[PATCH] Revert "perf/aux: Allocate non-contiguous AUX pages by default"

by Leo Yan

This reverts commit 18049c8cff9cc89daadc4df6975f7d9069638926. The original commit claimed that contiguous AUX pages unnecessarily exacerbate fragmentation for SPE, TRBE and ETR. This is not generally valid: larger allocations can keep pages with the same lifetime together, while order-0 allocations can scatter them across large blocks and prevent free pages from coalescing [1]. The follow-up discussion [2] has not established how forcing order-0 allocations addresses the reported problem. TRBE and SPE write to virtually addressed buffers. The TRBE L1 TLB has one entry on Neoverse V2 [3] and two on Neoverse V3 [4]. Small mappings increase translation pressure, and TTW stalls can contribute to FIFO overflow and trace loss on TRBE. Larger allocations provide contiguous, aligned chunks for PMD or contiguous-PTE mappings with the proposed vmap() support [5]. With the proposed vmap() support already applied, the tests in [2] showed that preferring larger AUX allocations reduced L2 data TLB refills by 99.68% in the TRBE test and 34.74% in the SPE test. Restore the previous policy of trying higher-order allocations first. The allocator already uses __GFP_NORETRY and falls back to smaller orders, including order 0, when larger allocations fail. Remove PERF_PMU_CAP_AUX_PREFER_LARGE, since the restored default provides that preference. Intel PT retains its existing allocation behaviour, with no functional change.

I'd like to leave this to James and Mike as I got suggestions from them. Please also rebase onto the latest CoreSight next branch [1], which moves the capability fields into drvdata->caps. I found an issue in the decoding of caps.nr_event; the attached patch fixes it and makes the field hold the actual event count. [1] https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/coresight/linux.git branch: next ---8<--- From 95307fa0574b1e0b3922ffa23fe98144b2688496 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Leo Yan <leo.yan(a)arm.com> Date: Wed, 21 Oct 2026 17:05:18 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] coresight: etm4x: Fix event count decoding TRCIDR0.NUMEVENT normally encodes the number of events minus one. From ETMv4.3 onwards, including ETE, a zero TRCIDR4.NUMRSPAIR instead means that no events are implemented and NUMEVENT is zero. The sysfs event controls currently interpret this combination as one event and allow writes to unsupported event fields. Decode NUMEVENT after NUMRSPAIR and store the actual number of events in nr_event. Use the decoded resource count so that older ETM versions, where a zero NUMRSPAIR represents one resource pair, still report at least one event. Update both sysfs event controls to use the actual count and clear their event fields when no events are implemented. Also correct the instruction event enable mask for the single-event case to use INSTEN[0]. The existing mask uses INSTEN[1], preventing event 0 from being enabled. This change depends on the recent driver refactoring. With no reported failures, it is not intended for stable backporting.

Could the MADT-derived CPU masks be exposed through platform_get_irq_affinity(), so SPE and TRBE can continue using the common interface without fetching ACPI-specific data? TBC, I don't know ACPI or GIC. I just thought it might be a neat approach. > Apply the same treatment to TRBE, which shares this registration > code.

I wouldn't expect any changes to the SPE or TRBE drivers if platform_get_irq_affinity() can return the correct CPU mask. Thanks, Leo
