Subject: [PATCH] coresight: Fix crash when Perf and sysfs modes are used concurrently
Date: Fri,  6 Oct 2023 14:14:52 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20231006131452.646721-1-james.clark@arm.com> (raw)

Partially revert the change in commit 6148652807ba ("coresight: Enable
and disable helper devices adjacent to the path") which changed the bare
call from source_ops(csdev)->enable() to coresight_enable_source() for
Perf sessions. It was missed that coresight_enable_source() is
specifically for the sysfs interface, rather than being a generic call.
This interferes with the sysfs reference counting to cause the following
crash:

  $ perf record -e cs_etm/@tmc_etr0/ -C 0 &
  $ echo 1 > /sys/bus/coresight/devices/tmc_etr0/enable_sink
  $ echo 1 > /sys/bus/coresight/devices/etm0/enable_source
  $ echo 0 > /sys/bus/coresight/devices/etm0/enable_source

  Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual
  address 00000000000001d0

This commit linked below also fixes the issue, but has unlocked updates
to the mode which could potentially race. So until we come up with a
more complete solution that takes all locking and interaction between
both modes into account, just revert back to the old behavior for Perf.
