[RFC PATCH 0/1] perf: Handle multiple formatted AUX records

by Suzuki K Poulose

This is an RFC patch to explore the solution to a problem we have in the CoreSight ETM/ETE PMU. CoreSight ETM trace allows instruction level tracing of Arm CPUs. The ETM generates the CPU excecution trace and pumps it into CoreSight AMBA Trace Bus and is collected by a different CoreSight component (traditionally CoreSight TMC-ETR /ETB/ETF), called "sink". Important to note that there is no guarantee that every CPU has a dedicated sink. Thus multiple ETMs could pump the trace data into the same "sink" and thus they apply additional formatting of the trace data for the user to decode it properly and attribute the trace data to the corresponding ETM. However, with the introduction of Arm Trace buffer Extensions (TRBE), we now have a dedicated per-CPU architected sink for collecting the trace. Since the TRBE is always per-CPU, it doesn't apply any formatting of the trace. The support for this driver is under review [1]. Now a system could have a per-cpu TRBE and one or more shared TMC-ETRs on the system. A user could choose a "specific" sink for a perf session (e.g, a TMC-ETR) or the driver could automatically select the nearest sink for a given ETM. It is possible that some ETMs could end up using TMC-ETR (e.g, if the TRBE is not usable on the CPU) while the others using TRBE in a single perf session. Thus we now have "formatted" trace collected from TMC-ETR and "unformatted" trace collected from TRBE. However, we don't get into a situation where a single event could end up using TMC-ETR & TRBE. i.e, any AUX buffer is guaranteed to be either RAW or FORMATTED, but not a mix of both. As for perf decoding, we need to know the type of the data in the individual AUX buffers, so that it can set up the "OpenCSD" (library for decoding CoreSight trace) decoder instance appropriately. Thus the perf.data file must conatin the hints for the tool to decode the data correctly. Since this is a runtime variable, and perf tool doesn't have a control on what sink gets used (in case of automatic sink selection), we need this information made available from the PMU driver for each AUX record. This patch is an attempt to solve the problem by, adding an AUX flag for each AUX record to indicate the type of the trace in them. It can be defined as a PMU specific flag, which each PMU could interpret in its on way (e.g, PERF_AUX_FLAG_PMU_FLAG_1 or could be a dedicated flag for the CoreSight in a "generic" form PERF_AUX_FLAG_ALT_FMT (Thanks Mike Leach for the name). We are looking for suggestions on how best to solve this problem and happy to explore other options if there is a preferred way of solving this.

[PATCH] coresight: etm4x: Add config to exclude kernel mode tracing

by Sai Prakash Ranjan

On production systems with ETMs enabled, it is preferred to exclude kernel mode(NS EL1) tracing for security concerns and support only userspace(NS EL0) tracing. So provide an option via kconfig to exclude kernel mode tracing if it is required. This config is disabled by default and would not affect the current configuration which has both kernel and userspace tracing enabled by default.

[PATCH v2] perf: cs-etm: update ETM metadata format

by Mike Leach

The current fixed metadata version format (version 0), means that adding metadata parameter items renders files from a previous version of perf unreadable. Per CPU parameters appear in a fixed order, but there is no field to indicate the number of ETM parameters per CPU. This patch updates the per CPU parameter blocks to include a NR_PARAMs value which indicates the number of parameters in the block. The header version is incremented to 1. Fixed ordering is retained, new ETM parameters are added to the end of the list. The reader code is updated to be able to read current version 0 files, For version 1, the reader will read the number of parameters in the per CPU block. This allows the reader to process older or newer files that may have different numbers of parameters than in use at the time perf was built. Changes since v1 (from Review by Leo): 1. Split printing routine into sub functions per version 2. Renamed NR_PARAMs to NR_TRC_PARAMs to emphasise use as count of trace related parameters, not total block parameter. 3. Misc other fixes.

Question: libopencsd API stability

by Michael Petlan

Hello coresight-list! I have a question about the future of OpenCSD library API. How stable is it going to be? I see there's currently v1.0, so I understand it as that there's already some API version which is considered to be "mature". Could anyone please help estimating whether major API changes are planned/to be expected in upcoming years? Thank you! Michael

opencsd in gdb: difference between etm parser report when hitting an exception between STM32MP1 and APQ 8016e

