Subject: [PATCH v10 0/8] fix several inconsistencies with sysfs configuration in etmX
Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2026 11:55:59 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260911-separate_etm_cfg_v2-v10-0-1b715d95927a@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.
