[PATCH v9 0/4] Add a few tracepoints to panthor

[PATCH v9 0/4] Add a few tracepoints to panthor

[Nicolas Frattaroli]

This series adds two tracepoints to panthor.

The first tracepoint allows for inspecting the power status of the
hardware subdivisions, e.g. how many shader cores are powered on. This
is done by reading three hardware registers when a certain IRQ fires.

The second tracepoint instruments panthor's job IRQ handler. This is
more useful than the generic interrupt tracing functionality, as the
tracepoint has the events bit mask included, which indicates which
command stream group interfaces triggered the interrupt.

To test the tracepoints, the following can be used:

  :~# echo 1 > /sys/kernel/tracing/events/panthor/gpu_power_status/enable
  :~# echo 1 > /sys/kernel/tracing/events/panthor/gpu_job_irq/enable
  :~# echo 1 > /sys/kernel/tracing/tracing_on
  :~# cat /sys/kernel/tracing/trace_pipe

Changes in v9:
- Rebase onto drm-tip 2026y-01m-14d-17h-09m-04s
- Move the mask to pirq->mask change in the suspended refactor patch to
  the follow-up patch
- Move the INT_MASK restoration changes in the suspended refactor patch
  to the follow-up patch
- Move panthor_irq::mask_lock member right below the mask member
- panthor/mmu: Remove the enable_events calls before resume, as they're
  redundant
- panthor/mmu: Rework the AS fault clearing logic. Drop the spurious
  disable_events in panthor_vm_active, but use
  disable_events/enable_events in as_disable/as_enable respectively. This
  requires doing a forward declaration of the panthor_mmu_irq_handler to
  get a definition of the helpers before it itself is defined. This
  works out great, because it means I also no longer have to move the
  entire panthor_vm_active function down some.
- Drop an accidentally added redundant empty line
- Link to v8: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260112-panthor-tracepoints-v8-0-63efcb421d22@collabora.com

Changes in v8:
- Reorder panthor_irq::state patch to be before the new mask
  modification helpers. The full set of states was kept (rather than
  just active/suspended) as they don't hurt and make the follow-up patch
  more concise in scope.
- Also bail out on STATE_SUSPENDING in irq_raw_handler
- Job irq: initialize start to 0 and don't emit a tracepoint if it is 0,
  to fix passing an uninitialised stack variable to userspace if the
  tracepoint was enabled while the handler was running
- Link to v7: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260108-panthor-tracepoints-v7-0-afeae181f74a@collabora.com

Changes in v7:
- Get rid of old resume IRQ helper by reworking code throughout panthor,
  and make what used to be resume_restore in v6 the new resume.
- Rename mask_enable/mask_disable to enable_events/disable_events.
- Turn panthor_irq::suspended into a multi-state value, and utilise it
  in the IRQ helpers as appropriate.
- Link to v6: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251223-panthor-tracepoints-v6-0-d3c998ee9efc@collabora.com

Changes in v6:
- Read the mask member into a local while holding the lock in
  irq_threaded_handler.
- Drop the lock before entering the while loop, letting the threaded
  handler function run without holding a spinlock
- Re-acquire the spinlock at the end of irq_threaded_handler, OR'ing the
  mask register's contents with the mask local ANDed by the member. This
  avoids stomping over any other modified bits, or restoring ones that
  have been disabled in the meantime.
- Link to v5: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251221-panthor-tracepoints-v5-0-889ef78165d8@collabora.com

Changes in v5:
- Change the panthor IRQ helpers to guard the mask member and register
  with a spinlock. The rationale behind using a spinlock, rather than
  some constellation of atomics, is that we have to guarantee mutual
  exclusion for state beyond just a single value, namely both the register
  write, and writes to/reads from the mask member, including
  reads-from-member-writes-to-register. Making the mask atomic does not do
  anything to avoid concurrency issues in such a case.
- Change the IRQ mask member to not get zeroed when suspended. It's
  possible something outside of the IRQ helpers depends on this
  behaviour, but I'd argue the code should not access the mask outside
  of the IRQ helpers, as it'll do so with no lock taken.
- Drop the mask_set function, but add mask_enable/mask_disable helpers
  to enable/disable individual parts of the IRQ mask.
- Add a resume_restore IRQ helper that does the same thing as resume,
  but does not overwrite the mask member. This avoids me having to
  refactor whatever panthor_mmu.c is doing with that poor mask member.
- Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251217-panthor-tracepoints-v4-0-916186cb8d03@collabora.com

Changes in v4:
- Include "panthor_hw.h" in panthor_trace.h instead of duplicating the
  reg/unreg function prototypes.
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251211-panthor-tracepoints-v3-0-924c9d356a5c@collabora.com

