treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types

2026-02-21T09:02:28+00:00

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union object instances: Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...) Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...) Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...) (where TYPE may also be *VAR) The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning "TYPE *". Signed-off-by: Kees Cook

hwtracing: hisi_ptt: Assign parent for event_source device

2024-05-02T10:36:11+00:00

Currently the PMU device appears directly under /sys/devices/ Only root busses should appear there, so instead assign the pmu->dev parent to be the PCI device.

hwtracing: hisi_ptt: Move type check to the beginning of hisi_ptt_pmu_event_init()

2024-02-26T09:54:38+00:00

When perf_init_event() calls perf_try_init_event() to init pmu driver, searches for the next pmu driver only when the return value is -ENOENT. Therefore, hisi_ptt_pmu_event_init() needs to check the type at the beginning of the function. Otherwise, in the case of perf-task mode, perf_try_init_event() returns -EOPNOTSUPP and skips subsequent pmu drivers, causes perf_init_event() to fail.

hwtracing: hisi_ptt: Optimize the trace data committing

2023-11-16T11:36:33+00:00

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.

hwtracing: hisi_ptt: Disable interrupt after trace end

2023-11-16T11:36:27+00:00

On trace end we disable the hardware but leave the interrupt unmasked. Mask the interrupt to make the process reverse to the start. No actual issue since hardware should send no interrupt after disabled.

hwtracing: hisi_ptt: Handle the interrupt in hardirq context

2023-11-13T09:43:33+00:00

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").

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.
