[PATCH] coresight: add support to enable more coresight paths

by Tao Zhang

Current coresight implementation only supports enabling source ETMs or STM. This patch adds support to enable more kinds of coresight source to sink paths. We build a path from source to sink when any source is enabled and store it in a list. When the source is disabled, we fetch the corresponding path from the list and decrement the refcount on each device in the path. The device is disabled if the refcount reaches zero. Don't store path to coresight data structure of source to avoid unnecessary change to ABI. Since some targets may have coresight sources other than STM and ETMs, we need to add this change to support these coresight devices.

[PATCH 1/2] perf cs-etm: Refactor timestamp variable names

by James Clark

Remove ambiguity in variable names relating to timestamps. A later commit will save the sample kernel timestamp in one of the etm structs, so name all elements appropriately to avoid confusion. This is also removes some ambiguity arising from the fact that the --timestamp argument to perf record refers to sample kernel timestamps, and the /timestamp/ event modifier refers to etm timestamps, so the term is overloaded.

[PATCH v1 0/2] coresight: Add support for device names

by Tao Zhang

This series add support for coresight device name. In this way, nodes with specific names can be generated under sysfs, not just names with prefixes and index numbers. The coresight device can be quickly identified by the coresight names of sysfs nodes. This also allows using same names for CoreSight devices across different targets. This makes it easy to develop common scripts, which can be run across targets. Meanwhile, the script can use the same device name to control the same coresight device.

[PATCH] coresight: etm-perf: Fix define build issue when built as module

CONFIG_CORESIGHT_SOURCE_ETM4X is undefined when built as module, CONFIG_CORESIGHT_SOURCE_ETM4X_MODULE is defined instead. Therefore code in format_attr_contextid_show() not correctly complied when coresight built as module. Use IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_CORESIGHT_SOURCE_ETM4X) to correct this.

