[PATCH v3 0/8] coresight: etm-perf: Fix pid tracing with VHE

by Leo Yan

This patch series is to support PID tracing with Virtualization Host Extensions (VHE). To be backward compatibility, and can both support PID tracing for the kernel is running at either EL1 or EL2, the two new PMU formats "contextid1" and "contextid2" are introduced, which works as switches to trace PID for EL1 kernel and EL2 kernel respectively. The existed PMU format "contextid" needs to be backward compatible for users, it's changed as an alias for "contextid1" on EL1 kernel and for "contextid2" on EL2 kernel. Therefore, even without setting "contextid" config, the perf tool can dynamically pick up the config for PID tracing, the user doesn't have to set the "contexid" config manually. This patch series can be cleanly applied on perf/core branch: commit cd07e536b020 ("Merge remote-tracking branch 'torvalds/master' into perf/core") ... and applied on the mainline kernel: commit 1e0d27fce010 ("Merge branch 'akpm' (patches from Andrew)") The patch series has been tested on Arm Juno-r2 board. Verified the kernel with EL1 and didn't find issue; after some hacking in kernel driver and tool to emulate the code paths for kernel on EL2, can see the code path is hit without failure. Changes from v2: * Split into two patches for clarification comment on perf options, one patch is for kernel change and the another one is for tools' change (Suzuki); * Simplified cs_etm__get_pid_fmt() to return ETM_OPT_CTXTID2 OR ETM_OPT_CTXTID, but not both (Suzuki); * Cached "pid_fmt" in cs_etm_decoder__set_tid() (Suzuki); * Refined documentation for more clear description for PMU format usages (Mike); * Added Suzuki's and Mike's Reviewed tags. Changes from v1: * Refactored PMU formats, added formats "contextid1"/"contextid2", and reworked format "contextid" (Suzuki/Mathieu); * Refined the comments for perf configs (Leo/Mike); * Added patch 07/07 for description PID tracing in docs; * Found the issue for bitmap for option, extracted patch 03/07 for the fixing. Changes from RFC: * Added comments to clarify cases requested (Leo); * Explain the change to generic flags for cs_etm_set_option() in the commit description; * Stored PID format in metadata and passed it to decoder (Leo); * Enhanced cs-etm for backward compatibility (Denis Nikitin).

[PATCH] coresight: etm4x: work around clang-12+ build failure

by Arnd Bergmann

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd(a)arndb.de> clang-12 fails to build the etm4x driver with -fsanitize=array-bounds: <instantiation>:1:7: error: expected constant expression in '.inst' directive .inst (0xd5200000|((((2) << 19) | ((1) << 16) | (((((((((((0x160 + (i * 4))))) >> 2))) >> 7) & 0x7)) << 12) | ((((((((((0x160 + (i * 4))))) >> 2))) & 0xf)) << 8) | (((((((((((0x160 + (i * 4))))) >> 2))) >> 4) & 0x7)) << 5)))|(.L__reg_num_x8)) ^ drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-etm4x-core.c:702:4: note: while in macro instantiation etm4x_relaxed_read32(csa, TRCCNTVRn(i)); ^ drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-etm4x.h:403:4: note: expanded from macro 'etm4x_relaxed_read32' read_etm4x_sysreg_offset((offset), false))) ^ drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-etm4x.h:383:12: note: expanded from macro 'read_etm4x_sysreg_offset' __val = read_etm4x_sysreg_const_offset((offset)); \ ^ drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-etm4x.h:149:2: note: expanded from macro 'read_etm4x_sysreg_const_offset' READ_ETM4x_REG(ETM4x_OFFSET_TO_REG(offset)) ^ drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-etm4x.h:144:2: note: expanded from macro 'READ_ETM4x_REG' read_sysreg_s(ETM4x_REG_NUM_TO_SYSREG((reg))) ^ arch/arm64/include/asm/sysreg.h:1108:15: note: expanded from macro 'read_sysreg_s' asm volatile(__mrs_s("%0", r) : "=r" (__val)); \ ^ arch/arm64/include/asm/sysreg.h:1074:2: note: expanded from macro '__mrs_s' " mrs_s " v ", " __stringify(r) "\n" \ ^ It appears that the __builin_constant_p() check in read_etm4x_sysreg_offset() falsely returns 'true' here because clang decides finds that an out-of-bounds access to config->cntr_val[] cannot happen, and then it unrolls the loop with constant register numbers. Then when actually emitting the output, it fails to figure out the value again. While this is incorrect behavior in clang, it is easy to work around by avoiding the out-of-bounds array access. Do this by limiting the loop counter to the actual dimension of the array.

