[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.

[PATCH v4 0/6] Refactoring finding CPU phandles in DT

by Alireza Sanaee

This series refactor the way CPU IDs are retrieved from the device tree. Usually, there is a for loop that goes over every single CPU that can be avoided. This also reduces the amount of NULL pointer checks in drivers. I have abstracted away that loop and introduced a new function (of_cpu_node_to_id) for this. This patchset is a subset of [1], where I removed content and patches relevant to hyper-threaded cores for DT. Based on the discussion, the code refactor is still useful, hence this patchset.

[PATCH v2] coresight: trbe: Return NULL pointer for allocation failures

by Leo Yan

When the TRBE driver fails to allocate a buffer, it currently returns the error code "-ENOMEM". However, the caller etm_setup_aux() only checks for a NULL pointer, so it misses the error. As a result, the driver continues and eventually causes a kernel panic. Fix this by returning a NULL pointer from arm_trbe_alloc_buffer() on allocation failures. This allows that the callers can properly handle the failure.

[PATCH v6 00/10] coresight: Fix and improve clock usage

by Leo Yan

This series fixes and improves clock usage in the Arm CoreSight drivers. Based on the DT binding documents, the trace clock (atclk) is defined in some CoreSight modules, but support is absent. In most cases, the issue is hidden because the atclk clock is shared by multiple CoreSight modules and the clock is enabled anyway by other drivers. The first three patches address this issue. The programming clock (pclk) management in CoreSight drivers does not use the devm_XXX() variant APIs, the drivers needs to manually disable and release clocks for errors and for normal module exit. However, the drivers miss to disable clocks during module exit. The atclk may also not be disabled in CoreSight drivers during module exit. By using devm APIs, patches 04 and 05 fix clock disabling issues. Another issue is pclk might be enabled twice in init phase - once by AMBA bus driver, and again by CoreSight drivers. This is fixed in patch 06. Patches 07 to 10 refactor the clock related code. Patch 07 consolidates the clock initialization into a central place. Patch 08 polishes driver data allocation. Patch 09 makes the clock enabling sequence consistent. Patch 09 removes redundant condition checks and adds error handling in runtime PM. This series has been verified on Arm64 Juno platform, for both DT and ACPI modes. Also tested on Hikey960 for emulating static funnel and replicator without clock nodes. Mark kindly tested on imx8mp board. --- Changes in v6: - Changed to devm_clk_get_optional_enabled() for pclk, for fixing the clock initialization failure reported by Mark. - Added James test tags as no change for ACPI. - Link to v5: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250724-arm_cs_fix_clock_v4-v5-0-63f648dae021@ar… Changes in v5: - Skip clock management for ACPI devices (Suzuki). - Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250627-arm_cs_fix_clock_v4-v4-0-0ce0009c38f8@ar… Changes in v4: - Separated patch 07 into two patches, one is for clock consolidation and another is for polishing driver data allocation (Anshuman).

[PATCH v2 00/28] CoreSight: Address CPU Power Management Issues

by Leo Yan

This series addresses CPU power management issues in the CoreSight drivers. For easier review, the patches are organized into two categories: o Patches 01 ~ 10 focus on CPU power management within the ETM drivers. These patches fix SMP-safe access to the mode, correct context synchronization, and refactor the CPU suspend/resume flows. o Patches 11 ~ 28 extend CPU power management to cover activated paths, including helpers, links, and sinks. These changes move CPU PM and hotplug notifiers from the ETMv4 driver into the CoreSight core layer. Summary of Changes: - Patches 01 ~ 03: Fix device mode access in the SMP mode. - Patch 04 : A minor fix for polling bit. - Patches 05 ~ 07: Improve the context synchronization based on the ETM specification (IHI0064H.b) and Arm ARM (ARM DDI 0487 L.a). - Patches 08 ~ 10: Refactor the context save/restore flow in the ETMv4 driver, in the end, the CPU PM callbacks reuse the normal enabling and disabling flows. - Patches 11 ~ 17: Move CPU PM code from ETMv4 driver to the core layer. - Patches 18 ~ 25: Enhance device mode handling in the CTI driver, distinguishes debug mode from trace modes (Perf or SysFS mode). Extend support activated paths during CPU idle. Support save and restore context for per-CPU sink (TRBE). - Patches 26 ~ 28: Move CPU hotplug notifier from the ETMv4 driver to the core layer. The full path is now managed in CPU hotplug. Verification: This series has been verified on the following platforms: - Hikey960, Juno-r0 and Juno-r2: Note that the firmware on Hikey960 and Juno-r0 is unstable. While no CoreSight failures were observed, but the CPU hotplug or CPU idle itself may fail intermittently. Juno-r2 is much stable and can pass 24+ hours stress test. - FVP RevC: Verified TRBE changes.
