[PATCH 08/10] coresight: trbe: Workaround TRBE errat overwrite in FILL mode

From: Suzuki K Poulose
Date: Wed Jul 28 2021 - 09:54:03 EST


ARM Neoverse-N2 (#2139208) and Cortex-A710(##2119858) suffers from
an erratum, which when triggered, might cause the TRBE to overwrite
the trace data already collected in FILL mode, in the event of a WRAP.
i.e, the TRBE doesn't stop writing the data, instead wraps to the base
and could write upto 3 cache line size worth trace. Thus, this could
corrupt the trace at the "BASE" pointer.

The workaround is to program the write pointer 256bytes from the
base, such that if the erratum is triggered, it doesn't overwrite
the trace data that was captured. This skipped region could be
padded with ignore packets at the end of the session, so that
the decoder sees a continuous buffer with some padding at the
beginning. The trace data written at the base is considered
lost as the limit could have been in the middle of the perf
ring buffer, and jumping to the "base" is not acceptable.
We set the flags already to indicate that some amount of trace
was lost during the FILL event IRQ. So this is fine.

One important change with the work around is, we program the
TRBBASER_EL1 to current page where we are allowed to write.
Otherwise, it could overwrite a region that may be consumed
by the perf. Towards this, we always make sure that the
"handle->head" and thus the trbe_write is PAGE_SIZE aligned,
so that we can set the BASE to the PAGE base and move the
TRBPTR to the 256bytes offset.