[PATCH v4 00/19] arm64: coresight: Add support for ETE and TRBE

by Suzuki K Poulose

This series enables future IP trace features Embedded Trace Extension (ETE) and Trace Buffer Extension (TRBE). This series applies on linux-next/master (from tag next-20210222), and is also available here [0]. Patches 1 & 2: UABI updates for perf AUX flag format. We reserve a byte for advertising the format of the buffer when the PMU could support different formats. The CoreSight PMUs could use Frame formatted data and Raw format of the trace source. Patches 3 - 5: Fixes for arm64 KVM hypervisor to align with the architecture. Patches 6 - 7: Adds the arrchitecture defintions for trace and TRBE Patch 8 : Adds the necessary changes for enabling TRBE access to host from the early initialisation (VHE and nVHE). Also support for nVHE hyp to save/restore the TRBE context of the host during a trip to the guest. Patches 9 - 19: CoreSight driver specific changes and DT bindings for ETE and TRBE support ETE is the PE (CPU) trace unit for CPUs, implementing future architecture extensions. ETE overlaps with the ETMv4 architecture, with additions to support the newer architecture features and some restrictions on the supported features w.r.t ETMv4. The ETE support is added by extending the ETMv4 driver to recognise the ETE and handle the features as exposed by the TRCIDRx registers. ETE only supports system instructions access from the host CPU. The ETE could be integrated with a TRBE (see below), or with the legacy CoreSight trace bus (e.g, ETRs). Thus the ETE follows same firmware description as the ETMs and requires a node per instance. Trace Buffer Extensions (TRBE) implements a per CPU trace buffer, which is accessible via the system registers and can be combined with the ETE to provide a 1x1 configuration of source & sink. TRBE is being represented here as a CoreSight sink. Primary reason is that the ETE source could work with other traditional CoreSight sink devices. As TRBE captures the trace data which is produced by ETE, it cannot work alone. TRBE representation here have some distinct deviations from a traditional CoreSight sink device. Coresight path between ETE and TRBE are not built during boot looking at respective DT or ACPI entries. Unlike traditional sinks, TRBE can generate interrupts to signal including many other things, buffer got filled. The interrupt is a PPI and should be communicated from the platform. DT or ACPI entry representing TRBE should have the PPI number for a given platform. During perf session, the TRBE IRQ handler should capture trace for perf auxiliary buffer before restarting it back.

[PATCH 0/4] Add support to exclude kernel mode hardware assisted instruction tracing

by Sai Prakash Ranjan

Hardware assisted tracing families such as ARM Coresight, Intel PT provides rich tracing capabilities including instruction level tracing and accurate timestamps which are very useful for profiling and also pose a significant security risk. One such example of security risk is when kernel mode tracing is not excluded and these hardware assisted tracing can be used to analyze cryptographic code execution. In this case, even the root user must not be able to infer anything. To explain it more clearly, here is the quote from a member of the security team (credits: Mattias Nissler), "Consider a system where disk contents are encrypted and the encryption key is set up by the user when mounting the file system. From that point on the encryption key resides in the kernel. It seems reasonable to expect that the disk encryption key be protected from exfiltration even if the system later suffers a root compromise (or even against insiders that have root access), at least as long as the attacker doesn't manage to compromise the kernel." Here the idea is to protect such important information from all users including root users since root privileges does not have to mean full control over the kernel [1] and root compromise does not have to be the end of the world. Currently we can exclude kernel mode tracing via perf_event_paranoid sysctl but it has following limitations, * It is applicable to all PMUs and not just the ones supporting instruction tracing. * No option to restrict kernel mode instruction tracing by the root user. * Not possible to restrict kernel mode instruction tracing when the hardware assisted tracing IPs like ARM Coresight ETMs use an additional interface via sysfs for tracing in addition to perf interface. So introduce a new config CONFIG_EXCLUDE_KERNEL_HW_ITRACE to exclude kernel mode instruction tracing which will be generic and applicable to all hardware tracing families and which can also be used with other interfaces like sysfs in case of ETMs. Patch 1 adds this new config and the support in perf core to exclude kernel mode tracing for PMUs which support instruction mode tracing. Patch 2 adds the perf evsel warning message when the perf tool users attempt to perform a kernel mode instruction trace with the config enabled to exclude the kernel mode tracing. Patch 3 and Patch 4 adds the support for excluding kernel mode for ARM Coresight ETM{4,3}XX sysfs mode using the newly introduced generic config.
