[PATCH] stm class: Fix Kconfig symbols

[PATCH RESEND v5 0/3] coresight-tnoc: Add support for Interconnect TNOC

by Yuanfang Zhang

This patch series adds support for the Qualcomm CoreSight Interconnect TNOC (Trace Network On Chip) block, which acts as a CoreSight graph link forwarding trace data from subsystems to the Aggregator TNOC. Unlike the Aggregator TNOC, this block does not support aggregation or ATID assignment.

[PATCH v4 00/14] perf cs-etm/arm-spe: Remove hard coded config fields

by James Clark

The specific config field that an event format attribute is in is consistently hard coded, even though the API is supposed to be that the driver publishes the config field name. To stop this pattern from being copy pasted and causing problems in the future, replace them all with calls to a new helper that returns the value that a user set. This reveals some issues in evsel__set_config_if_unset(). It doesn't work with sparse bitfields, which are an unused but documented feature. And it also only writes to the attr.config field. To fix it we need to start tracking user changes for all config fields and then use existing helper functions that support sparse bitfields. Some other refactoring was also required and a test was added. --- Changes in v4: - Constify some function args (Ian) - Move some evsel__* functions to evsel.c and make some pmu.c functions public to support this (Ian) - Drop pmu arg where it can be fetched from evsel->pmu (Ian) - Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251212-james-perf-config-bits-v3-0-aa36a4846776… Changes in v3: - Fix uninitialized variable warning on GCC - Fix leak of evlist in test - Confirm no type punning issues with ubsan (Ian) - Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251208-james-perf-config-bits-v2-0-4ac0281993b0… Changes in v2: - Remove macros in get_config_chgs() and some other refactoring. - Support sparse bitfields in evsel__set_config_if_unset(). - Always track user changes instead of only when 'pmu->perf_event_attr_init_default' is set. - Add a test. - Don't bail out in cs-etm.c if any format fields are missing (Leo). - Rename 'guess' to 'synth' (Mike). - Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251201-james-perf-config-bits-v1-0-22ecbbf8007c… --- James Clark (14): perf parse-events: Refactor get_config_terms() to remove macros perf evsel: Refactor evsel__set_config_if_unset() arguments perf evsel: Move evsel__* functions to evsel.c perf evsel: Support sparse fields in evsel__set_config_if_unset() perf parse-events: Track all user changed config bits perf evsel: apply evsel__set_config_if_unset() to all config fields perf evsel: Add a helper to get the value of a config field perf parse-events: Always track user config changes perf tests: Test evsel__set_config_if_unset() and config change tracking perf cs-etm: Make a helper to find the Coresight evsel perf cs-etm: Don't use hard coded config bits when setting up ETMCR perf cs-etm: Don't use hard coded config bits when setting up TRCCONFIGR perf cs-etm: Don't hard code config attribute when configuring the event perf arm-spe: Don't hard code config attribute tools/perf/arch/arm/util/cs-etm.c | 201 +++++++++++++++------------- tools/perf/arch/arm64/util/arm-spe.c | 17 +-- tools/perf/arch/x86/util/intel-pt.c | 3 +- tools/perf/tests/pmu.c | 91 +++++++++++++ tools/perf/util/evsel.c | 112 +++++++++++++++- tools/perf/util/evsel.h | 6 +- tools/perf/util/evsel_config.h | 7 +- tools/perf/util/parse-events.c | 248 ++++++++++++++++++++--------------- tools/perf/util/pmu.c | 95 ++++---------- tools/perf/util/pmu.h | 34 ++++- 10 files changed, 529 insertions(+), 285 deletions(-) --- base-commit: cbd41c6d4c26c161a2b0e70ad411d3885ff13507 change-id: 20251112-james-perf-config-bits-bee7106f0f00 Best regards, -- James Clark <james.clark(a)linaro.org>
