coresight: etm4x: Always set tracer's device mode on target CPU
When enabling a tracer via SysFS interface, the device mode may be set by any CPU - not necessarily the target CPU. This can lead to race condition in SMP, and may result in incorrect mode values being read. Consider the following example, where CPU0 attempts to enable the tracer on CPU1 (the target CPU): CPU0 CPU1 etm4_enable() ` coresight_take_mode(SYSFS) ` etm4_enable_sysfs() ` smp_call_function_single() ----> etm4_enable_hw_smp_call() / / CPU idle: / etm4_cpu_save() / ` coresight_get_mode() Failed to enable h/w / ^^^ ` coresight_set_mode(DISABLED) <-' Read the intermediate SYSFS mode In this case, CPU0 initiates the operation by taking the SYSFS mode to avoid conflicts with the Perf mode. It then sends an IPI to CPU1 to configure the tracer registers. If any error occurs during this process, CPU0 rolls back by setting the mode to DISABLED. However, if CPU1 enters an idle state during this time, it might read the intermediate SYSFS mode. As a result, the CPU PM flow could wrongly save and restore tracer context that is actually disabled. To resolve the issue, this commit moves the device mode setting logic on the target CPU. This ensures that the device mode is only modified by the target CPU, eliminating race condition between mode writes and reads across CPUs. An additional change introduces the etm4_disable_sysfs_smp_call() function for SMP calls, which disables the tracer and explicitly set the mode to DISABLED during SysFS operations. Rename etm4_disable_hw_smp_call() to etm4_disable_sysfs_smp_call() for naming consistency. The flow is updated with this change: CPU0 CPU1 etm4_enable() ` etm4_enable_sysfs() ` smp_call_function_single() ----> etm4_enable_hw_smp_call() ` coresight_take_mode(SYSFS) Failed, set back to DISABLED ` coresight_set_mode(DISABLED) CPU idle: etm4_cpu_save() ` coresight_get_mode() ^^^ Read out the DISABLED mode Fixes: c38a9ec2b2c1 ("coresight: etm4x: moving etm_drvdata::enable to atomic field") Reviewed-by: Yeoreum Yun <yeoreum.yun@arm.com> Reviewed-by: mike Leach <mike.leach@linaro.org> Tested-by: James Clark <james.clark@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Leo Yan <leo.yan@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Suzuki K Poulose <suzuki.poulose@arm.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251111-arm_coresight_power_management_fix-v6-2-f55553b6c8b3@arm.com
