Subject: [PATCH 0/8] coresight: Fix CTI module refcount leak by making it a helper device
Date: Wed, 8 Mar 2023 17:38:54 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230308173904.3449231-1-james.clark@arm.com> (raw)
Currently there is a refcount leak in CTI when using system wide mode
or tracing multithreaded applications. See the last commit for a
reproducer. This prevents the module from being unloaded.
Historically there have been a few issues and fixes attempted around
here which have resulted in some extra logic and a member to keep
track of CTI being enabled 'struct coresight_device->ect_enabled'.
The fix in commit 665c157e0204 ("coresight: cti: Fix hang in
cti_disable_hw()") was also related to CTI having its own
enable/disable path which came later than other devices.
If we make CTI a helper device and enable helper devices adjacent to
the path we get very similar enable/disable behavior to now, but with
more reuse of the existing reference counting logic in the coresight
core code. This also affects CATU which can have a little bit of
its hard coded enable/disable code removed.
Enabling CATU on the generic path does require that input connections
are tracked so that it can get its associated ETR buffer.
Applies to coresight/next (669c4614236a7) but also requires the
realloc_array patch here [1].
Also available in full here [2].
