Subject: [PATCH 0/7] Coresight for Kernel panic and watchdog reset

This patch series is rebased on v6.6-rc3 and is dependent
on the below two patches.
- coresight: tmc: Make etr buffer mode user configurable from sysfs[1]
- coresight: Fix run time warnings while reusing ETR buffer[2]

Changelog from RFC v3:
* Converted the Coresight ETM driver change to a named configuration.
RFC tag has been removed with this change.
* Fixed yaml issues reported by "make dt_binding_check"
* Added names for reserved memory regions 0 and 1
* Added prevalidation checks for metadata processing
* Fixed a regression introduced in RFC v3
- TMC Status register was getting saved wrongly
* Reverted memremap attribute changes from _WB to _WC to match
with the dma map attributes
* Introduced reserved buffer mode specific .sync op.
This fixes a possible crash when reserved buffer mode was used in
normal trace capture, due to unwanted dma maintenance operations.

RFC V3 is posted here:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/[email protected]/T/


Using Coresight for Kernel panic and Watchdog reset
===================================================
This patch series is about extending Linux coresight driver support to
address kernel panic and watchdog reset scenarios. This would help
coresight users to debug kernel panic and watchdog reset using
coresight trace data.

Coresight trace capture: Kernel panic
-------------------------------------
From the coresight driver point of view, addressing the kernel panic
situation has four main requirements.

a. Support for allocation of trace buffer pages from reserved memory area.
Platform can advertise this using a new device tree property added to
relevant coresight nodes.

b. Support for stopping coresight blocks at the time of panic

c. Saving required metadata in the specified format

d. Support for reading trace data captured at the time of panic

Allocation of trace buffer pages from reserved RAM
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A new optional device tree property "memory-region" is added to the
ETR/ETF device nodes, that would give the base address and size of trace
buffer.

Static allocation of trace buffers would ensure that both IOMMU enabled
and disabled cases are handled. Also, platforms that support persistent
RAM will allow users to read trace data in the subsequent boot without
booting the crashdump kernel.

Note:
For ETR sink devices, this reserved region will be used for both trace
capture and trace data retrieval.
For ETF sink devices, internal SRAM would be used for trace capture,
and they would be synced to reserved region for retrieval.

Note: Patches 1 & 2 adds support for this.

Disabling coresight blocks at the time of panic
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In order to avoid the situation of losing relevant trace data after a
kernel panic, it would be desirable to stop the coresight blocks at the
time of panic.

This can be achieved by configuring the comparator, CTI and sink
devices as below,

Comparator(triggers on kernel panic) --->External out --->CTI --
|
ETR/ETF stop <------External In <--------------
Note:

* Patch 6 provides the necessary ETR configuration.
* Patch 7 provides the necessary ETM configuration.

Saving metadata at the time of kernel panic
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Coresight metadata involves all additional data that are required for a
successful trace decode in addition to the trace data. This involves
ETR/ETF, ETE register snapshot etc.

A new optional device property "memory-region" is added to
the ETR/ETF/ETE device nodes for this.

Note: Patches 3 & 4 adds support for this.

Reading trace data captured at the time of panic
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Trace data captured at the time of panic, can be read from rebooted kernel
or from crashdump kernel using the below mentioned interface.

Note: Patch 5 adds support for this.

Steps for reading trace data captured in previous boot
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
1. cd /sys/bus/coresight/devices/tmc_etrXX/

2. Change to special mode called, read_prevboot.

#echo 1 > read_prevboot

3. Dump trace buffer data to a file,

#dd if=/dev/tmc_etrXX of=~/cstrace.bin

4. Reset back to normal mode

#echo 0 > read_prevboot

General flow of trace capture and decode incase of kernel panic
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. Enable source and sink on all the cores using the sysfs interface.
ETR sink will have trace buffers allocated from reserved memory,
by selecting "resrv" buffer mode from sysfs.

2. Run relevant tests.

3. On a kernel panic, all coresight blocks are disabled, necessary
metadata is synced by kernel panic handler.

System would eventually reboot or boot a crashdump kernel.

4. For platforms that supports crashdump kernel, raw trace data can be
dumped using the coresight sysfs interface from the crashdump kernel
itself. Persistent RAM is not a requirement in this case.

5. For platforms that supports persistent RAM, trace data can be dumped
using the coresight sysfs interface in the subsequent Linux boot.
Crashdump kernel is not a requirement in this case. Persistent RAM
ensures that trace data is intact across reboot.

Coresight trace capture: Watchdog reset
---------------------------------------
The main difference between addressing the watchdog reset and kernel panic
case are below,

a. Saving coresight metadata need to be taken care by the
SCP(system control processor) firmware in the specified format,
instead of kernel.

b. Reserved memory region given by firmware for trace buffer and metadata
has to be in persistent RAM.
Note: This is a requirement for watchdog reset case but optional
in kernel panic case.

Watchdog reset can be supported only on platforms that meet the above
two requirements.

Testing Kernel panic on Linux 6.6
---------------------------------
1. Enable the preloaded ETM configuration

#mount -t configfs configs /config
#panic_addr=`cat /proc/kallsyms | grep "\<panic\>" | awk '{print $1}'`
#cd /config/cs-syscfg/features/gen_etrig/params
#echo "0x$panic_addr" > address/value
#echo 1 > /config/cs-syscfg/configurations/panicstop/enable

2. Configure CTI using sysfs interface

#./cti_setup.sh

#cat cti_setup.sh

cd /sys/bus/coresight/devices/

ap_cti_config () {
#ETM trig out[0] trigger to Channel 0
echo 0 4 > channels/trigin_attach
}

etf_cti_config () {
#ETF Flush in trigger from Channel 0
echo 0 1 > channels/trigout_attach
echo 1 > channels/trig_filter_enable
}

etr_cti_config () {
#ETR Flush in from Channel 0
echo 0 1 > channels/trigout_attach
echo 1 > channels/trig_filter_enable
}

ctidevs=`find . -name "cti*"`

for i in $ctidevs
do
cd $i

connection=`find . -name "ete*"`
if [ ! -z "$connection" ]
then
echo "AP CTI config for $i"
ap_cti_config
fi

connection=`find . -name "tmc_etf*"`
if [ ! -z "$connection" ]
then
echo "ETF CTI config for $i"
etf_cti_config
fi

connection=`find . -name "tmc_etr*"`
if [ ! -z "$connection" ]
then
echo "ETR CTI config for $i"
etr_cti_config
fi

cd ..
done

Note: CTI connections are SOC specific and hence the above script is
added just for reference.

