Add syntax to the parsing of eprobes to be able to typecast a trace event
field that is a pointer to a structure.
Currently, a dereference must be a number, where the user has to figure
out manually the offset of a member of a structure that they want to
dereference.
But for event probes that records a field that happens to be a pointer to
a structure, it cannot dereference these values with BTF naming, but
must use numerical offsets.
For example, to find out what device a sk_buff is pointing to in the
net_dev_xmit trace event, one must first use gdb to find the offsets of the
members of the structures:
(gdb) p &((struct sk_buff *)0)->dev
$1 = (struct net_device **) 0x10
(gdb) p &((struct net_device *)0)->name
$2 = (char (*)[16]) 0x118
And then use the raw numbers to dereference:
# echo 'e:xmit net.net_dev_xmit +0x118(+0x10($skbaddr)):string' >> dynamic_events
If BTF is in the kernel, then instead, the skbaddr can be typecast to
sk_buff and use the normal dereference logic.
# echo 'e:xmit net.net_dev_xmit (sk_buff)skbaddr->dev->name:string' >> dynamic_events
# echo 1 > events/eprobes/xmit/enable
# cat trace

The sched monitor page was linking to Daniel's website which is now
down. The main purpose of the link was to point to a source for the
models from the original author and that can be found also in his
published paper.
Replace the link with a reference to Daniel's "A thread synchronization
model for the PREEMPT_RT Linux kernel" which can be found online and
includes the models definitions as well as the work behind them (not the
original patches but since they're based on a 5.0 kernel and are mostly
included upstream, there's little value in keeping them in the docs).

Pull runtime verification updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Refactor da_monitor header to share handlers across monitor types
No functional changes, only less code duplication.
- Add Hybrid Automata model class
Add a new model class that extends deterministic automata by adding
constraints on transitions and states. Those constraints can take
into account wall-clock time and as such allow RV monitor to make
assertions on real time. Add documentation and code generation
scripts.
- Add stall monitor as hybrid automaton example
Add a monitor that triggers a violation when a task is stalling as an
example of automaton working with real time variables.
- Convert the opid monitor to a hybrid automaton
The opid monitor can be heavily simplified if written as a hybrid
automaton: instead of tracking preempt and interrupt enable/disable
events, it can just run constraints on the preemption/interrupt
states when events like wakeup and need_resched verify.
- Add support for per-object monitors in DA/HA
Allow writing deterministic and hybrid automata monitors for generic
objects (e.g. any struct), by exploiting a hash table where objects
are saved. This allows to track more than just tasks in RV. For
instance it will be used to track deadline entities in deadline
monitors.
- Add deadline tracepoints and move some deadline utilities
Prepare the ground for deadline monitors by defining events and
exporting helpers.
- Add nomiss deadline monitor
Add first example of deadline monitor asserting all entities complete
before their deadline.
- Improve rvgen error handling
Introduce AutomataError exception class and better handle expected
exceptions while showing a backtrace for unexpected ones.
- Improve python code quality in rvgen
Refactor the rvgen generation scripts to align with python best
practices: use f-strings instead of %, use len() instead of
__len__(), remove semicolons, use context managers for file
operations, fix whitespace violations, extract magic strings into
constants, remove unused imports and methods.
- Fix small bugs in rvgen
The generator scripts presented some corner case bugs: logical error
in validating what a correct dot file looks like, fix an isinstance()
check, enforce a dot file has an initial state, fix type annotations
and typos in comments.
- rvgen refactoring
Refactor automata.py to use iterator-based parsing and handle
required arguments directly in argparse.
- Allow epoll in rtapp-sleep monitor
The epoll_wait call is now rt-friendly so it should be allowed in the
sleep monitor as a valid sleep method.

