This patch series is rebased on coresight-next-v6.10. Changelog from v8: * Added missing exit path on error in __tmc_probe. * Few whitespace fixes, checkpatch fixes. * With perf sessions honouring stop_on_flush sysfs attribute, removed redundant variable stop_on_flush_en. Changelog from v7: * Fixed breakage on perf test -vvvv "arm coresight". No issues seen with and without "resrv" buffer mode * Moved the crashdev registration into a seperate function. * Removed redundant variable in tmc_etr_setup_crashdata_buf * Avoided a redundant memcpy in tmc_panic_sync_etf. * Tested kernel panic with trace session started uisng perf. Please see the title "Perf based testing" below for details. For this, stop_on_flush sysfs attribute is taken into consideration while starting perf sessions as well. Changelog from v6: * Added special device files for reading crashdata, so that read_prevboot mode flag is removed. * Added new sysfs TMC device attribute, stop_on_flush. Stop on flush trigger event is disabled by default. User need to explicitly enable this from sysfs for panic stop to work. * Address parameter for panicstop ETM configuration is chosen as kernel "panic" address by default. * Added missing tmc_wait_for_tmcready during panic handling * Few other misc code rearrangements. Changelog from v5: * Fixed issues reported by CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP * Fixed a memory leak while reading data from /dev/tmc_etrx in READ_PREVBOOT mode * Tested reading trace data from crashdump kernel Changelog from v4: * Device tree binding - Description is made more explicit on the usage of reserved memory region - Mismatch in memory region names in dts binding and driver fixed - Removed "mem" suffix from the memory region names * Rename "struct tmc_register_snapshot" -> "struct tmc_crash_metadata", since it contains more than register snapshot. Related variables are named accordingly. * Rename struct tmc_drvdata members resrv_buf -> crash_tbuf metadata -> crash_mdata * Size field in metadata refers to RSZ register and hence indicates the size in 32 bit words. ETR metadata follows this convention, the same has been extended to ETF metadata as well. * Added crc32 for more robust metadata and tracedata validation. * Added/modified dev_dbg messages during metadata validation * Fixed a typo in patch 5 commit description Changelog from v3: * Converted the Coresight ETM driver change to a named configuration. RFC tag has been removed with this change. * Fixed yaml issues reported by "make dt_binding_check" * Added names for reserved memory regions 0 and 1 * Added prevalidation checks for metadata processing * Fixed a regression introduced in RFC v3 - TMC Status register was getting saved wrongly * Reverted memremap attribute changes from _WB to _WC to match with the dma map attributes * Introduced reserved buffer mode specific .sync op. This fixes a possible crash when reserved buffer mode was used in normal trace capture, due to unwanted dma maintenance operations. v8 is posted here: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240531042745.494222-4-lcherian@marvell.com/T/ Using Coresight for Kernel panic and Watchdog reset =================================================== This patch series is about extending Linux coresight driver support to address kernel panic and watchdog reset scenarios. This would help coresight users to debug kernel panic and watchdog reset using coresight trace data. Coresight trace capture: Kernel panic ------------------------------------- From the coresight driver point of view, addressing the kernel panic situation has four main requirements. a. Support for allocation of trace buffer pages from reserved memory area. Platform can advertise this using a new device tree property added to relevant coresight nodes. b. Support for stopping coresight blocks at the time of panic c. Saving required metadata in the specified format d. Support for reading trace data captured at the time of panic Allocation of trace buffer pages from reserved RAM ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A new optional device tree property "memory-region" is added to the ETR/ETF device nodes, that would give the base address and size of trace buffer. Static allocation of trace buffers would ensure that both IOMMU enabled and disabled cases are handled. Also, platforms that support persistent RAM will allow users to read trace data in the subsequent boot without booting the crashdump kernel. Note: For ETR sink devices, this reserved region will be used for both trace capture and trace data retrieval. For ETF sink devices, internal SRAM would be used for trace capture, and they would be synced to reserved region for retrieval. Note: Patches 1 & 2 adds support for this. Disabling coresight blocks at the time of panic ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In order to avoid the situation