With this commit [1] address range filter information is now found in the struct hw_perf_event::addr_filters. As such pass the event itself to the coresight_source::enable/disable() functions so that both event attribute and filter can be accessible for configuration.

The ETM registers are classified into 2 categories: trace and management. The core power domain contains most of the trace unit logic including all(except TRCOSLAR and TRCOSLSR) the trace registers. The debug power domain contains the external debugger interface including all management registers. This patch adds coresight unit specific function coresight_simple_func which can be used for ETM trace registers by providing a ETM specific read function which does smp cross call to ensure the trace core is powered up before the register is accessed.

The Coresight ETMv4 architecture provides a way to request to keep the power to the trace unit. This might help to collect the traces without the need to disable the CPU power management(entering/exiting deeper idle states). Trace PowerDown Control Register provides powerup request bit which when set requests the system to retain power to the trace unit and emulate the powerdown request. Typically, a trace unit drives a signal to the power controller to request that the trace unit core power domain is powered up. However, if the trace unit and the CPU are in the same power domain then the implementation might combine the trace unit power up status with a signal from the CPU. This patch requests to retain power to the trace unit when active and to remove when inactive. Note this change will only request but the behaviour depends on the implementation. However, it matches the exact behaviour expected when the external debugger is connected with respect to CPU power states.

Each coresight device prepares a description for coresight_register() in struct coresight_desc. Once we register the device, the description is useless and can be freed. The coresight_desc is small enough (48bytes on 64bit)i to be allocated on the stack. Hence use an automatic variable to avoid a needless dynamic allocation and wasting the memory(which will only be free'd when the device is destroyed).

Depending on when CoreSight device are discovered it is possible that some IP block may be referencing devices that have not been added to the bus yet. The end result is missing nodes in the CoreSight topology even when the devices are present and properly initialised. This patch solves the problem by asking the driver core to try initialising the device at a later time when the children of a CoreSight node are missing.

When we encounter a timeout waiting for a status change via coresight_timeout, the caller always print the offset which was tried. This is pretty much useless as it doesn't specify the bit position we wait for. Also, one needs to lookup the TRM to figure out, what was wrong. This patch changes all such error messages to print something more meaningful.

This patch cleans up the peripheral id table for different ETMv4 implementations. As per Cortex-A53 TRM, the ETM has following id values: Peripheral ID0 0x5D 0xFE0 Peripheral ID1 0xB9 0xFE4 Peripheral ID2 0x4B 0xFE8 Peripheral ID3 0x00 0xFEC where, PID2: has the following format: [7:4] Revision [3] JEDEC 0b1 res1. Indicates a JEP106 identity code is used [2:0] DES_1 0b011 ARM Limited. This is bits[6:4] of JEP106 ID code The existing table entry checks only the bits [1:0], which is not sufficient enough. Fix it to match bits [3:0], just like the other entries do. While at it, correct the comment for A57 and the A53 entry.

This is a cleanup patch. coresight_device->conns holds an array to point to the devices connected to the OUT ports of a component. Sinks, e.g ETR, do not have an OUT port (nr_outport = 0), as it streams the trace to memory via AXI. At coresight_register() we do : conns = kcalloc(csdev->nr_outport, sizeof(*conns), GFP_KERNEL); if (!conns) { ret = -ENOMEM; goto err_kzalloc_conns; } For ETR, since the total size requested for kcalloc is zero, the return value is, ZERO_SIZE_PTR ( != NULL). Hence, csdev->conns = ZERO_SIZE_PTR which cannot be verified later to contain a valid pointer. The code which accesses the csdev->conns is bounded by the csdev->nr_outport check, hence we don't try to dereference the ZERO_SIZE_PTR. This patch cleans up the csdev->conns initialisation to make sure we initialise it properly(i.e, either NULL or valid conns array).

etm4_trace_id is not guaranteed to be executed on the CPU whose ETM is being accessed. This leads to exception similar to below one if the CPU whose ETM is being accessed is in deeper idle states. So it must be executed on the CPU whose ETM is being accessed.

Further, the trace id that is computed in etm4_init_trace_id is programmed into TRCTRACEIDR only in etm4_enable_hw which happens much later in the sequence after coresight_id_match is executed from enable_source_store. This patch simplifies etm4_trace_id by returning the stashed trace id value similar to etm4_cpu_id.

lockdep reports possible circular locking dependency when udev is used for memory onlining: systemd-udevd/3996 is trying to acquire lock: ((memory_chain).rwsem){++++.+}, at: [<ffffffff810d137e>] __blocking_notifier_call_chain+0x4e/0xc0 but task is already holding lock: (&dm_device.ha_region_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffffa015382e>] hv_memory_notifier+0x5e/0xc0 [hv_balloon] ... which is probably a false positive because we take and release ha_region_mutex from memory notifier chain depending on the arg. No real deadlocks were reported so far (though I'm not really sure about preemptible kernels...) but we don't really need to hold the mutex for so long. We use it to protect ha_region_list (and its members) and the num_pages_onlined counter. None of these operations require us to sleep and nothing is slow, switch to using spinlock with interrupts disabled. While on it, replace list_for_each -> list_for_each_entry as we actually need entries in all these cases, drop meaningless list_empty() checks.

