I was going to suggest that. May be we could do that as a separate patch after fixing the problem here first (so that it can be back ported). This was initially a perf_handle only used for the perf mode, and it didn't make sens to have a "perf" argument to "enable" which could be used for both sysfs and perf. Now that the path is a generic data structure, it makes sense to move everything to accept the path. Suzuki > That's the only benefit in my mind so far. > > Thanks, > Jie > >> >> -Carl >

[PATCH v2] coresight: Fix data arguments to coresight enable/disable helpers

by Carl Worth

In the commit being fixed, coresight_enable_path() was changed to call coresight_enable_helpers() by passing a struct coresight_path* as the final void* 'path' argument, rather passing 'sink_data' as was being passed previously. This set the groundwork for the subsequent addition of the ctcu_enable function which interprets void* data as a struct coresight_path*, but it also broke the existing catu_enable function which interprets void* data as a struct perf_output_handle*. The compiler could not flag the error since there are several layers of function calls treating the pointer as void*. Fix both users simultaneously by adding an additional argument to the enable helper interface. So now both the struct coresight_path and the struct perf_output_handle pointers are passed. Also, eliminate all usages of the void* from these code paths and use explicit types instead to make all of this code more robust. Note: The disable function is also changed from void* to struct coresight_path* but no implementations of this function need the struct perf_output_handle* so it is not added to the interface. The existing bug can be reproduced with: # perf record -e cs_etm//k -C 0-9 dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null Showing an oops as follows: Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 000f6e84934ed19e Call trace: tmc_etr_get_buffer+0x30/0x80 [coresight_tmc] (P) catu_enable_hw+0xbc/0x3d0 [coresight_catu] catu_enable+0x70/0xe0 [coresight_catu] coresight_enable_path+0xb0/0x258 [coresight] Fixes: 080ee83cc361 ("Coresight: Change functions to accept the coresight_path") Signed-off-by: Carl Worth <carl(a)os.amperecomputing.com> --- Jie, I looked into your suggestion of adding the struct perf_output_handle* to the struct coresight_path, but I couldn't justify adding event-related data to the path structure, which has nothing to do with it. So, instead I took the approach in this patch to plumb both arguments through the enable path, (and changed away from void* as you agreed to). Note: I've tested that this fixes the bug for catu_enable. This patch also obviously touches ctcu_enable, which I believe is correct, but I have not tested since I don't have ready access to the necessary hardware. I will appreciate other testing. -Carl drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-catu.c | 12 ++++++---- drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-core.c | 23 +++++++++++-------- .../hwtracing/coresight/coresight-ctcu-core.c | 11 ++++----- .../hwtracing/coresight/coresight-cti-core.c | 7 ++++-- .../hwtracing/coresight/coresight-cti-sysfs.c | 2 +- drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-cti.h | 6 +++-- drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-priv.h | 2 +- .../hwtracing/coresight/coresight-tmc-etr.c | 4 ++-- drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-tmc.h | 3 ++- include/linux/coresight.h | 6 +++-- 10 files changed, 45 insertions(+), 31 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-catu.c b/drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-catu.c index 5058432233da..724c25d0afa4 100644 --- a/drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-catu.c +++ b/drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-catu.c @@ -397,7 +397,7 @@ static int catu_wait_for_ready(struct catu_drvdata *drvdata) } static int catu_enable_hw(struct catu_drvdata *drvdata, enum cs_mode cs_mode, - void *data) + struct perf_output_handle *handle) { int rc; u32 control, mode; @@ -425,7 +425,7 @@ static int catu_enable_hw(struct catu_drvdata *drvdata, enum cs_mode cs_mode, etrdev = coresight_find_input_type( csdev->pdata, CORESIGHT_DEV_TYPE_SINK, etr_subtype); if (etrdev) { - etr_buf = tmc_etr_get_buffer(etrdev, cs_mode, data); + etr_buf = tmc_etr_get_buffer(etrdev, cs_mode, handle); if (IS_ERR(etr_buf)) return PTR_ERR(etr_buf); } @@ -455,7 +455,8 @@ static int catu_enable_hw(struct catu_drvdata *drvdata, enum cs_mode cs_mode, } static int catu_enable(struct coresight_device *csdev, enum cs_mode mode, - void *data) + struct coresight_path *path, + struct