Subject: [PATCH] coresight: Fix data argument to coresight_enable_helpers
Date: Tue, 16 Sep 2025 15:44:41 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250916224441.3008824-1-carl@os.amperecomputing.com> (raw)
In the commit being fixed, coresight_enable_path() was changed to call
coresight_enable_helpers() with a final argument of 'path' rather than
'sink_data'. This was invalid, resulting in derefencing a pointer to
a 'struct coresight_path' as if it were a 'struct perf_output_handle'.
The compiler could not flag the error since there are several layers
of function calls treating the pointer as void*.
Fix to correctly pass the sink_data pointer as the final argument to
coresight_enable_helpers(), exactly as it was before the buggy commit.
Bug can be reproduced with:
$ perf record -e cs_etm//k -C 0-9 dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null
Showing an oops as follows:
[ 88.696535] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 000f6e84934ed19e
...
[ 88.911293] Call trace:

Fixes: 080ee83cc361 ("Coresight: Change functions to accept the coresight_path")
