[PATCH v4 12/13] drm/panfrost: Fix races between perfcnt and reset sequence
From: Adrián Larumbe
Date: Tue Jul 28 2026 - 23:06:54 EST
Formerly, the reset sequence would race with panfrost_mmu_as_put()
when tearing down a perfcnt session. On top of that, poking GPU
registers to program a perfcnt session or obtaining a dump might lead to
undefined behaviour when done at the same time a reset was ongoing.
Use the reset r/w semaphore to govern access to the hardware at reset
time. On top of that, expand the DRM uAPI for the perfcnt DUMP operation
so that userspace can be made aware of a reset having happened, because
that means counters will go back to 0 and can no longer be accumulated
to values previously kept in user space.
The new perfcnt-aware reset sequence also takes care to reestablish
perfcnt to its original configuration if there was an enabled session.