[PATCH v6 00/10] CoreSight configuration management; ETM strobing

by Mike Leach

This patchset introduces initial concepts in CoreSight system configuration management support. to allow more detailed and complex programming to be applied to CoreSight systems during trace capture. Configurations consist of 2 elements:- 1) Features - programming combinations for devices, applied to a class of device on the system (all ETMv4), or individual devices. 2) Configurations - a set of programmed features used when the named configuration is selected. Features and configurations are declared as a data table, a set of register, resource and parameter requirements. Features and configurations are loaded into the system by the virtual cs_syscfg device. This then matches features to any registered devices and loads the feature into them. Individual device classes that support feature and configuration register with cs_syscfg. Once loaded a configuration can be enabled for a specific trace run. Configurations are registered with the perf cs_etm event as entries in cs_etm/events. These can be selected on the perf command line as follows:- perf record -e cs_etm/<config_name>/ ... This patch set has one pre-loaded configuration and feature. A named "strobing" feature is provided for ETMv4. A named "autofdo" configuration is provided. This configuration enables strobing on any ETM in used. Thus the command: perf record -e cs_etm/autofdo/ ... will trace the supplied application while enabling the "autofdo" configuation on each ETM as it is enabled by perf. This in turn will enable strobing for the ETM - with default parameters. Parameters can be adjusted using configfs. The sink used in the trace run will be automatically selected. A configuration can supply up to 15 of preset parameter values, which will subsitute in parameter values for any feature used in the configuration. Selection of preset values as follows perf record -e cs_etm/autofdo,preset=1/ ... (valid presets 1-N, where N is the number supplied in the configuration, not exceeding 15. preset=0 is the same as not selecting a preset.) Applies to & tested against coresight/next-ETE-TRBE (5.12-rc3 base) Changes since v5: 1) Fix code style issues from auto-build reports, as Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp(a)intel.com> 2) Update comments to get consistent docs for API functions. 3) remove unused #define from autofdo example. 4) fix perf code style issues from patch 4 (Mathieu) 5) fix configfs code style issues from patch 9. (Mathieu) Changes since v4: (based on comments from Matthieu and Suzuki). No large functional changes - primarily code improvements and naming schema. 1) Updated entire set to ensure a consistent naming scheme was used for variables and struct members that refer to the key objects in the system. Suffixes _desc used for all references to feature and configuraion descriptors, suffix _csdev used for all references to load feature and configs in the csdev instances. (Mathieu & Suzuki). 2) Dropped the 'configurations' sub dir in cs_etm perf directories as superfluous with the configfs containing the same information. (Mathieu). 3) Simplified perf handling code (suzuki) 4) Multiple simplifications and improvements for code readability (Matthieu and Suzuki) Changes since v3: (Primarily based on comments from Matthieu) 1) Locking mechanisms simplified. 2) Removed the possibility to enable features independently from configurations.Only configurations can be enabled now. Simplifies programming logic. 3) Configuration now uses an activate->enable mechanism. This means that perf will activate a selected configuration at the start of a session (during setup_aux), and disable at the end of a session (around free_aux) The active configuration and associated features will be programmed into the CoreSight device instances when they are enabled. This locks the configuration into the system while in use. Parameters cannot be altered while this is in place. This mechanism will be extended in future for dynamic load / unload of configurations to prevent removal while in use. 4) Removed the custom bus / driver as un-necessary. A single device is registered to own perf fs elements and configfs. 5) Various other minor issues addressed. Changes since v2: 1) Added documentation file. 2) Altered cs_syscfg driver to no longer be coresight_device based, and moved to its own custom bus to remove it from the main coresight bus. (Mathieu) 3) Added configfs support to inspect and control loaded configurations and features. Allows listing of preset values (Yabin Cui) 4) Dropped sysfs support for adjusting feature parameters on the per device basis, in favour of a single point adjustment in configfs that is pushed to all device instances. 5) Altered how the config and preset command line options are handled in perf and the drivers. (Mathieu and Suzuki). 6) Fixes for various issues and technical points (Mathieu, Yabin) Changes since v1: 1) Moved preloaded configurations and features out of individual drivers. 2) Added cs_syscfg driver to manage configurations and features. Individual drivers register with cs_syscfg indicating support for config, and provide matching information that the system uses to load features into the drivers. This allows individual drivers to be updated on an as needed basis - and removes the need to consider devices that cannot benefit from configuration - static replicators, funnels, tpiu. 3) Added perf selection of configuarations. 4) Rebased onto the coresight module loading set. To follow in future revisions / sets:- a) load of additional config and features by loadable module. b) load of additional config and features by configfs c) enhanced resource management for ETMv4 and checking features have sufficient resources to be enabled. d) ECT and CTI support for configuration and features.

Help sought on which approach to take for tracing with CoreSight

by Dominik Huber

Hello, I want to gather trace data of closed source binaries using CoreSight ETMv4 on a Hikey620. I want to know the source and destination address for all taken jumps of the traced program, like in the output of "perf script". It would be great if I could get feedback on how to achieve this. I'm not sure where to turn to with such a broad CoreSight problem, so I'm sorry if you are not the right ones to turn to, but I'd be happy for any help or advice you might have. My main problem is, that I don't know which approaches are promising to try. Below I describe two Ideas that I tried but where I got stuck after a while. Are they any good for my use case? If yes, then how can I solve the respective problems that have come up, or where can I look to solve them? If not, are there maybe better ways to approach this, which I've overlooked until now? After hearing a presentation from Mathieu Poirier, I thought sysFS was the (only) way to go. However, the decoded trace seems to show only the jump address, instead of both the source and destination addresses, and I did not find a register to change that. Also, the trace gathered seems to lose some of the branch addresses. Inserting a sleep instruction after each regular instruction into my test program, fixed that. But since it should also work for closed source binaries and has to be fast this is probably not an option. Then I tried to copy the way "perf record" is tracing, and extract the relevant code parts. But then I realized, that perf record doesn't use sysFS, apart from enabling the sink in "util/cs-etm.c" (which apparently is not used, and not even deactivated afterward). So there is another way to gather trace, maybe by interacting with the CoreSight driver directly. But looking into the "perf report" source code I couldn't find it yet. Thanks and regards, Dominik
