Authentication problem of Coresight ETM for self-hosted tracing

by Yabin Cui

Hi coresight team, In ARM ETM specification for ETM4.0 to 4.2, TRCAUTHSTATUS contains NSNID, showing whether non-invasive debug is disabled. And In ARM Coresight Specification 3.0, NSNID field is 0b10 (supported and disabled) if (NIDEN | DBGEN) == FALSE. And In ARM architecture manual for ARMv8-A, in K2.1: DBGEN is for external debug enable. NIDEN is for external profiling and trace enable. So it seems if DBGEN and NIDEN is disabled by hardware, even if the intention is to disable external debug interface, ETM is totally disabled. And there is no way to use it for self-hosted tracing. Is it true? And if yes, is there any plan to solve it in the future? Thanks, Yabin

ETR buffer overfill protection

by Srdjan Stokic

Hello, We are using coresight to dump compressed stream through ETR into a 16MB buffer in RAM. (The platform is nVidia TX2) To gather data from the buffer we are using the Linux dd command: dd if=/dev/8050000.etr of=~/coresightdata.bin The issue is that during the copying of the data, the coresight recording becomes disabled (which shouldn't really be the case since its a circular buffer), so we are having some blind spots in the recordings for the duration of the copying of data from RAM into a file. Is there any way to prevent this from happening? Maybe to set up some kind of ping-pong scheme, or to specify somehow that coresight shouldn't stop recording while accessing the ETR buffer? Thank you. Srdjan Stokic Mobile: +389-78-835-505

[PATCH v2 0/5] perf cs-etm: Support thread stack and callchain

by Leo Yan

This patch series adds support for thread stack and callchain. Patch 01 is to refactor the instruction size calculation and it is a preparation for patch 02. Patch 02 is to add thread stack support, after applying this patch then the option '-F,+callindent' can be used by perf script tool; patch 03 is to add branch filter thus the perf tool can only display function calls and returns after enable the call indentation or call chain related options. Patch 04 is the patch to synthesize call chain for the instruction samples. Patch 05 allows the instruction sample can be handled synchronously with the thread stack, thus it fixes an error for the callchain generation. This patch set has been tested on 96boards Hikey620.

[PATCH v6 0/3] coresight: etm4x: save/restore ETMv4 context across CPU low power states

by Andrew Murray

Some hardware will ignore bit TRCPDCR.PU which is used to signal to hardware that power should not be removed from the trace unit. Let's mitigate against this by conditionally saving and restoring the trace unit state when the CPU enters low power states. This patchset introduces a firmware property named 'arm,coresight-loses-context-with-cpu' - when this is present the hardware state will be conditionally saved and restored. A module parameter 'pm_save_enable' is also introduced which can be configured to override the firmware property. This parameter also provides a means to save/restore state when external agents are used. The hardware state is only ever saved and restored when a coresight session is present. Changes since v5: - Fix indentation, comment style and add implicit fallthrough comment - Use NOTIFY_* for all return values in pm notifier callback - Rename PARAM_PM_SAVE_EXTERNAL to PARAM_PM_SAVE_ALWAYS - Update module parameter description - Add comment to explain why we keep power on - Rebased onto coresight/next c165d8947bc4 ("eeprom: Deprecate the legacy eeprom driver") Changes since v4: - Rename fwnode property to "arm,coresight-loses-context-with-cpu" as this doesn't imply a software policy - Update the device tree binding document to indicate that this property isn't specific to ETMs - also provide a longer description more generic description with an example of why it might be used - Set the module parameter at probe based on the value determined by firmware. The user can still override the firmware via the kernel command line, this has the effect of hiding the PARAM_PM_SAVE_FIRMWARE option from the user - though we still internally use it to allow us to determine if the user has set the parameter. - Remove unnecessary call to smp_processor_id - Move etm4_needs_save_restore helper to coresight.c and rename - Rebased onto coresight/next a04d8683f577 ("...ity of etm4_os_unlock comment") - Drop Reviewed-By from Suzuki on "coresight: etm4x: save/restore st..." patch as content changed too much - Add module option to that keeps clocks/power enabled at probe and saves state when external or self-hosted is in use. Changes since v3: - Only save/restore when self-hosted is being used and detect this without relying on the coresight registers (which may not be available) - Only allocate memory for etmv4_save_state at probe time when configuration indicates it may be used - Set pm_save_enable param to 0444 such that it is static after boot - Save/restore TRCPDCR - Add missing comments to struct etm4_drvdata documentation - Rebased onto coresight/next (8f1f9857) Changes since v2: - Move the PM notifier block from drvdata to file static - Add section names to document references - Add additional information to commit messages - Remove trcdvcvr and trcdvcmr from saved state and add a comment to describe why - Ensure TRCPDCR_PU is set after restore and add a comment to explain why we bother toggling TRCPDCR_PU on save/restore - Reword the pm_save_enable options and add comments - Miscellaneous style changes - Move device tree binding documentation to its own patch Changes since v1: - Rebased onto coresight/next - Correcly pass bit number rather than BIT macro to coresight_timeout - Abort saving state if a timeout occurs - Fix completely broken pm_notify handling and unregister handler on error - Use state_needs_restore to ensure state is restored only once - Add module parameter description to existing boot_enable parameter and use module_param instead of module_param_named - Add firmware bindings for coresight-needs-save-restore - Rename 'disable_pm_save' to 'pm_save_enable' which allows for disabled, enabled or firmware - Update comment on etm4_os_lock, it incorrectly indicated that the code unlocks the trace registers - Add comments to explain use of OS lock during save/restore - Fix incorrect error description whilst waiting for PM stable - Add WARN_ON_ONCE when cpu isn't as expected during save/restore - Various updates to commit messages Andrew Murray (3): coresight: etm4x: save/restore state across CPU low power states dt-bindings: arm: coresight: Add support for coresight-loses-context-with-cpu coresight: etm4x: save/restore state for external agents .../devicetree/bindings/arm/coresight.txt | 9 + drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-etm4x.c | 351 +++++++++++++++++- drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-etm4x.h | 64 ++++ drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight.c | 8 +- include/linux/coresight.h | 13 + 5 files changed, 443 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) -- 2.21.0