Pull ring-buffer updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Add remote buffers for pKVM
pKVM has a hypervisor component that is used to protect the guest
from the host kernel. This hypervisor is a black box to the kernel as
the kernel is to user space. The remote buffers are used to have a
memory mapping between the hypervisor and the kernel where kernel may
send commands to enable tracing within the hypervisor. Then the
kernel will read this memory mapping just like user space can read
the memory mapped ring buffer of the kernel tracing system.
Since the hypervisor only has a single context, it doesn't need to
worry about races between normal context, interrupt context and NMIs
like the kernel does. The ring buffer it uses doesn't need to be as
complex. The remote buffers are a simple version of the ring buffer
that works in a single context. They are still per-CPU and use sub
buffers. The data layout is the same as the kernel's ring buffer to
share the same parsing.
Currently, only ARM64 implements pKVM, but there's work to implement
it also in x86. The remote buffer code is separated out from the ARM
implementation so that it can be used in the future by x86.
The ARM64 updates for pKVM is in the ARM/KVM tree and it merged in
the remote buffers of this tree.
- Make the backup instance non reusable
The backup instance is a copy of the persistent ring buffer so that
the persistent ring buffer could start recording again without using
the data from the previous boot. The backup isn't for normal tracing.
It is made read-only, and after it is consumed, it is automatically
removed.
- Have backup copy persistent instance before it starts recording
To allow the persistent ring buffer to start recording from the
kernel command line commands, move the copy of the backup instance to
before the the command line options start recording.
- Report header_page overwrite field as "char" and not "int'
The rust parser of the header_page file was triggering a warning when
it defined the overwrite variable as "int" but it was only a single
byte in size.
- Fix memory barriers for the trace_buffer CPU mask
When a CPU comes online, the bit is set to allow readers to know that
the CPU buffer is allocated. The bit is set after the allocation is
done, and a smp_wmb() is performed after the allocation and before
the setting of the bit. But instead of adding a smp_rmb() to all
readers, since once a buffer is created for a CPU it is not deleted
if that CPU goes offline, so this allocation is almost always done at
boot up before any readers exist.
If for the unlikely case where a CPU comes online for the first time
after the system boot has finished, send an IPI to all CPUs to force
the smp_rmb() for each CPU.
- Show clock function being used in debugging ring buffer data
When the ring buffer checks are enabled and the ring buffer detects
an inconsistency in the times of the invents, print out the clock
being used when the error occurred. There was a very hard to hit bug
that would happen every so often and it ended up being only triggered
when the jiffies clock was being used. If the bug showed the clock
being used, it would have been much easier to find the problem (which
was an internal function was being traced which caused the clock
accounting to go off).

