[PATCH v3 0/8] coresight: Fix device registration and unregistration

by Leo Yan

This series is to fix and refactor CoreSight device registration and unregistration, it can be divided into three small parts: Patches 01-03: Three fixes for memory leak, device reference and mutex protection. Patches 04-05: Move connection cleanup operations into coresight_remove_conns(). Patches 06-08: Refactor error handling in coresight_register(). This series is verified on Juno board with kmemleak detector. For kmemleak verifying: echo clear > /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak insmod coresight modules rmmod coresight modules echo scan > /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak The result shows no memory leak during a cycle of device registration and unregistration. --- Changes in v3: - Updated patch 01 to use coesight core layer for device index list (Suzuki). - Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260126-arm_coresight_refactor_dev_register-v2-0… Changes in v2: - Refined the commit log in patch 06 (Suzuki). - Unified to call coresight_unregister() for error handling (Suzuki). - Refactor connection and sysfs group release. - Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20250512154108.23920-1-leo.yan@arm… To: Suzuki K Poulose <suzuki.poulose(a)arm.com> To: Mike Leach <mike.leach(a)arm.com> To: James Clark <james.clark(a)linaro.org> To: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin(a)linux.intel.com> To: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh(a)linuxfoundation.org> To: Mathieu Poirier <mathieu.poirier(a)linaro.org> To: Mao Jinlong <quic_jinlmao(a)quicinc.com> Cc: coresight(a)lists.linaro.org Cc: linux-arm-kernel(a)lists.infradead.org Cc: linux-kernel(a)vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Leo Yan <leo.yan(a)arm.com> --- Leo Yan (8): coresight: Fix memory leak in coresight_alloc_device_name() coresight: Get parent device reference after sink ID map allocation coresight: Protect unregistration with mutex coresight: Refactor output connection sysfs link cleanup coresight: Refactor sysfs connection group cleanup coresight: Move sink validation into etm_perf_add_symlink_sink() coresight: Do not mix success path with failure handling coresight: Unify error handling in coresight_register() drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-catu.c | 4 +- drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-core.c | 230 +++++++++++++-------- drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-ctcu-core.c | 4 +- drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-cti-core.c | 19 +- drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-dummy.c | 7 +- drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-etb10.c | 4 +- drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-etm-perf.c | 5 +- drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-funnel.c | 4 +- drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-platform.c | 2 +- drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-priv.h | 3 +- drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-replicator.c | 4 +- drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-stm.c | 4 +- drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-tmc-core.c | 12 +- drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-tnoc.c | 4 +- drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-tpda.c | 4 +- drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-tpdm.c | 4 +- drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-tpiu.c | 4 +- drivers/hwtracing/coresight/ultrasoc-smb.c | 4 +- include/linux/coresight.h | 14 +- 19 files changed, 175 insertions(+), 161 deletions(-) --- base-commit: eebe8dbd8630f51cf70b1f68a440cd3d7f7a914d change-id: 20260120-arm_coresight_refactor_dev_register-f16c069db41d Best regards, -- Leo Yan <leo.yan(a)arm.com>

[issue] coresight: Device tree dependency cycle warnings with bidirectional port references