Changes in v3:
- Drop PWRFEATURES patch, as this register is no longer needed by this
  series.
- Eliminate the rt_on field from the gpu_power_status register, as per
  Steven Price's feedback.
- Make gpu_power_status tracepoint reg/unreg functions generic across
  hardware generations by wrapping a hw op in panthor_hw.c.
- Reimplement the <= v13 IRQ mask modification functions as the new hw
  ops functions. v14 can add its own ops in due time.
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251210-panthor-tracepoints-v2-0-ace2e29bad0f@collabora.com

Changes in v2:
- Only enable the GPU_IRQ_POWER_CHANGED_* IRQ mask bits when the
  tracepoint is enabled. Necessitates the new irq helper patch.
- Only enable the GPU_IRQ_POWER_CHANGED_* IRQ mask bits if the hardware
  architecture is <= v13, as v14 changes things.
- Use _READY instead of _PWRACTIVE registers, and rename the tracepoint
  accordingly.
- Also read the status of the ray tracing unit's power. This is a global
  flag for all shader cores, it seems. Necessitates the new register
  definition patch.
- Move the POWER_CHANGED_* check to earlier in the interrupt handler.
- Also listen to POWER_CHANGED, not just POWER_CHANGED_ALL, as this
  provides useful information with the _READY registers.
- Print the device name in both tracepoints, to disambiguate things on
  systems with multiple Mali GPUs.
- Document the gpu_power_status tracepoint, so the meaning of the fields
  is made clear.

[PATCH v9 1/4] drm/panthor: Rework panthor_irq::suspended into panthor_irq::state

[Nicolas Frattaroli]

To deal with the threaded interrupt handler and a suspend action
overlapping, the boolean panthor_irq::suspended is not sufficient.

Rework it into taking several different values depending on the current
state, and check it and set it within the IRQ helper functions.

I was imagining something like:

	if (!gpu_read(ptdev, __reg_prefix ## _INT_STAT))
  		return IRQ_NONE;
	
	old_state = atomic_cmpxchg(&pirq->state,
				   PANTHOR_IRQ_STATE_ACTIVE,
				   PANTHOR_IRQ_STATE_PROCESSING);
	if (old_state != PANTHOR_IRQ_STATE_ACTIVE)
		return IRQ_NONE;

such that the processing phase starts as soon as we know we're going to
wake up the irq thread, not when we enter the threaded handler.

I think this is better done in the raw_handler (see above).

Similarly, I think I'd go for

	old_state = atomic_cmpxchg(&pirq->state,
				   PANTHOR_IRQ_STATE_PROCESSING,
				   PANTHOR_IRQ_STATE_ACTIVE);
	if (old_state == PANTHOR_IRQ_STATE_PROCESSING)

[PATCH v9 2/4] drm/panthor: Extend IRQ helpers for mask modification/restoration

[Nicolas Frattaroli]

The current IRQ helpers do not guarantee mutual exclusion that covers
the entire transaction from accessing the mask member and modifying the
mask register.

This makes it hard, if not impossible, to implement mask modification
helpers that may change one of these outside the normal
suspend/resume/isr code paths.

Add a spinlock to struct panthor_irq that protects both the mask member
and register. Acquire it in all code paths that access these, but drop
it before processing the threaded handler function. Then, add the
aforementioned new helpers: enable_events, and disable_events. They work
by ORing and NANDing the mask bits.

resume is changed to no longer have a mask passed, as pirq->mask is
supposed to be the user-requested mask now, rather than a mirror of the
INT_MASK register contents. Users of the resume helper are adjusted
accordingly, including a rather painful refactor in panthor_mmu.c.

In panthor_mmu.c, the bespoke mask modification is excised, and replaced
with enable_events/disable_events in as_enable/as_disable.

That's me being old school, but I prefer to have a scoped_guard()
around the INT_MASK write happening at the end to reflect exactly the
data you're protecting against concurrent access. Unless mask_lock also
covers the state changes, in which case the documentation should
reflect that.


Also, _irqsave() in an interrupt context is redundant, I think, but
it's less of an issue, I guess.

Okay, it seems like it's the <mask,state> pair the lock protects.
There's probably a good reason which I'm missing, so it's probably
worth adding a comment somewhere to explain the locking scheme.

We don't change the mask after initialization AFAICT, so I'm not sure
this _enable_events() is needed.

I'd move that at the end, when everything else in this function
succeeded.

I guess we need a _diable_events(mask) to replace this.

The reason why I try to do state changes inside the lock rather than
keeping the critical section to a minimum is that it reduces the number
of <mask,state> combinations that are visible to other code paths to
a minimum. If I didn't do it here for example, I'd have to deal with
the cognitive load of a situation where one thread is going through
_suspend, and I need to make sure that no matter the order the state
changes become visible to this thread, we don't misbehave.

