Re: [RESEND PATCH] coresight: tmc: Explicit type conversions to prevent integer overflow

[Ruidong Tian]

Hi James,

Sorry, some local patch caused inaccurate information. Please allow me 
to reintroduce the question:

If you use perf with 1G AUX buffer, you can get 1G perf data. Perf 
workload is kernel build here:

    perf record -C 0 -m ,1G -e cs_etm// taskset -c 0 make

    [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1025.557 MB perf.data ]

But if you use 2G AUX buffer, perf was executed unexpectedly：

    perf record -C 0 -m ,2G -e cs_etm// taskset -c 0 make

    [ perf record: Captured and wrote 2.615 MB perf.data ]

There are just 2.615 MB perf data rather than 2G, if you probe function 
"tmc_alloc_etr_buf" in

coresight_tmc module, you can find some clues:

  perf probe -m coresight_tmc "tmc_alloc_etr_buf size:s64"

  perf record -e probe:tmc_alloc_etr_buf -aR -- perf record -C 0 -m ,2G 
-e cs_etm// -o cs.data taskset -c 0 make

  perf script
            perf 118267 [064]  4640.324670: probe:tmc_alloc_etr_buf: 
(ffff80007a9dce60) size_s64=-2147483648
            perf 118267 [064]  4640.324681: probe:tmc_alloc_etr_buf: 
(ffff80007a9dce60) size_s64=1048576

It's pretty obvious what's going on here. The first call of 
tmc_alloc_etr_buf in alloc_etr_buf was

failed because of overflow, the second call of tmc_alloc_etr_buf just 
alloc 1M AUX buffer which

is default ETR buffer size rather than 2G. That is why we can just get 
2.615MB ( 1M AUX data

+ perf header ).

It is necessary to check the conversion from int to s64 in coresight_tmc 
driver. The issue[1] also

exists in coresight/perf, but it's different from this topic.
