[PATCH v2 0/2] coresight: etm4x: Fix timestamp regression

by Leo Yan

The timestamp appears all zeros with latest kernel, which is caused by wrong bit field setting. The first patch fixes the regression. The second patch refactors the ts_source_show() function. It simplifies the code for directly returning the TS value. Changes from v1: - Retained the older condition check (Suzuki).

[PATCH v2] coresight: tmc: fix failure to disable/enable ETF after reading

by Mao Jinlong

ETF may fail to re-enable after reading, and driver->reading will not be set to false, this will cause failure to enable/disable to ETF. This change set driver->reading to false even if re-enabling fail. Fixes: 669c4614236a ("coresight: tmc: Don't enable TMC when it's not ready.")

[PATCH] coresight: etm4x: Fix timestamp bit field handling

by Leo Yan

Timestamps in the trace data appear as all zeros on recent kernels, although the feature works correctly on old kernels (e.g., v6.12). Since commit c382ee674c8b ("arm64/sysreg/tools: Move TRFCR definitions to sysreg"), the TRFCR_ELx_TS_{VIRTUAL|GUEST_PHYSICAL|PHYSICAL} macros were updated to remove the bit shift. As a result, the driver no longer shifts bits when operates the timestamp field. Fix this by using the FIELD_PREP() and FIELD_GET() helpers. Simplify the ts_source_show() function: return -1 when the value is zero, as this indciates an invalid value; otherwise return the decoded TS value directly.

Understood. I thought it would be easier for later maintenance if we encapsulate error handling in the function, but I don't have strong opinion. It is fine for me to return bool type. Thanks, Leo

As we discussed, given this patch is relative big, let us divide into three small patches for easier review. - The first patch is to address that the sysfs interface misses to call cscfg_csdev_disable_active_config() for disabling config. - The second patch fixes the locking issue for "config_csdev_list". As the "config_csdev_list" is protected by cscfg_csdev_lock, the cscfg_remove_owned_csdev_configs() function should use lock for exclusive operations. - The third patch is to fix reference counter of a config module. The patch adds cscfg_config_desc_get() and cscfg_config_desc_put() in the config enabling / disabling flow for acquiring module reference counter. Thanks, Leo

[PATCH v4 0/7] Arm CoreSight: Support AUX pause and resume

by Leo Yan

This series is to enable AUX pause and resume on Arm CoreSight. The first patch extracts the trace unit controlling operations to two functions. These two functions will be used by AUX pause and resume. Patches 02 and 03 change the ETMv4 driver to prepare callback functions for AUX pause and resume. Patch 04 changes the ETM perf layer to support AUX pause and resume in a perf session. The patch 05 re-enables sinks after buffer update, based on it, the patch 06 updates buffer on AUX pause occasion, which can mitigate the trace data lose issue. Patch 07 documents the AUX pause usages with Arm CoreSight. This patch set has been verified on the Hikey960 board. It is suggested to disable CPUIdle (add `nohlt` option in Linux command line) when verifying this series. ETM and funnel drivers are found issues during CPU suspend and resume which will be addressed separately. Changes from v3: - Re-enabled sink in buffer update callbacks (Suzuki). Changes from v2: - Rebased on CoreSight next branch. - Dropped the uAPI 'update_buf_on_pause' and updated document respectively (Suzuki). - Renamed ETM callbacks to .pause_perf() and .resume_perf() (Suzuki). - Minor improvement for error handling in the AUX resume flow. Changes from v1: - Added validation function pointers in pause and resume APIs (Mike).
