I would change the code as below. The point is to use a general flow for error handling, include a sink error. For sink error, we still invoke coresight_disable_path_from() for an empty operation. Also, I think we need an additional patch for error handling in coresight_enable_helpers().

Re: [PATCH 2/2] coresight: etm-perf: Add AUX_NON_CONTIGUOUS_PAGES to cs_etm PMU

Though contiguous pages are not mandatory for TRBE, I would set the PERF_PMU_CAP_AUX_NO_SG flag for it. This can potentially benefit performance. For non per CPU sinks, it is fine to allocate non-contiguous pages. Thanks, Leo > This patch adds the PERF_PMU_CAP_AUX_NON_CONTIGUOUS_PAGES capability > to the cs_etm PMU.

Because we already have PERF_PMU_CAP_AUX_NO_SG for devices that need contiguous pages. Then I found commit 5768402fd9c6 ("perf/ring_buffer: Use high order allocations for AUX buffers optimistically") that explains that the current allocation strategy is an optimization. Your change seems to decide that for certain devices we want to optimize for fragmentation rather than performance. If these are rarely used features specifically when looking at performance should we not continue to optimize for performance? Or at least make it user configurable? Thanks James

However, the sysfs spinlock does not ensure atomicity of the entire enable_etr_sink_sysfs() function execution. In this scenario, the perf session may preemptively call tmc_etr_enable_hw() to enable tmc-etr. Consequently, during race conditions, perf always prioritizes execution, and the sysfs_buf remains un-released, leading to memory leaks. Then this triggers a WARN_ON(drvdata->etr_buf) warning. This patch also addresses the issue described in [1], simplifying the setup and checks for "mode".

[PATCH v1 0/9] coresight: Fix and improve clock usage

by Leo Yan

This series fixes and improves clock usage in the Arm CoreSight drivers. Based on the DT binding documents, the trace clock (atclk) is defined in some CoreSight modules, but the corresponding drivers to support it are absent. In most cases, the issue is hidden because atclk is shared by multiple CoreSight modules and is enabled anyway by other drivers. The first three patches address this issue. The programming clock (pclk) management in CoreSight drivers does not use the devm_XXX() variant APIs, so the drivers needs to manually disable and release clocks for errors and for normal module exit. However, the drivers miss to disable clocks during module exit. Another issue is pclk might be enabled twice in init phase - once by AMBA bus driver, and again by CoreSight drivers. Patches 04 and 05 fix pclk issues. The atclk may also not be disabled in CoreSight drivers during module exit. This is fixed in patch 06. Patches 07 to 09 refactor the clock related code. Patch 07 makes the clock enabling sequence consistent. Patch 08 removes redundant condition checks and adds error handling in runtime PM. Patch 09 consolidats the clock initialization into a central place. This series is verified on Arm64 Hikey960 platform.

We could add a WARN_ON() but I think this is a general case and not specific to these patches so is probably better to do later as separate change.