I'm fairly sure that example would be okay in this case, but the
problem is more that I have to think about it at all. Doing a state
change within the lock means that we know we're not going to spin
at the lock after already proclaiming to the world that our state
changed. Similarly, doing it within the lock rather than after the
lock means that we won't get an inopportune interleave with something
else after modifying the mask and dropping the lock but before changing
the state atomic.

Saying that the lock protects the state atomic also isn't 100% true
because suspend writes to it outside the lock. It's allowed to do that
as a SUSPENDING->SUSPENDED transition that isn't mutually exclusive
with someone else doing mask related things is fine, as we're
already done with the mask by then, and nobody will mess with it
if we're SUSPENDING.

The mask is initialized to 0. I think I can drop this, as long as it's
fine that the mask bits are enabled as soon as the IRQ is requested,
since the IRQ request helper resumes it.

That would be a functional change from what the behaviour was prior to
moving disable_events into as_disable.

Nope! It lives in as_disable now, which is called a bit further down
(outside of the patch context window. Maybe I should play with b4's
settings to ensure the end of functions is visible in the context).

Okay, makes sense. Can we document that somewhere, maybe something like this
added to the mask_lock doc?

+       /**
+        * @mask_lock: protects modifications to _INT_MASK and @mask.
+        *

Hm, I don't see a situation where _INT_MASK should be written when
the state is not PANTHOR_IRQ_STATE_ACTIVE. If I'm correct, we can
probably go for something like this:

	/* The only situation where we need to write the new mask is if the IRQ is active.      \
         * If it's being processed, the mask will be restored for us in _irq_threaded_handler() \
         * on the PROCESSING -> ACTIVE transition.                                              \
         * If the IRQ is suspended/suspending, the mask is restored at resume time.             \
         */                                                                                     \
        if (atomic_read(&pirq->state) == PANTHOR_IRQ_STATE_ACTIVE)                              \
                gpu_write(pirq->ptdev, __reg_prefix ## _INT_MASK, pirq->mask);                  \

Ah right. We should keep the panthor_job_irq_enable_events() here, my bad.

Fair enough. The rational here was that we would disable fault events
before even knowing if the disable-AS operation passed, but I guess
this sort of situation will lead to a GPU reset, and that's also the
order we're doing it right now, so I guess we're good.

[PATCH v9 3/4] drm/panthor: Add tracepoint for hardware utilisation changes

[Nicolas Frattaroli]

Mali GPUs have three registers that indicate which parts of the hardware
are powered at any moment. These take the form of bitmaps. In the case
of SHADER_READY for example, a high bit indicates that the shader core
corresponding to that bit index is powered on. These bitmaps aren't
solely contiguous bits, as it's common to have holes in the sequence of
shader core indices, and the actual set of which cores are present is
defined by the "shader present" register.

When the GPU finishes a power state transition, it fires a
GPU_IRQ_POWER_CHANGED_ALL interrupt. After such an interrupt is
received, the _READY registers will contain new interesting data. During
power transitions, the GPU_IRQ_POWER_CHANGED interrupt will fire, and
the registers will likewise contain potentially changed data.

This is not to be confused with the PWR_IRQ_POWER_CHANGED_ALL interrupt,
which is something related to Mali v14+'s power control logic. The
_READY registers and corresponding interrupts are already available in
v9 and onwards.

Expose the data as a tracepoint to userspace. This allows users to debug
various scenarios and gather interesting information, such as: knowing
how much hardware is lit up at any given time, correlating graphics
corruption with a specific powered shader core, measuring when hardware
is allowed to go to a powered off state again, and so on.

The registration/unregistration functions for the tracepoint go through
a wrapper in panthor_hw.c, so that v14+ can implement the same
tracepoint by adding its hardware specific IRQ on/off callbacks to the
panthor_hw.ops member.

[PATCH v9 4/4] drm/panthor: Add gpu_job_irq tracepoint

[Nicolas Frattaroli]

Mali's CSF firmware triggers the job IRQ whenever there's new firmware
events for processing. While this can be a global event (BIT(31) of the
status register), it's usually an event relating to a command stream
group (the other bit indices).

Panthor throws these events onto a workqueue for processing outside the
IRQ handler. It's therefore useful to have an instrumented tracepoint
that goes beyond the generic IRQ tracepoint for this specific case, as
it can be augmented with additional data, namely the events bit mask.

This can then be used to debug problems relating to GPU jobs events not
being processed quickly enough. The duration_ns field can be used to
work backwards from when the tracepoint fires (at the end of the IRQ
handler) to figure out when the interrupt itself landed, providing not
just information on how long the work queueing took, but also when the
actual interrupt itself arrived.

With this information in hand, the IRQ handler itself being slow can be
excluded as a possible source of problems, and attention can be directed
to the workqueue processing instead.