Pull pci updates from Bjorn Helgaas:
"Enumeration:
- Allow TLP Processing Hints to be enabled for RCiEPs (George Abraham
P)
- Enable AtomicOps only if we know the Root Port supports them (Gerd
Bayer)
- Don't enable AtomicOps for RCiEPs since none of them need Atomic
Ops and we can't tell whether the Root Complex would support them
(Gerd Bayer)
- Leave Precision Time Measurement disabled until a driver enables it
to avoid PCIe errors (Mika Westerberg)
- Make pci_set_vga_state() fail if bridge doesn't support VGA
routing, i.e., PCI_BRIDGE_CTL_VGA is not writable, and return
errors to vga_get() callers including userspace via
/dev/vga_arbiter (Simon Richter)
- Validate max-link-speed from DT in j721e, brcmstb, mediatek-gen3,
rzg3s drivers (where the actual controller constraints are known),
and remove validation from the generic OF DT accessor (Hans Zhang)
- Remove pc110pad driver (no longer useful after 486 CPU support
removed) and no_pci_devices() (pc110pad was the last user) (Dmitry
Torokhov, Heiner Kallweit)
Resource management:
- Prevent assigning space to unimplemented bridge windows; previously
we mistakenly assumed prefetchable window existed and assigned
space and put a BAR there (Ahmed Naseef)
- Avoid shrinking bridge windows to fit in the initial Root Port
window; fixes one problem with devices with large BARs connected
via switches, e.g., Thunderbolt (Ilpo Järvinen)
- Pass full extent of empty space, not just the aligned space, to
resource_alignf callback so free space before the requested
alignment can be used (Ilpo Järvinen)
- Place small resources before larger ones for better utilization of
address space (Ilpo Järvinen)
- Fix alignment calculation for resource size larger than align,
e.g., bridge windows larger than the 1MB required alignment (Ilpo
Järvinen)
Reset:
- Update slot handling so all ARI functions are treated as being in
the same slot. They're all reset by Secondary Bus Reset, but
previously drivers of ARI functions that appeared to be on a
non-zero device weren't notified and fatal hardware errors could
result (Keith Busch)
- Make sysfs reset_subordinate hotplug safe to avoid spurious hotplug
events (Keith Busch)
- Hide Secondary Bus Reset ('bus') from sysfs reset_methods if masked
by CXL because it has no effect (Vidya Sagar)
- Avoid FLR for AMD NPU device, where it causes the device to hang
(Lizhi Hou)
Error handling:
- Clear only error bits in PCIe Device Status to avoid accidentally
clearing Emergency Power Reduction Detected (Shuai Xue)
- Check for AER errors even in devices without drivers (Lukas Wunner)
- Initialize ratelimit info so DPC and EDR paths log AER error
information (Kuppuswamy Sathyanarayanan)
Power control:
- Add UPD720201/UPD720202 USB 3.0 xHCI Host Controller .compatible so
generic pwrctrl driver can control it (Neil Armstrong)
Hotplug:
- Set LED_HW_PLUGGABLE for NPEM hotplug-capable ports so LED core
doesn't complain when setting brightness fails because the endpoint
is gone (Richard Cheng)
Peer-to-peer DMA:
- Allow wildcards in list of host bridges that support peer-to-peer
DMA between hierarchy domains and add all Google SoCs (Jacob
Moroni)
Endpoint framework:
- Advertise dynamic inbound mapping support in pci-epf-test and
update host pci_endpoint_test to skip doorbell testing if not
advertised by endpoint (Koichiro Den)
- Return 0, not remaining timeout, when MHI eDMA ops complete so
mhi_ep_ring_add_element() doesn't interpret non-zero as failure
(Daniel Hodges)
- Remove vntb and ntb duplicate resource teardown that leads to oops
when .allow_link() fails or .drop_link() is called (Koichiro Den)
- Disable vntb delayed work before clearing BAR mappings and
doorbells to avoid oops caused by doing the work after resources
have been torn down (Koichiro Den)
- Add a way to describe reserved subregions within BARs, e.g.,
platform-owned fixed register windows, and use it for the RK3588
BAR4 DMA ctrl window (Koichiro Den)
- Add BAR_DISABLED for BARs that will never be available to an EPF
driver, and change some BAR_RESERVED annotations to BAR_DISABLED
(Niklas Cassel)
- Add NTB .get_dma_dev() callback for cases where DMA API requires a
different device, e.g., vNTB devices (Koichiro Den)
- Add reserved region types for MSI-X Table and PBA so Endpoint
controllers can them as describe hardware-owned regions in a
BAR_RESERVED BAR (Manikanta Maddireddy)
- Make Tegra194/234 BAR0 programmable and remove 1MB size limit
(Manikanta Maddireddy)
- Expose Tegra BAR2 (MSI-X) and BAR4 (DMA) as 64-bit BAR_RESERVED
(Manikanta Maddireddy)
- Add Tegra194 and Tegra234 device table entries to pci_endpoint_test
(Manikanta Maddireddy)
- Skip the BAR subrange selftest if there are not enough inbound
window resources to run the test (Christian Bruel)
New native PCIe controller drivers:
- Add DT binding and driver for Andes QiLai SoC PCIe host controller
(Randolph Lin)
- Add DT binding and driver for ESWIN PCIe Root Complex (Senchuan
Zhang)
Baikal T-1 PCIe controller driver:
- Remove driver since it never quite became usable (Andy Shevchenko)
Cadence PCIe controller driver:
- Implement byte/word config reads with dword (32-bit) reads because
some Cadence controllers don't support sub-dword accesses (Aksh
Garg)
CIX Sky1 PCIe controller driver:

Freescale i.MX6 PCIe controller driver:
- Add i.MX94 and i.MX943 to fsl,imx6q-pcie-ep DT binding (Richard
Zhu)
- Delay instead of polling for L2/L3 Ready after PME_Turn_off when
suspending i.MX6SX because LTSSM registers are inaccessible
(Richard Zhu)
- Separate PERST# assertion (for resetting endpoints) from core reset
(for resetting the RC itself) to prepare for new DTs with PERST#
GPIO in per-Root Port nodes (Sherry Sun)
- Retain Root Port MSI capability on i.MX7D, i.MX8MM, and i.MX8MQ so
MSI from downstream devices will work (Richard Zhu)
- Fix i.MX95 reference clock source selection when internal refclk is
used (Franz Schnyder)
Freescale Layerscape PCIe controller driver:
- Allow building as a removable module (Sascha Hauer)
MediaTek PCIe Gen3 controller driver:
- Use dev_err_probe() to simplify error paths and make deferred probe
messages visible in /sys/kernel/debug/devices_deferred (Chen-Yu
Tsai)
- Power off device if setup fails (Chen-Yu Tsai)
- Integrate new pwrctrl API to enable power control for WiFi/BT
adapters on mainboard or in PCIe or M.2 slots (Chen-Yu Tsai)
NVIDIA Tegra194 PCIe controller driver:
- Poll less aggressively and non-atomically for PME_TO_Ack during
transition to L2 (Vidya Sagar)
- Disable LTSSM after transition to Detect on surprise link down to
stop toggling between Polling and Detect (Manikanta Maddireddy)
- Don't force the device into the D0 state before L2 when suspending
or shutting down the controller (Vidya Sagar)
- Disable PERST# IRQ only in Endpoint mode because it's not
registered in Root Port mode (Manikanta Maddireddy)
- Handle 'nvidia,refclk-select' as optional (Vidya Sagar)
- Disable direct speed change in Endpoint mode so link speed change
is controlled by the host (Vidya Sagar)
- Set LTR values before link up to avoid bogus LTR messages with 0
latency (Vidya Sagar)
- Allow system suspend when the Endpoint link is down (Vidya Sagar)
- Use DWC IP core version, not Tegra custom values, to avoid DWC core
version check warnings (Manikanta Maddireddy)
- Apply ECRC workaround to devices based on DesignWare 5.00a as well
as 4.90a (Manikanta Maddireddy)
- Disable PM Substate L1.2 in Endpoint mode to work around Tegra234
erratum (Vidya Sagar)
- Delay post-PERST# cleanup until core is powered on to avoid CBB
timeout (Manikanta Maddireddy)
- Assert CLKREQ# so switches that forward it to their downstream side
can bring up those links successfully (Vidya Sagar)
- Calibrate pipe to UPHY for Endpoint mode to reset stale PLL state
from any previous bad link state (Vidya Sagar)

