[PATCH v3 0/1] coresight: fix issue with insufficient claim tags

by Mike Leach

All CoreSight compliant components have an implementation defined number of 0 to 8 claim tag bits in the claim tag registers. These are used to claim the CoreSight resources by system agents. ARM recommends implementions have 4 claim tag bits, though a valid implementation can have 0 claim tags bits. The CoreSight drivers implement a 2 claim tag bit protocol to allow self hosted and external debug agents to manage access to the hardware. However, if there are less than 2 claim tags available the protocol incorrectly returns an error on device claim, as no checks are made. If insufficient claim tags are present in a component then the protocol must return success on claim / disclaim to allow components to be used normally. Add initialisation to read the CLAIMSET bits to establish the number of available claim tag bits, and adjust the claim returns accordingly. Cache the claimtag protocol availablity in the coresight_device to reduce reads for the main claim/disclaim api. changes since v2: 1) consolidated API to remove the API calls using just cs_access, which were used purely to clear down stale self claim tags, replace with a normal coresight_device API for initialisation, to match the claim/disclaim API. This does both the check on availability and the stale tag clearance. Updated all drivers to use the new init functionality 2) Added option for drivers to skip claim tag checking completely for devices with no-compliant hardware, that do not implement registers at the claim tag location, or do not operate correctly to indicate the correct number of claim tags for the device. changes since v1: 1) Added claim tag availability cache into coresight_device when using the main coresight_claim_device() / coresight_disclaim_device() API.

[PATCH v11 0/9] perf cs-etm: Support thread stack and callchain

by Leo Yan

This series adds thread-stack and synthesized callchain support for Arm CoreSight, which comes from older series [1] but heavily rewritten. CS ETM previously kept last-branch state in a per-trace-queue buffer. That effectively makes the state per CPU, while the call/return history belongs to a thread. This series moves branch tracking to the common thread-stack code. The series records CoreSight branches with thread_stack__event(), uses thread_stack__br_sample() for last branch entries, flushes thread stacks after decoder resets. A decoder reset between AUX trace buffers is treated as a global trace discontinuity, so all thread stacks are flushed, so avoids carrying stale call/return history across a trace discontinuity. One limitation remains for instructions emulated by the kernel. In that case the exception return address may not match the return address stored in the thread stack, because after exception return can be one instruction ahead. The stack can still recover when a later return matches an upper caller. Given emulated instructions are not the common target for performance callchain analysis. Supporting this would require extending the common thread-stack path to accept both the real target address and an adjusted address for stack matching, so this series leaves that extra complexity out. The series has been tested on Orion6 board: perf test 136 -vvv 136: CoreSight synthesized callchain: --- start --- test child forked, pid 3539 ---- end(0) ---- 136: CoreSight synthesized callchain : Ok perf script --itrace=g16i10il64 callchain_test 17468 [005] 1031003.229943: 10 instructions: aaaac32507c4 main+0x8 (/home/kernel/leoy/test_cs_callchain/callchain_test) ffff90bd225c __libc_start_call_main+0x7c (/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6) ffff90bd233c call_init+0x9c (inlined) ffff90bd233c __libc_start_main_impl+0x9c (inlined) aaaac3250670 _start+0x30 (/home/kernel/leoy/test_cs_callchain/callchain_test) callchain_test 17468 [005] 1031003.229943: 10 instructions: aaaac3250774 do_svc+0xc (/home/kernel/leoy/test_cs_callchain/callchain_test) aaaac3250798 print+0xc (/home/kernel/leoy/test_cs_callchain/callchain_test) aaaac32507b0 foo+0xc (/home/kernel/leoy/test_cs_callchain/callchain_test) aaaac32507c8 main+0xc (/home/kernel/leoy/test_cs_callchain/callchain_test) ffff90bd225c __libc_start_call_main+0x7c (/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6) ffff90bd233c call_init+0x9c (inlined) ffff90bd233c __libc_start_main_impl+0x9c (inlined) aaaac3250670 _start+0x30 (/home/kernel/leoy/test_cs_callchain/callchain_test) callchain_test 17468 [005] 1031003.229944: 10 instructions: ffff800080010c20 vectors+0x420 ([kernel.kallsyms]) aaaac3250784 do_svc+0x1c (/home/kernel/leoy/test_cs_callchain/callchain_test) aaaac3250798 print+0xc (/home/kernel/leoy/test_cs_callchain/callchain_test) aaaac32507b0 foo+0xc (/home/kernel/leoy/test_cs_callchain/callchain_test) aaaac32507c8 main+0xc (/home/kernel/leoy/test_cs_callchain/callchain_test) ffff90bd225c __libc_start_call_main+0x7c (/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6) ffff90bd233c call_init+0x9c (inlined) ffff90bd233c __libc_start_main_impl+0x9c (inlined) aaaac3250670 _start+0x30 (/home/kernel/leoy/test_cs_callchain/callchain_test) Note, the test fails on Juno board which is caused by many discontinuity packets (mainly caused by NO_SYNC elem).

The problem is that if the device has already been runtime suspended and its clock has been disabled, afterwards when remove the device, the devm cleanup disables the clock again, resulting in clock count underflow. > diff --git a/drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-funnel.c b/drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-funnel.c > index 0abc11f0690c..4c5b94640e6a 100644 > --- a/drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-funnel.c > +++ b/drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-funnel.c > @@ -334,6 +334,7 @@ static void funnel_platform_remove(struct platform_device *pdev) > return; > > funnel_remove(&pdev->dev); > + pm_runtime_get_sync(&pdev->dev); > pm_runtime_disable(&pdev->dev); Let's use the funnel driver for the discussion. Once we agree on the approach, we can apply the same change to the other CoreSight platform drivers. How about the following teardown? static void funnel_platform_remove(struct platform_device *pdev) { struct funnel_drvdata *drvdata = dev_get_drvdata(&pdev->dev); + int ret; if (WARN_ON(!drvdata)) return; + ret = pm_runtime_get_sync(&pdev->dev); + if (ret < 0) + dev_warn(&pdev->dev, "failed to resume before remove: %d\n", ret); + funnel_remove(&pdev->dev); + pm_runtime_disable(&pdev->dev); + pm_runtime_set_suspended(&pdev->dev); + pm_runtime_put_noidle(&pdev->dev); } The idea is to first resume the device with pm_runtime_get_sync(), then perform the remove (which is safe if they need to access or clean up hardware state), and finally clean up the runtime PM states. I mainly referred to drivers/iio/adc/stm32-adc.c. Thanks, Leo

You can always distinguish one from the other by checking the "compatibles" or even add a custom data field to the of_device_id table for the platform driver. Personally, I think it is better to keep things away from AMBA framework, when we get everything from platform driver. Cheers Suzuki > > For example, a modem subsystem may contain many TPDM devices.
