[PATCH 26/63] perf cs-etm: Correct packets swapping in cs_etm__flush()

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: Leo Yan <leo.yan@linaro.org>

The structure cs_etm_queue uses 'prev_packet' to point to previous
packet, this can be used to combine with new coming packet to generate
samples.

In function cs_etm__flush() it swaps packets only when the flag
'etm->synth_opts.last_branch' is true, this means that it will not swap
packets if without option '--itrace=il' to generate last branch entries;
thus for this case the 'prev_packet' doesn't point to the correct
previous packet and the stale packet still will be used to generate
sequential sample.  Thus if dump trace with 'perf script' command we can
see the incorrect flow with the stale packet's address info.

This patch corrects packets swapping in cs_etm__flush(); except using
the flag 'etm->synth_opts.last_branch' it also checks the another flag
'etm->sample_branches', if any flag is true then it swaps packets so can
save correct content to 'prev_packet'.  Finally this can fix the wrong
program flow dumping issue.

The patch has a minor refactoring to use 'etm->synth_opts.last_branch'
instead of 'etmq->etm->synth_opts.last_branch' for condition checking,
this is consistent with that is done in cs_etm__sample().

[PATCH 27/63] perf cs-etm: Avoid stale branch samples when flush packet

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: Leo Yan <leo.yan@linaro.org>

At the end of trace buffer handling, function cs_etm__flush() is invoked
to flush any remaining branch stack entries.  As a side effect, it also
generates branch sample, because the 'etmq->packet' doesn't contains any
new coming packet but point to one stale packet after packets swapping,
so it wrongly makes synthesize branch samples with stale packet info.

We could review below detailed flow which causes issue:

  Packet1: start_addr=0xffff000008b1fbf0 end_addr=0xffff000008b1fbfc
  Packet2: start_addr=0xffff000008b1fb5c end_addr=0xffff000008b1fb6c

  step 1: cs_etm__sample():
	sample: ip=(0xffff000008b1fbfc-4) addr=0xffff000008b1fb5c

  step 2: flush packet in cs_etm__run_decoder():
	cs_etm__run_decoder()
	  `-> err = cs_etm__flush(etmq, false);
	sample: ip=(0xffff000008b1fb6c-4) addr=0xffff000008b1fbf0

Packet1 and packet2 are two continuous packets, when packet2 is the new
coming packet, cs_etm__sample() generates branch sample for these two
packets and use [packet1::end_addr - 4 => packet2::start_addr] as branch
jump flow, thus we can see the first generated branch sample in step 1.
At the end of cs_etm__sample() it swaps packets so 'etm->prev_packet'=
packet2 and 'etm->packet'=packet1, so far it's okay for branch sample.

If packet2 is the last one packet in trace buffer, even there have no
any new coming packet, cs_etm__run_decoder() invokes cs_etm__flush() to
flush branch stack entries as expected, but it also generates branch
samples by taking 'etm->packet' as a new coming packet, thus the branch
jump flow is as [packet2::end_addr - 4 =>  packet1::start_addr]; this
is the second sample which is generated in step 2.  So actually the
second sample is a stale sample and we should not generate it.

This patch introduces a new function cs_etm__end_block(), at the end of
trace block this function is invoked to only flush branch stack entries
and thus can avoid to generate branch sample for stale packet.

[PATCH 28/63] perf cs-etm: Remove unused 'trace_on' in cs_etm_decoder

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: Leo Yan <leo.yan@linaro.org>

cs_etm_decoder::trace_on is being assigned when TRACE_ON or NO_SYNC
element is coming, but it is never used hence it is redundant and can
be removed.

So let's remove 'trace_on' field from cs_etm_decoder struct.

[PATCH 29/63] perf cs-etm: Refactor enumeration cs_etm_sample_type

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: Leo Yan <leo.yan@linaro.org>

The values in enumeration cs_etm_sample_type are defined with setting
bit N for each packet type, this is not suggested in the usual case.

This patch refactor cs_etm_sample_type by converting from bit shifting
values to continuous numbers.