perf_output_handle *handle) { int rc = 0; struct catu_drvdata *catu_drvdata = csdev_to_catu_drvdata(csdev); @@ -463,7 +464,7 @@ static int catu_enable(struct coresight_device *csdev, enum cs_mode mode, guard(raw_spinlock_irqsave)(&catu_drvdata->spinlock); if (csdev->refcnt == 0) { CS_UNLOCK(catu_drvdata->base); - rc = catu_enable_hw(catu_drvdata, mode, data); + rc = catu_enable_hw(catu_drvdata, mode, handle); CS_LOCK(catu_drvdata->base); } if (!rc) @@ -488,7 +489,8 @@ static int catu_disable_hw(struct catu_drvdata *drvdata) return rc; } -static int catu_disable(struct coresight_device *csdev, void *__unused) +static int catu_disable(struct coresight_device *csdev, + struct coresight_path *__unused) { int rc = 0; struct catu_drvdata *catu_drvdata = csdev_to_catu_drvdata(csdev); diff --git a/drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-core.c b/drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-core.c index fa758cc21827..cc449d5196a4 100644 --- a/drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-core.c +++ b/drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-core.c @@ -353,14 +353,17 @@ static bool coresight_is_helper(struct coresight_device *csdev) } static int coresight_enable_helper(struct coresight_device *csdev, - enum cs_mode mode, void *data) + enum cs_mode mode, + struct coresight_path *path, + struct perf_output_handle *handle) { - return helper_ops(csdev)->enable(csdev, mode, data); + return helper_ops(csdev)->enable(csdev, mode, path, handle); } -static void coresight_disable_helper(struct coresight_device *csdev, void *data) +static void coresight_disable_helper(struct coresight_device *csdev, + struct coresight_path *path) { - helper_ops(csdev)->disable(csdev, data); + helper_ops(csdev)->disable(csdev, path); } static void coresight_disable_helpers(struct coresight_device *csdev, void *data) @@ -477,7 +480,9 @@ void coresight_disable_path(struct coresight_path *path) EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(coresight_disable_path); static int coresight_enable_helpers(struct coresight_device *csdev, - enum cs_mode mode, void *data) + enum cs_mode mode, + struct coresight_path *path, + struct perf_output_handle *handle) { int i, ret = 0; struct coresight_device *helper; @@ -487,7 +492,7 @@ static int coresight_enable_helpers(struct coresight_device *csdev, if (!helper || !coresight_is_helper(helper)) continue; - ret = coresight_enable_helper(helper, mode, data); + ret = coresight_enable_helper(helper, mode, path, handle); if (ret) return ret; } @@ -496,7 +501,7 @@ static int coresight_enable_helpers(struct coresight_device *csdev, } int coresight_enable_path(struct coresight_path *path, enum cs_mode mode, - void *sink_data) + struct perf_output_handle *handle) { int ret = 0; u32 type; @@ -510,7 +515,7 @@ int coresight_enable_path(struct coresight_path *path, enum cs_mode mode, type = csdev->type; /* Enable all helpers adjacent to the path first */ - ret = coresight_enable_helpers(csdev, mode, path); + ret = coresight_enable_helpers(csdev, mode, path, handle); if (ret) goto err_disable_path; /* @@ -526,7 +531,7 @@ int coresight_enable_path(struct coresight_path *path, enum cs_mode mode, switch (type) { case CORESIGHT_DEV_TYPE_SINK: - ret = coresight_enable_sink(csdev, mode, sink_data); + ret = coresight_enable_sink(csdev, mode, handle); /* * Sink is the first component turned on.

Thanks. That much makes sense to me, and I'll put together a patch along those lines. But, further: with core coresight code assembling into the path all the data that is necessary, is there any reason to be using void* in these enable/disable functions? Could we also change these functions to accept a coresight_path* and actually get some compiler help at finding mistakes like the one we're fixing here? -Carl

This is problematic, with refcnt being a non-atomic type. Please fix. I don't see why we can't set the mode in tmc_enable_etr_sink_sysfs() with the locks held and reset the mode if we failed enable it properly.

[PATCH 0/2] perf: Fix overflow in PERF_IDX2OFF() for Arm SPE and TRBE drivers

by Leo Yan

If the AUX buffer size is specified as 2 GiB or larger, the expression "(buf)->nr_pages << PAGE_SHIFT" may exceed 0x8000_0000. Since (buf)->nr_pages is a signed integer, the shift can overflow and produce a negative value. As a result, PERF_IDX2OFF() fails to work correctly. Fix this by casting (buf)->nr_pages to unsigned long before the shift, which allows PERF_IDX2OFF() to handle large buffers properly.

The suggestion looks good to me. Thanks, Leo

I am fine for adding the notifier block in csdev. Suzuki, could you confirm if this is the right way to move forward? Thanks, Leo
