Subject: [PATCH] coresight: tmc: Fix overflow when calculating is bigger than 2GiB
Date: Tue, 17 Feb 2026 13:19:43 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260217-arm_coresight_fix_big_buffer_size-v1-1-774e893d8e3f@arm.com> (raw)
When specifying a 2GB AUX buffer, the ETR driver ends up allocating only
a 1MB buffer instead:
# echo 'file coresight-tmc-etr.c +p' > \
/sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control
# perf record -e cs_etm/@tmc_etr0,timestamp=0/u -C 0 -m ,2G -- test
coresight tmc_etr0: allocated buffer of size 1024KB in mode 0
The page index is an 'int' type, and shifting it by PAGE_SHIFT overflows
when the resulting value exceeds 2GB. This produces a negative value,
causing the driver to fall back to the minimum buffer size (1MB).
Cast the page index to a wider type to accommodate large buffer sizes.
Also fix a similar issue in the buffer offset calculation.

Fixes: 99443ea19e8b ("coresight: Add generic TMC sg table framework")
Fixes: eebe8dbd8630 ("coresight: tmc: Decouple the perf buffer allocation from sysfs mode")
