[PATCH v4 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.

You can also panic > during a regular interrupt. The commit mentioned "without disabling IRQs" gives the impression that the deadlock is caused by IRQ-unsafe locking, which might mislead into thinking why the issue cannot be fixed with IRQ-safe locking. Regardless of whether IRQs are disabled, and regardless of the context (interrupt, bottom-half, or normal thread), the conditions for the deadlock are only about: (a) The bus lock has been acquired; (b) A panic is triggered to try to acquire the same lock.

I agree with you that "the whole panic ops stuff should be done directly with the panic". The only difference between us is that I would keep the `panic_ops` callback. To me, this encapsulates panic callbacks into different modules, to make the code more general. Could you check if the drafted patch below looks good to you? If so, I will send out a formal patch. ---8<--- From ea78dd22cbdd97f709c5991d5bd3be97be6e137e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sean Anderson <sean.anderson(a)linux.dev> Date: Tue, 16 Sep 2025 16:03:58 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] coresight: Fix possible deadlock in coresight_panic_cb() coresight_panic_cb() is called during a panic. It invokes bus_for_each_dev(), which then calls bus_to_subsys() and takes the 'bus_kset->list_lock'. If a panic occurs after the lock has been acquired, it can lead to a deadlock. Instead of using a common panic notifier to iterate the bus, this commit directly registers the TMC device's panic notifier. This avoids bus iteration and effectively eliminates the race condition that could cause the deadlock.

It is fine to disagree, but please don't resend v2 :) We have plan to refactor locking in CoreSight driver, I will try my best to avoid adding new lock unless with a strong reason. Thanks, Leo

This may cause a deadlock. I would rephrase it to make it clearer for anyone reading it later: coresight_panic_cb() is called during panics, which can preempt a flow that triggers exceptions (such as data or instruction aborts). However, bus_for_each_dev() calls bus_to_subsys(), which takes 'bus_kset->list_lock'. If a panic occurs after the lock has been acquired, it will cause a deadlock. > Instead of adding a panic API for coresight devices, just have coresight > drivers that need a panic callback register directly with the panic > notifier. > > Fixes: 46006ceb5d02 ("coresight: core: Add provision for panic callbacks") > Fixes: 6dbcbcfc4496 ("coresight: tmc: Enable panic sync handling") Let us fix the bug caused by the commit 46006ceb5d02.

The commit message should be re-written with little more context from arm_trbe_alloc_buffer(), after describing the new scope-based resource management. > > Signed-off-by: Markus Elfring <elfring(a)users.sourceforge.net> > --- > drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-trbe.c | 21 ++++++++------------ > 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 13 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-trbe.c b/drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-trbe.c > index 8f9bbef71f23..1b0d58bf8613 100644 > --- a/drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-trbe.c > +++ b/drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-trbe.c > @@ -733,8 +733,6 @@ static void *arm_trbe_alloc_buffer(struct coresight_device *csdev, > struct perf_event *event, void **pages, > int nr_pages, bool snapshot) > { > - struct trbe_buf *buf; > - struct page **pglist; > int i; > > /* > @@ -746,32 +744,29 @@ static void *arm_trbe_alloc_buffer(struct coresight_device *csdev, > if (nr_pages < 2) > return NULL; > > - buf = kzalloc_node(sizeof(*buf), GFP_KERNEL, trbe_alloc_node(event)); > + struct trbe_buf *buf __free(kfree) = kzalloc_node(sizeof(*buf), > + GFP_KERNEL, > + trbe_alloc_node(event)); > if (!buf) > return NULL; > > - pglist = kcalloc(nr_pages, sizeof(*pglist), GFP_KERNEL); > - if (!pglist) { > - kfree(buf); > + struct page **pglist __free(kfree) = kcalloc(nr_pages, sizeof(*pglist), GFP_KERNEL); > + if (!pglist) > return NULL; > - } > > for (i = 0; i < nr_pages; i++) > pglist[i] = virt_to_page(pages[i]); > > buf->trbe_base = (unsigned long)vmap(pglist, nr_pages, VM_MAP, PAGE_KERNEL); > - if (!buf->trbe_base) { > - kfree(pglist); > - kfree(buf); > + if (!buf->trbe_base) > return NULL; > - } > + > buf->trbe_limit = buf->trbe_base + nr_pages * PAGE_SIZE; > buf->trbe_write = buf->trbe_base; > buf->snapshot = snapshot; > buf->nr_pages = nr_pages; > buf->pages = pages; > - kfree(pglist); > - return buf; > + return_ptr(buf); > } > > static void arm_trbe_free_buffer(void *config) Seems like a good idea though.

Re: [PATCH v2] coresight: Fix possible deadlock in coresight_panic_cb

Hi Sean, On Thu, Sep 11, 2025 at 11:33:15AM -0400, Sean Anderson wrote: > coresight_panic_cb is called with interrupts disabled during panics. > However, bus_for_each_dev calls bus_to_subsys which takes > bus_kset->list_lock without disabling IRQs.

Even when IRQ is disabled, if an exception happens, a CPU still can be trapped for handling kernel panic. > Maintain a separate list of coresight devices to access during a panic. Rather than maintaining a separate list and introducing a new spinlock, I would argue if we can simply register panic notifier in TMC ETR and ETF drviers (see tmc_panic_sync_etr() and tmc_panic_sync_etf()). If there is no dependency between CoreSight modules in panic sync flow, it is not necessary to maintain list (and lock) for these modules. I have not involved in panic patches before, so I would like to know the maintainers' opinion. Thanks, Leo

[PATCH v1 0/5] coresight: Fix device registration and unregistration

by Leo Yan

This series is to fix device registration and unregistration. The first patch addresses the resource is not released properly for a failure case during a device registration. The second patch is to use mutex to protect unregistration flow. The last three patches are for refactoring. Patch 03 explicitly uses the parent device handler. Patch 04 separates the success and failure flows for code readable and easier maintenance. Patch 05 improves the error handling by invoking specific functions for resource cleanup.
