++++- tools/perf/util/evsel.h | 6 +- tools/perf/util/evsel_config.h | 7 +- tools/perf/util/parse-events.c | 248 ++++++++++++++++++++--------------- tools/perf/util/pmu.c | 95 ++++---------- tools/perf/util/pmu.h | 34 ++++- 10 files changed, 529 insertions(+), 285 deletions(-) --- base-commit: cbd41c6d4c26c161a2b0e70ad411d3885ff13507 change-id: 20251112-james-perf-config-bits-bee7106f0f00 Best regards, -- James Clark <james.clark(a)linaro.org>

[PATCH RESEND v5 0/3] coresight-tnoc: Add support for Interconnect TNOC

by Yuanfang Zhang

This patch series adds support for the Qualcomm CoreSight Interconnect TNOC (Trace Network On Chip) block, which acts as a CoreSight graph link forwarding trace data from subsystems to the Aggregator TNOC. Unlike the Aggregator TNOC, this block does not support aggregation or ATID assignment.

[PATCH v8 00/13] coresight: Update timestamp attribute to be an interval instead of bool

by James Clark

Do some cleanups then expand the timestamp format attribute from 1 bit to 4 bits for ETMv4 in Perf mode. The current interval is too high for most use cases, and particularly on the FVP the number of timestamps generated is excessive. This change not only still allows disabling or enabling timestamps, but also allows the interval to be configured. The old bit is kept deprecated and undocumented for now. There are known broken versions of Perf that don't read the format attribute positions from sysfs and instead hard code the timestamp bit. We can leave the old bit in the driver until we need the bit for another feature or enough time has passed that these old Perfs are unlikely to be used. The interval option is added as an event format attribute, rather than a Coresight config because it's something that the driver is already configuring automatically in Perf mode using any unused counter, so it's not possible to modify this with a config. Applies to coresight/next Signed-off-by: James Clark <james.clark(a)linaro.org> --- Changes in v8: - Handle ts_level attribute outside etm4_config_timestamp_event() (Mike) - Flip commits 11 and 12 so that the new attribute works as soon as it's published to sysfs for bisecting (Suzuki) - Remove some spurious header includes - Link to v7: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251126-james-cs-syncfreq-v7-0-7fae5e0e5e16@lina… Changes in v7: - Change TRCCNTCTLRn and TRCTSCTLR register definitions to use a combined field for TYPE and SEL (EVENT) so that they can be used with the new utilities. - Add utility functions for creating resource selectors that do compile and runtime checking of the resource selector ID. - Link to v6: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251119-james-cs-syncfreq-v6-0-740d24a29e51@lina… Changes in v6: - #ifdef out format attributes for ETMv3 instead of using is_visible(). Then the same block can be used to define format_attr_contextid_show() which avoids an awkward WARN_ONCE() and comments in arm32 for a function that's never called. - Link to v5: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251118-james-cs-syncfreq-v5-0-82efd7b1a751@lina… Changes in v5: - Add parens to interval calculation in docs (Randy) - Swap "minimum interval" and "maximum interval" in docs.

Wrapping everything in IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_CORESIGHT_SOURCE_ETM4X) isn't ideal, but the -perf.c file is shared between ETMv3 and ETMv4, and there is already precedent for doing it this way. - Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250811-james-cs-syncfreq-v1-0-b001cd6e3404@lina… --- James Clark (13): coresight: Change syncfreq to be a u8 coresight: Repack struct etmv4_drvdata coresight: Refactor etm4_config_timestamp_event() coresight: Hide unused ETMv3 format attributes coresight: Define format attributes with GEN_PMU_FORMAT_ATTR() coresight: Interpret ETMv3 config with ATTR_CFG_GET_FLD() coresight: Don't reject unrecognized ETMv3 format attributes coresight: Interpret perf config with ATTR_CFG_GET_FLD() coresight: Interpret ETMv4 config with ATTR_CFG_GET_FLD() coresight: Remove misleading definitions coresight: Prepare to allow setting the timestamp interval coresight: Extend width of timestamp format attribute coresight: docs: Document etm4x timestamp interval option Documentation/trace/coresight/coresight.rst | 16 +- drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-etm-perf.c | 68 ++++---- drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-etm-perf.h | 38 +++++ drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-etm3x-core.c | 39 +++-- drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-etm4x-core.c | 175 ++++++++++++--------- drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-etm4x.h | 92 ++++++++--- include/linux/coresight-pmu.h | 24 --- 7 files changed, 279 insertions(+), 173 deletions(-) --- base-commit: 9e9182cab5ebc3ee7544e60ef08ba19fdf216920 change-id: 20250724-james-cs-syncfreq-7c2257a38ed3 Best regards, -- James Clark <james.clark(a)linaro.org>