by 梁镇

Hi CoreSight maintainers, I'm working on adding CoreSight support for RISC-V platform and encountering dependency cycle warnings during boot when defining the device tree topology with bidirectional port references. ## Problem Description When I define the CoreSight topology in device tree with remote-endpoint properties in both out-ports and in-ports (as shown in some examples), the kernel reports dependency cycle warnings: ... [ 2.092243] /soc/funnel@d9042000: Fixed dependency cycle(s) with /soc/etf@d9043000 [ 2.099843] /soc/funnel@d9042000: Fixed dependency cycle(s) with /soc/etf@d9043000 [ 2.107359] /soc/etf@d9043000: Fixed dependency cycle(s) with /soc/funnel@d9042000 [ 2.114899] /soc/etf@d9043000: Fixed dependency cycle(s) with /soc/etr@d9044000 [ 2.122234] /soc/etf@d9043000: Fixed dependency cycle(s) with /soc/etr@d9044000 [ 2.129492] /soc/etr@d9044000: Fixed dependency cycle(s) with /soc/etf@d9043000 ## Current Device Tree Structure encoder0: encoder@d9002000 { compatible = "riscv,trace-encoder"; reg = <0x0 0xd9002000 0x0 0x1000>; cpus = <&cpu_0>; out-ports { port { cluster0_encoder0_out_port: endpoint { remote-endpoint = <&cluster0_bridge0_in_port>; }; }; }; }; bridge0: bridge@d9003000 { compatible = "riscv,trace-atbbridge"; reg = <0x0 0xd9003000 0x0 0x1000>; cpus = <&cpu_0>; out-ports { port { cluster0_bridge0_out_port: endpoint { remote-endpoint = <&cluster0_funnel_in_port0>; }; }; }; in-ports { port { cluster0_bridge0_in_port: endpoint { remote-endpoint = <&cluster0_encoder0_out_port>; }; }; }; }; ................. cluster0_funnel: funnel@d9000000 { compatible = "riscv,trace-funnel"; reg = <0x0 0xd9000000 0x0 0x1000>; cpus = <&cpu_0>, <&cpu_1>, <&cpu_2>, <&cpu_3>; out-ports { port { cluster0_funnel_out_port: endpoint { remote-endpoint = <&main_funnel_in_port0>; }; }; }; in-ports { #address-cells = <1>; #size-cells = <0>; port@0 { reg = <0>; cluster0_funnel_in_port0: endpoint { remote-endpoint = <&cluster0_bridge0_out_port>; }; }; port@1 { reg = <1>; cluster0_funnel_in_port1: endpoint { remote-endpoint = <&cluster0_bridge1_out_port>; }; }; port@2 { reg = <2>; cluster0_funnel_in_port2: endpoint { remote-endpoint = <&cluster0_bridge2_out_port>; }; }; port@3 { reg = <3>; cluster0_funnel_in_port3: endpoint { remote-endpoint = <&cluster0_bridge3_out_port>; }; }; }; }; main_funnel: funnel@d9042000 { compatible = "arm,coresight-dynamic-funnel", "arm,primecell"; reg = <0x0 0xd9042000 0x0 0x1000>; clocks = <&dummy_clk>; clock-names = "apb_pclk"; out-ports { port { main_funnel_out_port: endpoint { remote-endpoint = <&etf_in_port>; }; }; }; in-ports { #address-cells = <1>; #size-cells = <0>; port@0 { reg = <0>; main_funnel_in_port0: endpoint { remote-endpoint = <&cluster0_funnel_out_port>; }; }; port@1 { reg = <1>; main_funnel_in_port1: endpoint { remote-endpoint = <&cluster1_funnel_out_port>; }; }; port@2 { reg = <2>; main_funnel_in_port2: endpoint { remote-endpoint = <&cluster2_funnel_out_port>; }; }; port@3 { reg = <3>; main_funnel_in_port3: endpoint { remote-endpoint = <&cluster3_funnel_out_port>; }; }; }; }; etf: etf@d9043000 { compatible = "arm,coresight-tmc", "arm,primecell"; reg = <0x0 0xd9043000 0x0 0x1000>; clocks = <&dummy_clk>; clock-names = "apb_pclk"; out-ports { port { etf_out_port: endpoint { remote-endpoint = <&etr_in_port>; }; }; }; in-ports { port { etf_in_port: endpoint { remote-endpoint = <&main_funnel_out_port>; }; }; }; }; etr: etr@d9044000 { compatible = "arm,coresight-tmc", "arm,primecell"; reg = <0x0 0xd9044000 0x0 0x1000>; clocks = <&dummy_clk>; clock-names = "apb_pclk"; arm,scatter-gather; in-ports { port { etr_in_port: endpoint { remote-endpoint = <&etf_out_port>; }; }; }; }; ## Questions The kernel's fw_devlink mechanism detects and "fixes" these cycles, but can I avoid them in the device tree definition? The system works correctly despite the warnings, but I'd like to understand the proper way to define the topology to avoid these messages. Thank you for your guidance! liangzhen(a)linux.spacemit.com
