[PATCH 0/9] coresight: change some driver' spinlock type to raw_spinlock_t
Posted by Yeoreum Yun 1 year, 2 months ago
In some coresight drivers, drvdata->spinlock can be held during __schedule()
by perf_event_task_sched_out()/in().

Since drvdata->spinlock type is spinlock_t and
perf_event_task_sched_out()/in() is called after acquiring rq_lock,
which is raw_spinlock_t (an unsleepable lock),
this poses an issue in PREEMPT_RT kernel where spinlock_t is sleepable.

To address this,change type drvdata->spinlock in some coresight drivers,
which can be called by perf_event_task_sched_out()/in(),
from spinlock_t to raw_spinlock_t.

Can TPIU be used as a sink with Perf? If so that one is missing the update.

Makes me wonder if something like a "perf_component" flag in 
coresight_device or a #define would make sense. Then the lock type gets 
auto picked. Seems like in a few years we will have completely forgotten 
why some of the coresight locks are raw and others aren't.

Reviewed-by: James Clark <james.clark@linaro.org>

Somewhat related to this change, but not something that needs to be done 
now:

All of the spinlocks for the syfs store/read functions don't need to be 
raw spinlocks, or spinlocks at all. They're never called from the 
scheduling code and can be locked by coresight_mutex instead. 
coresight_mutex is held on the sysfs enable/disable path when those 
values are actually used.

Same point as here: 
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/9a637e74-d81d-405c-bad0-c97ec1aa4b77@linaro.org/

Probably needs a review of which values in each device might be shared 
between perf mode and sysfs mode when they shouldn't be, as there was 
one in the link above.

I thought the only thing shared between sysfs and perf should be the 
'mode' which is taken with a compare and swap without locking anyway.