Questions on trace capture via RDDI

by Raj Swaminathan - C

Hello, I have had some success streaming instruction trace to my Linux PC using RDDI (from ARM Development studio 2019) and a DStreamer ST. However I am also having some problems: 1. Failure to stop trace cleanly I have enabled streaming from an ETM attached to a Cortex-R5 core. As described in the RDDI documentation, to stop streaming, I call StreamingTrace_Flush() and wait for RDDI_STREAMING_TRACE_EVENT_TYPE_END_OF_DATA event. Next i call StreamingTrace_Stop() which succeeds and then try StreamingTrace_Detach() which seems to fail with the following assert. tpp.c:84: __pthread_tpp_change_priority: Assertion `new_prio == -1 || (new_prio >= fifo_min_prio && new_prio <= fifo_max_prio)' failed. Aborted (core dumped) If i try to avoid calling StreamingTrace_{Detach, Stop} then Debug_CloseConn to the core never returns and i get a seg fault. 2. Raw trace does not start with A-SYNC bits I do see A-SYNC bits later but my understanding was ETM always sends the A-SYNC bits first. Cheers, raj

Tracing and decoding support for trace hardware without trace formatter

by Linu Cherian

Hi, We have an ARM v8 based SOC that has got Marvell's ARM trace implementation, with the Trace formatter disabled. ie. FFSR[FtNotPresent] in ETR register space reports 0b1. Have couple of queries related to the tracing and decoding of this hardware configuration. 1. Does openCSD tool supports decoding of trace capture from hardware that has trace formatter disabled. >From the openCSD RRADME, "The library will decode formatted trace in three stages: Frame Deformatting : Removal CoreSight frame formatting from individual trace streams. Packet Processing : Separate individual trace streams into discrete packets. Packet Decode : Convert the packets into fully decoded trace describing the program flow on a core." So, is it possible for openCSD to carry out decoding bypassing the first stage mentioned above. 2. Linux Coresight ETR driver as part of managing the trace buffer wrap condition, a barrier packet is written at the beginning which is essentially a Frame synchronization packet. This gives an impression that that ETR driver is making an assumption that the trace formatter is implemented in hardware. Should we not need a fix here, to accommodate hardware configurations that doesn't support trace formatter as well ? Thanks. Linu Cherian

[PATCH v5] perf machine: arm/arm64: Improve completeness for kernel address space

by Leo Yan

Arm and arm64 architecture reserve some memory regions prior to the symbol '_stext' and these memory regions later will be used by device module and BPF jit. The current code misses to consider these memory regions thus any address in the regions will be taken as user space mode, but perf cannot find the corresponding dso with the wrong CPU mode so we misses to generate samples for device module and BPF related trace data. This patch parse the link scripts to get the memory size prior to start address and reduce this size from 'machine>->kernel_start', then can get a fixed up kernel start address which contain memory regions for device module and BPF. Finally, machine__get_kernel_start() can reflect more complete kernel memory regions and perf can successfully generate samples. The reason for parsing the link scripts is Arm architecture changes text offset dependent on different platforms, which define multiple text offsets in $kernel/arch/arm/Makefile. This offset is decided when build kernel and the final value is extended in the link script, so we can extract the used value from the link script. We use the same way to parse arm64 link script as well. If fail to find the link script, the pre start memory size is assumed as zero, in this case it has no any change caused with this patch. Below is detailed info for testing this patch: - Install or build LLVM/Clang; - Configure perf with ~/.perfconfig: root@debian:~# cat ~/.perfconfig # this file is auto-generated.

[RFC PATCH 0/5] Describe CoreSight topology using sysfs links.

by Mike Leach

The connections between CoreSight sources, links and sinks is not obvious without documentation or access to the device tree / ACPI definitions for the platform. This patchset provides sysfs links to enable the user to follow the trace patch from source to sink. Components in the trace path are updated to have a connections sysfs group, which collates all the links for that component. This supplements the sysfs links created for connections between CTI devices and applies on top of that work from the patchset [1]. Adaptation of an original patchset [2] from Suzuki, reusing 2 patches unchanged with update to 3rd adapt to the CTI v4 RFC set and new code to add default connections group. Tested on DB410c 5.3-rc1, coresight/next branch.
