[PATCH v4 00/15] arm64: Self-hosted trace related errata workarounds

From: Suzuki K Poulose
Date: Tue Oct 12 2021 - 09:18:11 EST



This series adds CPU erratum work arounds related to the self-hosted
tracing. The list of affected errata handled in this series are :

* TRBE may overwrite trace in FILL mode
- Arm Neoverse-N2 #2139208
- Cortex-A710 #211985

* A TSB instruction may not flush the trace completely when executed
in trace prohibited region.

- Arm Neoverse-N2 #2067961
- Cortex-A710 #2054223

* TRBE may write to out-of-range address
- Arm Neoverse-N2 #2253138
- Cortex-A710 #2224489

The series applies on coresight/next. The series has been reordered
to make it easier to merge the patches via arm64 tree and the coresight
tree.

Patches 1-4 are could be picked up via arm64 tree. The rest can go via
the coresight tree. The Kconfig items for the TRBE errata are initially
dropped in with dependency on COMPILE_TEST. These are dropped only after
the driver is equipped with the work around in later patches.


A tree is available here :

git@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:linux-arm/linux-skp.git coresight/errata/trbe-tsb-n2-a710/v4

Changes since v3:

- Fix missing Kconfig selection for TSB flush failure erratum (Will)
Merged the Kconfig changes to the core patch for TSB.
- Use COMPILE_TEST dependency for the TRBE work arounds instead of
delaying the Kconfig entries.

Changes since v2:
* https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210921134121.2423546-1-suzuki.poulose@xxxxxxx
- Dropped patch adding a helper to reach cpudata from perf handle
- Split the TSB erratum work around patch to split the Kconfig/erratum
list update changes(pushed to the end of the series).
- Added wrappers to check the erratum :
trbe_has_erratum(cpudata, TRBE_ERRATUM_<TITLE>) -> trbe_may_<title>
- More ASCII art explanation on workaround.

Changes since v1:
* https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210728135217.591173-1-suzuki.poulose@xxxxxxx
- Added a fix to the TRBE driver handling of sink_specific data
- Added more description and ASCII art for overwrite in FILL mode
work around
- Added another TRBE erratum to the list.
"TRBE may write to out-of-range address"
Patches from 12-17
- Added comment to list the expectations around TSB erratum workaround.
