James Clark 8c60acbcb9 coresight: Don't immediately close events that are run on invalid CPU/sink combos ... When a traced process runs on a CPU that can't reach the selected sink, the event will be stopped with PERF_HES_STOPPED. This means that even if the process migrates to a valid CPU, tracing will not resume. This can be reproduced (on N1SDP) by using taskset to start the process on CPU 0, and then switching it to CPU 2 (ETF 1 is only reachable from CPU 2): taskset --cpu-list 0 ./perf record -e cs_etm/@tmc_etf1/ --per-thread -- taskset --cpu-list 2 ls This produces a single 0 length AUX record, and then no more trace: 0x3c8 [0x30]: PERF_RECORD_AUX offset: 0 size: 0 flags: 0x1 [T] After the fix, the same command produces normal AUX records. The perf self test "89: Check Arm CoreSight trace data recording and synthesized samples" no longer fails intermittently. This was because the taskset in the test is after the fork, so there is a period where the task is scheduled on a random CPU rather than forced to a valid one. Specifically selecting an invalid CPU will still result in a failure to open the event because it will never produce trace: ./perf record -C 2 -e cs_etm/@tmc_etf0/ failed to mmap with 12 (Cannot allocate memory) The only scenario that has changed is if the CPU mask has a valid CPU sink combo in it. Testing ======= * Coresight self test passes consistently: ./perf test Coresight * CPU wide mode still produces trace: ./perf record -e cs_etm// -a * Invalid -C options still fail to open: ./perf record -C 2,3 -e cs_etm/@tmc_etf0/ failed to mmap with 12 (Cannot allocate memory) * Migrating a task to a valid sink/CPU now produces trace: taskset --cpu-list 0 ./perf record -e cs_etm/@tmc_etf1/ --per-thread -- taskset --cpu-list 2 ls * If the task remains on an invalid CPU, no trace is emitted: taskset --cpu-list 0 ./perf record -e cs_etm/@tmc_etf1/ --per-thread -- ls Reviewed-by: Suzuki K Poulose <suzuki.poulose@arm.com> Signed-off-by: James Clark <james.clark@arm.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210922125144.133872-2-james.clark@arm.com Signed-off-by: Suzuki K Poulose <suzuki.poulose@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Mathieu Poirier <mathieu.poirier@linaro.org>		2021-10-27 11:45:01 -06:00
