Loaded coresight configurations are registered in the cs_etm\cs_config sub directory. This extends the etm-perf code to handle these registrations, and the cs_syscfg driver to perform the registration on load.

"configid=0x%lx", (unsigned long)ea->var ?
ea->var _is_ "configid=0x%lx" due to the way perf handles the events sub-dir entries.
This must be combined with the suggestion below.
+static int etm_perf_add_cscfg_event(struct device *dev, struct cscfg_config_desc *cs_cfg) +{
struct dev_ext_attribute *ea;
unsigned long hash;
int ret;
struct device *pmu_dev = etm_pmu.dev;
ea = devm_kzalloc(dev, sizeof(*ea), GFP_KERNEL);
if (!ea)
return -ENOMEM;
hash = (unsigned long)cs_cfg->id_ea->var;
sysfs_attr_init(&ea->attr.attr);
ea->attr.attr.name = devm_kstrdup(dev, cs_cfg->name, GFP_KERNEL);
if (!ea->attr.attr.name)
return -ENOMEM;
/*
* attribute value is "configid=<hash>".
* this will be what perf evaluates when the config name is used
* on the command line.
*/
ea->var = devm_kzalloc(dev, CSCFG_EVENT_STR_SIZE, GFP_KERNEL);
if (!ea->var)
return -ENOMEM;
Could we drop this string and use the "hash" instead ?
No. My understanding is that we have added an events directory to cs_etm, and add the configurations in there:-
cs_etm/events/autofdo
Now the contents of autofdo are "configid=0x<hash-value>" - where hash-value is the hash of "autofdo".
On the perf command line:-
perf record -e cs_etm/autofdo/ .....
will result in perf parsing autofdo, looking in the events dir for cs_etm, seeing the configid=-string, and parsing that to assign to configid attribute - which we have allocated to config2:63:32 - this will then appear as a value in the perf_event and we can load the configuration when starting up the event on the ETM etc.
Sorry, I was not explicit in my comments. You could drop the string and have ea->var = hash. And the _show() could simply do
"configid=0x%lx" , hash
as mentioned above.
That would avoid another string allocation, with the same interface.
OK, that makes sense.