of losing relevant trace data after a kernel panic, it would be desirable to stop the coresight blocks at the time of panic. This can be achieved by configuring the comparator, CTI and sink devices as below, Comparator(triggers on kernel panic) --->External out --->CTI -- | ETR/ETF stop <------External In <-------------- Note: * Patch 6 provides the necessary ETR configuration. * Patch 7 provides the necessary ETM configuration. Saving metadata at the time of kernel panic ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Coresight metadata involves all additional data that are required for a successful trace decode in addition to the trace data. This involves ETR/ETF, ETE register snapshot etc. A new optional device property "memory-region" is added to the ETR/ETF/ETE device nodes for this. Note: Patches 3 & 4 adds support for this. Reading trace data captured at the time of panic ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Trace data captured at the time of panic, can be read from rebooted kernel or from crashdump kernel using the below mentioned interface. Note: Patch 5 adds support for this. Steps for reading trace data captured in previous boot ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1. cd /sys/bus/coresight/devices/tmc_etrXX/ 2. Dump trace buffer crashdata to a file, #dd if=/dev/crash_tmc_etrXX of=~/cstrace.bin General flow of trace capture and decode incase of kernel panic ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1. Enable source and sink on all the cores using the sysfs interface. ETR sink will have trace buffers allocated from reserved memory, by selecting "resrv" buffer mode from sysfs. 2. Run relevant tests. 3. On a kernel panic, all coresight blocks are disabled, necessary metadata is synced by kernel panic handler. System would eventually reboot or boot a crashdump kernel. 4. For platforms that supports crashdump kernel, raw trace data can be dumped using the coresight sysfs interface from the crashdump kernel itself. Persistent RAM is not a requirement in this case. 5. For platforms that supports persistent RAM, trace data can be dumped using the coresight sysfs interface in the subsequent Linux boot. Crashdump kernel is not a requirement in this case. Persistent RAM ensures that trace data is intact across reboot. Coresight trace capture: Watchdog reset --------------------------------------- The main difference between addressing the watchdog reset and kernel panic case are below, a. Saving coresight metadata need to be taken care by the SCP(system control processor) firmware in the specified format, instead of kernel. b. Reserved memory region given by firmware for trace buffer and metadata has to be in persistent RAM. Note: This is a requirement for watchdog reset case but optional in kernel panic case. Watchdog reset can be supported only on platforms that meet the above two requirements. Testing Kernel panic on Linux 6.8 --------------------------------- 1. Enable the preloaded ETM configuration #echo 1 > /sys/kernel/config/cs-syscfg/configurations/panicstop/enable 2. Configure CTI using sysfs interface #./cti_setup.sh #cat cti_setup.sh cd /sys/bus/coresight/devices/ ap_cti_config () { #ETM trig out[0] trigger to Channel 0 echo 0 4 > channels/trigin_attach } etf_cti_config () { #ETF Flush in trigger from Channel 0 echo 0 1 > channels/trigout_attach echo 1 > channels/trig_filter_enable } etr_cti_config () { #ETR Flush in from Channel 0 echo 0 1 > channels/trigout_attach echo 1 > channels/trig_filter_enable } ctidevs=`find . -name "cti*"` for i in $ctidevs do cd $i connection=`find . -name "ete*"` if [ ! -z "$connection" ] then echo "AP CTI config for $i" ap_cti_config fi connection=`find . -name "tmc_etf*"` if [ ! -z "$connection" ] then echo "ETF CTI config for $i" etf_cti_config fi connection=`find . -name "tmc_etr*"` if [ ! -z "$connection" ] then echo "ETR CTI config for $i" etr_cti_config fi cd .. done Note: CTI connections are SOC specific and hence the above script is added just for reference. 3. Choose reserved buffer mode for ETR buffer #echo "resrv" > /sys/bus/coresight/devices/tmc_etr0/buf_mode_preferred 4. Enable stop on flush trigger configuration #echo 1 > /sys/bus/coresight/devices/tmc_etr0/stop_on_flush 4. Start Coresight tracing on cores 1 and 2 using sysfs interface 5. Run some application on core 1 #taskset -c 1 dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/null & 6. Invoke kernel panic on core 2 #echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/panic #taskset -c 2 echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger 7. From rebooted kernel or crashdump kernel, read crashdata Note: For crashdump kernel option, please make sure "crash_kexec_post_notifiers" is added to the kernel bootargs. #dd if=/dev/crash_tmc_etr0 of=/trace/cstrace.bin 8. Run opencsd decoder tools/scripts to generate the instruction trace.
