Commit [bb1860efc817] changed the sink handling code introducing an uninitialised pointer bug. This results in the default sink selection failing.
Prior to commit:
static void etm_setup_aux(...)
<snip> struct coresight_device *sink; <snip>
/* First get the selected sink from user space. */ if (event->attr.config2) { id = (u32)event->attr.config2; sink = coresight_get_sink_by_id(id); } else { sink = coresight_get_enabled_sink(true); } <ctd>
*sink always initialised - possibly to NULL which triggers the automatic sink selection.
After commit:
static void etm_setup_aux(...)
<snip> struct coresight_device *sink; <snip>
/* First get the selected sink from user space. */ if (event->attr.config2) { id = (u32)event->attr.config2; sink = coresight_get_sink_by_id(id); } <ctd>
*sink pointer uninitialised when not providing a sink on the perf command line. This breaks later checks to enable automatic sink selection.
