[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>

[PATCH v8 00/13] coresight: Update timestamp attribute to be an interval instead of bool

by James Clark

Do some cleanups then expand the timestamp format attribute from 1 bit to 4 bits for ETMv4 in Perf mode. The current interval is too high for most use cases, and particularly on the FVP the number of timestamps generated is excessive. This change not only still allows disabling or enabling timestamps, but also allows the interval to be configured. The old bit is kept deprecated and undocumented for now. There are known broken versions of Perf that don't read the format attribute positions from sysfs and instead hard code the timestamp bit. We can leave the old bit in the driver until we need the bit for another feature or enough time has passed that these old Perfs are unlikely to be used. The interval option is added as an event format attribute, rather than a Coresight config because it's something that the driver is already configuring automatically in Perf mode using any unused counter, so it's not possible to modify this with a config. Applies to coresight/next Signed-off-by: James Clark <james.clark(a)linaro.org> --- Changes in v8: - Handle ts_level attribute outside etm4_config_timestamp_event() (Mike) - Flip commits 11 and 12 so that the new attribute works as soon as it's published to sysfs for bisecting (Suzuki) - Remove some spurious header includes - Link to v7: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251126-james-cs-syncfreq-v7-0-7fae5e0e5e16@lina… Changes in v7: - Change TRCCNTCTLRn and TRCTSCTLR register definitions to use a combined field for TYPE and SEL (EVENT) so that they can be used with the new utilities. - Add utility functions for creating resource selectors that do compile and runtime checking of the resource selector ID. - Link to v6: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251119-james-cs-syncfreq-v6-0-740d24a29e51@lina… Changes in v6: - #ifdef out format attributes for ETMv3 instead of using is_visible().

[PATCH v4 0/3] Coresight TMC-ETR: refactor the tmc-etr mode and some cleanups

by Junhao He

This patchset builds upon Yicong's previous patches [1]. Patch 2 introducing fix race issues found by using TMC-ETR. Patch 1 & 3 introducing two cleanups found when debugging the issues. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20241202092419.11777-1-yangyicong@… --- Changes in v4: - a) Add comment at the context of set etr to sysfs mode. - b) Move the check on drvdata->read to the start of enable etr. - c) Add checks to prevent multiple sysfs processes from simultaneously competing to enable ETR. - d) Fix the issue with the guard used. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20250818080600.418425-1-hejunhao3@… --- Changes in v3: - Patches 1: Additional comment for tmc_drvdata::etr_mode. Update comment for tmc_drvdata::reading with Jonathan's Tag. - Patches 2: Replace scoped_guard with guard with Jonathan's Tag. - Patches 2: Fix spinlock to raw_spinlock, and refactor this code based on Leo's suggested solution. - Patches 3: change the size's type to ssize_t and use max_t to simplify the code with Leo's Tag. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20250620075412.952934-1-hejunhao3@… Changes in v2: - Updated the commit of patch2. - Rebase to v6.16-rc1 Junhao He (1): coresight: tmc: refactor the tmc-etr mode setting to avoid race conditions Yicong Yang (2): coresight: tmc: Add missing doc including reading and etr_mode of struct tmc_drvdata coresight: tmc: Decouple the perf buffer allocation from sysfs mode .../hwtracing/coresight/coresight-tmc-etr.c | 136 +++++++++--------- drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-tmc.h | 2 + 2 files changed, 66 insertions(+), 72 deletions(-) -- 2.33.0