[PATCH 30/63] perf cs-etm: Rename CS_ETM_TRACE_ON to CS_ETM_DISCONTINUITY

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: Leo Yan <leo.yan@linaro.org>

TRACE_ON element is used at the beginning of trace, it also can be
appeared in the middle of trace data to indicate discontinuity; for
example, it's possible to see multiple TRACE_ON elements in the trace
stream if the trace is being limited by address range filtering.

Furthermore, except TRACE_ON element is for discontinuity, NO_SYNC and
EO_TRACE also can be used to indicate discontinuity, though they are
used for different scenarios for which the trace is interrupted.

This patch renames sample type CS_ETM_TRACE_ON to CS_ETM_DISCONTINUITY,
firstly the new name describes more closely the purpose of the packet;
secondly this is a preparation for other output elements which also
cause the trace discontinuity thus they can share the same one packet
type.

[PATCH 31/63] perf cs-etm: Treat NO_SYNC element as trace discontinuity

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: Leo Yan <leo.yan@linaro.org>

The CoreSight tracer driver might insert barrier packets between
different buffers, thus the decoder can spot the boundaries based on the
barrier packet; it is possible for the decoder to hit a barrier packet
and emit a NO_SYNC element, then the decoder will find a periodic
synchronisation point inside that next trace block that starts the trace
again but does not have the TRACE_ON element as indicator - usually
because this trace block has wrapped the buffer so we have lost the
original point when the trace was enabled.

In the first case it causes the insertion of a OCSD_GEN_TRC_ELEM_NO_SYNC
in the middle of the tracing stream, but as we were not handling the
NO_SYNC element properly this ends up making users miss the
discontinuity indications.

Though OCSD_GEN_TRC_ELEM_NO_SYNC is different from CS_ETM_TRACE_ON when
output from the decoder, both indicate that the trace data is
discontinuous; this patch treats OCSD_GEN_TRC_ELEM_NO_SYNC as a trace
discontinuity and generates a CS_ETM_DISCONTINUITY packet for it, so
cs-etm can handle the discontinuity for this case, finally it saves the
last trace data for the previous trace block and restart samples for the
new block.

[PATCH 32/63] perf cs-etm: Treat EO_TRACE element as trace discontinuity

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: Leo Yan <leo.yan@linaro.org>

If the decoder outputs an EO_TRACE element, it means the end of the
trace buffer; this is a discontinuity and in this case the end of trace
data needs to be saved.

This patch generates a CS_ETM_DISCONTINUITY packet for the EO_TRACE
element hereby flushing the end of trace data in cs-etm.c.

[PATCH 33/63] perf cs-etm: Generate branch sample for exception packet

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: Leo Yan <leo.yan@linaro.org>

The exception packet appears as one element with 'elem_type' ==
OCSD_GEN_TRC_ELEM_EXCEPTION or OCSD_GEN_TRC_ELEM_EXCEPTION_RET, which is
present for exception entry and exit respectively.  The decoder sets the
packet fields 'packet->exc' and 'packet->exc_ret' to indicate the
exception packets; but exception packets don't have a dedicated sample
type and shares the same sample type CS_ETM_RANGE with normal
instruction packets.

As a result, the exception packets are taken as normal instruction
packets and this introduces confusion in mixing different packet types.
Furthermore, these instruction range packets will be processed for
branch samples only when 'packet->last_instr_taken_branch' is true,
otherwise they will be omitted, this can introduce a mess for exception
and exception returning due to not having the complete address range
info for context switching.

To process exception packets properly, this patch introduces two new
sample types: CS_ETM_EXCEPTION and CS_ETM_EXCEPTION_RET; these two types
of packets will be handled by cs_etm__exception().  The function
cs_etm__exception() forces setting the previous CS_ETM_RANGE packet flag
'prev_packet->last_instr_taken_branch' to true, this matches well with
the program flow when the exception is trapped from user space to kernel
space, no matter if the most recent flow has branch taken or not; this
is also safe for returning to user space after exception handling.

After exception packets have their own sample type, the packet fields
'packet->exc' and 'packet->exc_ret' aren't needed anymore, so remove
them.