I'm observing the following hot add requests from the WS2012 host: hot_add_req: start_pfn = 0x108200 count = 330752 hot_add_req: start_pfn = 0x158e00 count = 193536 hot_add_req: start_pfn = 0x188400 count = 239616 As the host doesn't specify hot add regions we're trying to create 128Mb-aligned region covering the first request, we create the 0x108000 - 0x160000 region and we add 0x108000 - 0x158e00 memory. The second request passes the pfn_covered() check, we enlarge the region to 0x108000 - 0x190000 and add 0x158e00 - 0x188200 memory. The problem emerges with the third request as it starts at 0x188400 so there is a 0x200 gap which is not covered. As the end of our region is 0x190000 now it again passes the pfn_covered() check were we just adjust the covered_end_pfn and make it 0x188400 instead of 0x188200 which means that we'll try to online 0x188200-0x188400 pages but these pages were never assigned to us and we crash. We can't react to such requests by creating new hot add regions as it may happen that the whole suggested range falls into the previously identified 128Mb-aligned area so we'll end up adding nothing or create intersecting regions and our current logic doesn't allow that. Instead, create a list of such 'gaps' and check for them in the page online callback. Signed-off-by: Vitaly Kuznetsov <vkuznets@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: K. Y.

Windows 2012 (non-R2) does not specify hot add region in hot add requests and the logic in hot_add_req() is trying to find a 128Mb-aligned region covering the request. It may also happen that host's requests are not 128Mb aligned and the created ha_region will start before the first specified PFN. We can't online these non-present pages but we don't remember the real start of the region. This is a regression introduced by the commit 5abbbb75 ("Drivers: hv: hv_balloon: don't lose memory when onlining order is not natural"). While the idea of keeping the 'moving window' was wrong (as there is no guarantee that hot add requests come ordered) we should still keep track of covered_start_pfn. This is not a revert, the logic is different. Signed-off-by: Vitaly Kuznetsov <vkuznets@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: K. Y.

On Hyper-V, performance critical channels use the monitor mechanism to signal the host when the guest posts mesages for the host. This mechanism minimizes the hypervisor intercepts and also makes the host more efficient in that each time the host is woken up, it processes a batch of messages as opposed to just one. The goal here is improve the throughput and this is at the expense of increased latency. Implement a mechanism to let the client driver decide if latency is important. Signed-off-by: K. Y.

There is a rare race when we remove an entry from the global list hv_context.percpu_list[cpu] in hv_process_channel_removal() -> percpu_channel_deq() -> list_del(): at this time, if vmbus_on_event() -> process_chn_event() -> pcpu_relid2channel() is trying to query the list, we can get the kernel fault. Similarly, we also have the issue in the code path: vmbus_process_offer() -> percpu_channel_enq(). We can resolve the issue by disabling the tasklet when updating the list. The patch also moves vmbus_release_relid() to a later place where the channel has been removed from the per-cpu and the global lists.

Background: userspace daemons registration protocol for Hyper-V utilities drivers has two steps: 1) daemon writes its own version to kernel 2) kernel reads it and replies with module version at this point we consider the handshake procedure being completed and we do hv_poll_channel() transitioning the utility device to HVUTIL_READY state. At this point we're ready to handle messages from kernel. When hvutil_transport is in HVUTIL_TRANSPORT_CHARDEV mode we have a single buffer for outgoing message. hvutil_transport_send() puts to this buffer and till the buffer is cleared with hvt_op_read() returns -EFAULT to all consequent calls. Host<->guest protocol guarantees there is no more than one request at a time and we will not get new requests till we reply to the previous one so this single message buffer is enough. Now to the race. When we finish negotiation procedure and send kernel module version to userspace with hvutil_transport_send() it goes into the above mentioned buffer and if the daemon is slow enough to read it from there we can get a collision when a request from the host comes, we won't be able to put anything to the buffer so the request will be lost. To solve the issue we need to know when the negotiation is really done (when the version message is read by the daemon) and transition to HVUTIL_READY state after this happens. Implement a callback on read to support this. Old style netlink communication is not affected by the change, we don't really know when these messages are delivered but we don't have a single message buffer there.
