Subject: [PATCH v4 0/9] fix several inconsistencies with sysfs configuration in etmX
Date: Mon, 13 Apr 2026 15:19:53 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260413142003.3549310-1-yeoreum.yun@arm.com> (raw)
The current ETMx configuration via sysfs can lead to the following
inconsistencies:
- If a configuration is modified via sysfs while a perf session is
active, the running configuration may differ between before
a sched-out and after a subsequent sched-in.
- If a perf session and sysfs session tries to enable concurrently,
configuration from configfs could be corrupted (etm4).
- There is chance to corrupt drvdata->config if perf session tries
to enabled among handling cscfg_csdev_disable_active_config()
in etm4_disable_sysfs() (etm4).
To resolve these inconsistencies, the configuration should be separated into:
- active_config, which is applied configuration for the current session
- config, which stores the settings configured via sysfs.
and apply configuration from configfs after taking a mode.
This patch based on v7.0
Patch History
=============
from v3 to v4:
- change etm_drvdata->spinlock type to raw_spin_lock_t
- remove redundant call etmX_enable_hw() with starting_cpu() callsback.
- fix missing trace id release.
- add missing docs.
- https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260412175506.412301-1-yeoreum.yun@arm.com/
from v2 to v3:
- fix build error for etm3x.
- fix checkpatch warning.
- https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260410074310.2693385-1-yeoreum.yun@arm.com/
from v1 to v2
- rebased to v7.0-rc7.
- introduce etmX_caps structure to save etmX's capabilities.
- remove ss_status from etmv4_config.
- modify active_config after taking a mode (perf/sysfs).