3. Choose reserved buffer mode for ETR buffer
#echo "resrv" > /sys/bus/coresight/devices/tmc_etr0/buf_mode_preferred

4. Start Coresight tracing on cores 1 and 2 using sysfs interface

5. Run some application on core 1
#taskset -c 1 dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/null &

6. Invoke kernel panic on core 2
#echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/panic
#taskset -c 2 echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger

7. From rebooted kernel, enable previous boot mode

#echo 1 > /sys/bus/coresight/devices/tmc_etr0/read_prevboot

8. Read trace data
#dd if=/dev/tmc_etr0 of=/trace/cstrace.bin

9. Run opencsd decoder tools/scripts to generate the instruction trace.

Subject: [PATCH 5/7] coresight: tmc: Add support for reading tracedata from previous boot

* Introduce a new mode CS_MODE_READ_PREVBOOT for reading tracedata
captured in previous boot.

* Add special handlers for preparing ETR/ETF for this special mode

* User can read the trace data as below

For example, for reading trace data from tmc_etf sink

1. cd /sys/bus/coresight/devices/tmc_etfXX/

2. Change mode to READ_PREVBOOT

#echo 1 > read_prevboot

3. Dump trace buffer data to a file,

#dd if=/dev/tmc_etrXX of=~/cstrace.bin

4. Reset back to normal mode

#echo 0 > read_prevboot

Subject: [PATCH 2/7] coresight: tmc-etr: Add support to use reserved trace memory

Add support to use reserved memory for coresight ETR trace buffer.

Introduce a new ETR buffer mode called ETR_MODE_RESRV, which
becomes available when ETR device tree node is supplied with a valid
reserved memory region.

ETR_MODE_RESRV can be selected only by explicit user request.

$ echo resrv >/sys/bus/coresight/devices/tmc_etr<N>/buf_mode_preferred

Panic callback handlers allows coresight device drivers to sync

Hi Linu,

I think this version of coresight-tmc-etr.c isn't in the tree and it
makes it hard to apply the set. Do you have local changes? Or if it
requires other patches it might be best to host the full set on your own
repo and link to it:

$ git show 834674feb6b4
fatal: ambiguous argument '834674feb6b4': unknown revision or path not
in the working tree.
Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this:
'git <command> [<revision>...] -- [<file>...]'

Thanks
James

Is this a typo? The DT commit says the region is called "trace-mem". And
"metadata-mem" for the other region, but that one matches the other call
to tmc_get_region_byname() added in the later commit.

Ack. Will fix in the next version.

I'm wondering if a more robust check is needed than the valid flag, like
a checksum or something. I didn't debug it yet but I ended up with an
invalid set of metadata after a panic reboot, see below. I'm not sure if
it's just a logic bug or something got lost during the reboot, I didn't
debug it yet. But I suppose unless you assume the panic didn't affect
writing the metadata, then it could be partially written and shouldn't
be trusted?

The values I got here are 0x781b67182aa346f9 0x8000000 0x8000000 for
offset, size and len respectively. This fails the first check. It would
also be nice to have a dev_dbg here as well, it's basically the same as
the valid check above which does have one.

So I debugged it and the issue is that after the panic I was doing a
cold boot rather than a warm boot and the memory was being randomised.

The reason that 0x8000000 seemed to be initialised is because they are
based on the reserved region size, rather than anything from the
metadata. When I examined the metadata it was all randomised.

That leads me to think that the single bit for 'valid' is insufficient.
There is a simple hashing function in include/linux/stringhash.h that we
could use on the whole metadata struct, but that specifically says:

* These hash functions are NOT GUARANTEED STABLE between kernel
* versions, architectures, or even repeated boots of the same kernel.
* (E.g. they may depend on boot-time hardware detection or be
* deliberately randomized.)

Although I'm not sure how true the repeated boots of the same kernel
part is.

Maybe something in include/crypto/hash.h could be used instead, or make
our own simple hash.

Is there a valid use case for ETR where we use these areas when there
is not a panic/reset situation?

Either way - the description should perhaps mention that these areas
are only used if specifically selected by the driver - the default
memory usage models for ETR / perf are otherwise unaltered.

Is there a constraint required here? If we are using the memory area
for trace in a panic situation, then we must have the meta data memory
area defined?
Perhaps a set of names such as "etr-trace-mem", "panic-trace-mem" ,
"panic-metadata-mem", were the first is for general ETR trace in
non-panic situation and then constrain the "panic-" areas to appear
together.
The "etr-trace-mem", "panic-trace-mem" could easily point to the same area.

Thanks for the pointers. Will take a look at it.

Currently its meant to be used only for the panic/reset situations and gets enabled only with a special buffer mode.

As noted above, we do not have other generic use case for these reserved regions now.
Hence two regions/names, panic-trace-mem and panic-metadata-mem with constraints kept as
minItems: 2 and maxItems: 2 would suffice ?

Whatever you do, please delete the -mem suffix.
