Subject: [PATCH v3 0/5] Several updates for PTT driver

From: Yicong Yang <[email protected]>

This series contains several updates for PTT driver:
- Disable interrupt when trace stops, reverse to what we do in trace start
- Always handle the interrupt in hardirq context
- Optimize the AUX buffer handling to make consumer have more time to process
the data
- Since we're a uncore PMU so block any task attach operation
- Add a dummy pmu::read() callback since the perf core may use

Change since v2:
- Add fix tag for Patch 5/5
- refine the commit in Patch 3/5, trying to make it more clear
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/

Change since v1:
- Add Jonathan's tag, thanks

Subject: [PATCH v3 2/5] hwtracing: hisi_ptt: Handle the interrupt in hardirq context

From: Yicong Yang <[email protected]>

Handle the trace interrupt in the hardirq context, make sure the irq
core won't threaded it by declaring IRQF_NO_THREAD and userspace won't
balance it by declaring IRQF_NOBALANCING. Otherwise we may violate the
synchronization requirements of the perf core, referenced to the
change of arm-ccn PMU commit 0811ef7e2f54 ("bus: arm-ccn: fix PMU interrupt flags").

In the interrupt handler we mainly doing 2 things:
- Copy the data from the local DMA buffer to the AUX buffer
- Commit the data in the AUX buffer

From: Junhao He <[email protected]>

When start trace with perf option "-C $cpu" and immediately stop it
with SIGTERM or others, the perf core will invoke pmu::read() while
the driver doesn't implement it. Add a dummy pmu::read() to avoid
any issues.

Subject: [PATCH v3 3/5] hwtracing: hisi_ptt: Optimize the trace data committing

From: Yicong Yang <[email protected]>

In the current implementation, there're 4*4MiB trace buffer and hardware
will fill the buffer one by one. The driver will get notified if one
buffer is full and then copy data to the AUX buffer. If there's no
enough room for the next trace buffer, we'll commit the AUX buffer to
the perf core and try to apply a new one. In a typical configuration
the AUX buffer will be 16MiB, so we'll commit the data after the whole
AUX buffer is occupied. Then the driver cannot apply a new AUX buffer
immediately until the committed data is consumed by userspace and then
there's room in the AUX buffer again.

This patch tries to optimize this by commit the data after one single
trace buffer is filled. Since there's still room in the AUX buffer,
driver can apply a new one without failure and don't need to wait for
the userspace to consume the data.

I wrapped the commit description to 75 chars for this patch to suppress the
following checkpatch warning and queued it.

WARNING: Prefer a maximum 75 chars per line (possible unwrapped commit description?)
#10:
change of arm-ccn PMU commit 0811ef7e2f54 ("bus: arm-ccn: fix PMU interrupt flags").

total: 0 errors, 1 warnings, 12 lines checked

NOTE: For some of the reported defects, checkpatch may be able to
mechanically convert to the typical style using --fix or --fix-inplace.

"[PATCH] hwtracing: hisi_ptt: Handle the interrupt in hardirq context" has style problems, please review.