by Zied Guermazi

hi Mike I am compiling , running and debugging a program generated from the same source code on ARMv7 and ARMv8 processors. when a breakpoint is hit, I am using the traces to reconstruct the execution flow. I noticed that on stm32 the decoder emits the address of the breakpoint in an OCSD_GEN_TRC_ELEM_INSTR_RANGE twice (before and after the exception), whereas it emits it only once (after the exception). I need to have different handling according to the situation. what can I use to distinguish both cases and handle the traces properly: - the ETM version (v3.x vs v4.x) - the CPU architecture (Cortex A v7 vs cortex A v8) - the ISA of executed program (A64 vs (A32 or T32 )) - the exception number below are the logs on stm32MP1 (ARMv7, cortex A7) [btrace] ETM trace_element: index= 12, channel= 0x10, OCSD_GEN_TRC_ELEM_INSTR_RANGE(exec range=0x103f4:[0x103f6] num_i(1) last_sz(2) (ISA=T32) E --- ) [btrace] ETM trace_element: index= 13, channel= 0x10, OCSD_GEN_TRC_ELEM_EXCEPTION(excep num (0x09) ) [btrace] ETM trace_element: index= 54, channel= 0x10, OCSD_GEN_TRC_ELEM_TRACE_ON( [begin or filter]) [btrace] ETM trace_element: index= 54, channel= 0x10, OCSD_GEN_TRC_ELEM_PE_CONTEXT((ISA=T32) N; 32-bit; ) [btrace] ETM trace_element: index= 60, channel= 0x10, OCSD_GEN_TRC_ELEM_INSTR_RANGE(exec range=0x103f4:[0x103f6] num_i(1) last_sz(2) (ISA=T32) E --- ) on qcom APQ8016e(ARMv8, Cortex A53) [btrace] ETM trace_element: index= 38, channel= 0x12, OCSD_GEN_TRC_ELEM_INSTR_RANGE(exec range=0x4005b4:[0x4005b8] num_i(1) last_sz(4) (ISA=A64) E --- ) [btrace] ETM trace_element: index= 38, channel= 0x12, OCSD_GEN_TRC_ELEM_EXCEPTION(pref ret addr:0x4005b8; excep num (0x06) ) [btrace] ETM trace_element: index= 112, channel= 0x16, OCSD_GEN_TRC_ELEM_NO_SYNC( [init-decoder]) [btrace] ETM trace_element: index= 138, channel= 0x16, OCSD_GEN_TRC_ELEM_TRACE_ON( [begin or filter]) [btrace] ETM trace_element: index= 139, channel= 0x16, OCSD_GEN_TRC_ELEM_PE_CONTEXT((ISA=A64) EL0N; 64-bit; ) [btrace] ETM trace_element: index= 150, channel= 0x16, OCSD_GEN_TRC_ELEM_INSTR_RANGE(exec range=0x4005b8:[0x4005bc] num_i(1) last_sz(4) (ISA=A64) E BR ) Kind Regards Zied Guermazi -- *Zied Guermazi* founder Trande UG Leuschnerstraße 2 69469 Weinheim/Germany Mobile: +491722645127 mailto:zied.guermazi@trande.de *Trande UG* Leuschnerstraße 2, D-69469 Weinheim; Telefon: +491722645127 Sitz der Gesellschaft: Weinheim- Registergericht: AG Mannheim HRB 736209 - Geschäftsführung: Zied Guermazi *Confidentiality Note* This message is intended only for the use of the named recipient(s) and may contain confidential and/or privileged information.

[PATCH v1 0/7] coresight: etm-perf: Fix pid tracing with VHE

by Leo Yan

This patch series is a following up for the previous version which was delivered by Suzuki [1]. Below gives the background info for why we need this patch series, directly quotes the description in the cover letter of the previous version: "With the Virtualization Host Extensions, the kernel can run at EL2. In this case the pid is written to CONTEXTIDR_EL2 instead of the CONTEXTIDR_EL1. Thus the normal coresight tracing will be unable to detect the PID of the thread generating the trace by looking at the CONTEXTIDR_EL1. Thus, depending on the kernel EL, we must switch to tracing the correct CONTEXTIDR register. With VHE, we must set the TRCCONFIGR.VMID and TRCCONFIGR.VMID_OPT to include the CONTEXTIDR_EL2 as the VMID in the trace. This requires the perf tool to detect the changes in the TRCCONFIGR and use the VMID / CID field for the PID. The challenge here is for the perf tool to detect the kernel behavior. Instead of the previously proposed invasive approaches, this set implements a less intrusive mechanism, by playing with the perf_event.attribute.config bits." Same as the previous series, this series keeps the same implementation for two introduced format bits: - contextid_in_vmid -> Is only supported when the VMID tracing and CONTEXTIDR_EL2 both are supported. When requested the perf etm4x backend sets (TRCCONFIGR.VMID | TRCCONFIGR.VMID_OPT). As per ETMv4.4 TRM, when the core supports VHE, the CONTEXTIDR_EL2 tracing is mandatory. (See the field TRCID2.VMIDOPT) - pid -> Is an alias for the correct config to enable PID tracing on any kernel. i.e, in EL1 kernel -> pid == contextid EL2 kernel -> pid == contextid_in_vmid With this, the perf tool is also updated to request the "pid" tracing whenever available, falling back to "contextid" if it is unavailable. Comparing against the old version, this patch series uses the metadata to save PID format; after add new item into metadata, it introduces backward compatibility issue. To allow backward compatibility, this series calculates per CPU metadata array size and avoid to use the defined macro, so can always know the correct array size based on the info stored in perf data file. Finally, the PID format stored in metadata is passed to decoder and guide the decoder to set PID from CONTEXTIDR_EL1 or VMID. This patch series has been tested on Arm Juno-r2 board, with testing two perf data files: one data file is recorded by the latest perf tool after applied this patch series, and another data file is recorded by old perf tool without this patch series, so this can prove the tool is backward compatible. 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).