DMA driver and Endpoint controller driver can share the interrupt
line (Vidya Sagar)
- Enable DMA interrupt to support DMA in both Root Port and Endpoint
modes (Vidya Sagar)
- Enable hardware link retraining after link goes down in Endpoint
mode (Vidya Sagar)
- Add DT binding and driver support for core clock monitoring (Vidya
Sagar)
Qualcomm PCIe controller driver:
- Advertise 'Hot-Plug Capable' and set 'No Command Completed Support'
since Qcom Root Ports support hotplug events like DL_Up/Down and
can accept writes to Slot Control without delays between writes
(Krishna Chaitanya Chundru)
Renesas R-Car PCIe controller driver:
- Mark Endpoint BAR0 and BAR2 as Resizable (Koichiro Den)

- Assert (not deassert) resets in probe error path (John Madieu)
- Assert resets in suspend path in reverse order they were deasserted
during probe (John Madieu)

The histogram documentation describes the old method of the histogram
triggers using the fn() field of the histogram field structure to process
the field. But due to Spectre mitigation, the function pointer to handle
the fields at runtime caused a noticeable overhead. It was converted over
to a fn_num and hist_fn_call() is now used to call the specific functions
for the fields via a switch statement based on the field's fn_num value.
Update the documentation to reflect this change.

The opid monitor validates that wakeup and need_resched events only
occur with interrupts and preemption disabled by following the
preemptirq tracepoints.
As reported in [1], those tracepoints might be inaccurate in some
situations (e.g. NMIs).
Since the monitor doesn't validate other ordering properties, remove the
dependency on preemptirq tracepoints and convert the monitor to a hybrid
automaton to validate the constraint during event handling.
This makes the monitor more robust by also removing the workaround for
interrupts missing the preemption tracepoints, which was working on
PREEMPT_RT only and allows the monitor to be built on kernels without
the preemptirqs tracepoints.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
"User visible changes:
- Add an entry into MAINTAINERS file for RUST versions of code
There's now RUST code for tracing and static branches. To
differentiate that code from the C code, add entries in for the
RUST version (with "[RUST]" around it) so that the right
maintainers get notified on changes.
- New bitmask-list option added to tracefs
When this is set, bitmasks in trace event are not displayed as hex
numbers, but instead as lists: e.g. 0-5,7,9 instead of 0000015f
- New show_event_filters file in tracefs
Instead of having to search all events/*/*/filter for any active
filters enabled in the trace instance, the file show_event_filters
will list them so that there's only one file that needs to be
examined to see if any filters are active.
- New show_event_triggers file in tracefs
Instead of having to search all events/*/*/trigger for any active
triggers enabled in the trace instance, the file
show_event_triggers will list them so that there's only one file
that needs to be examined to see if any triggers are active.
- Have traceoff_on_warning disable trace pintk buffer too
Recently recording of trace_printk() could go to other trace
instances instead of the top level instance. But if
traceoff_on_warning triggers, it doesn't stop the buffer with
trace_printk() and that data can easily be lost by being
overwritten. Have traceoff_on_warning also disable the instance
that has trace_printk() being written to it.
- Update the hist_debug file to show what function the field uses
When CONFIG_HIST_TRIGGERS_DEBUG is enabled, a hist_debug file
exists for every event. This displays the internal data of any
histogram enabled for that event. But it is lacking |
