Subject: [PATCH v12 05/14] coresight: etm3x: fix inconsistencies with sysfs configuration
Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2026 18:33:43 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260924-separate_etm_cfg_v2-v12-5-a2b41d2f7c2b@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260924-separate_etm_cfg_v2-v12-0-a2b41d2f7c2b@arm.com>

The current ETM3x configuration via sysfs can lead to the following
inconsistencies:

  - If a configuration is modified via sysfs while a perf session is
    active, the running configuration may differ between before
    a sched-out and after a subsequent sched-in.

To resolve these issues, separate the configuration into:

  - curr_config: the configuration applied to the current session
  - config: the configuration set via sysfs

Additionally:

  - Since curr_config and related fields are accessed only by the local CPU
    in etm_enable/disable_sysfs_smp_call() (similar to perf enable/disable),
    remove the lock/unlock from the sysfs enable/disable path and
    starting/dying_cpu path except when to access config fields only.

  - Some of sysfs interface read etm register directly. To reduce lock
    scope while the etm_enable_hw()/etm_disable_hw(), handle it via
    IPI so that registers could be read from on proper CPU.
