coresight: etm-perf: Handle stale output handles
The context associated with an ETM for a given perf event
includes :
- handle -> the perf output handle for the AUX buffer.
- the path for the trace components
- the buffer config for the sink.
The path and the buffer config are part of the "aux_priv" data
(etm_event_data) setup by the setup_aux() callback, and made available
via perf_get_aux(handle).
Now with a sink supporting IRQ, the sink could "end" an output
handle when the buffer reaches the programmed limit and would try
to restart a handle. This could fail if there is not enough
space left the AUX buffer (e.g, the userspace has not consumed
the data). This leaves the "handle" disconnected from the "event"
and also the "perf_get_aux()" cleared. This all happens within
the sink driver, without the etm_perf driver being aware.
Now when the event is actually stopped, etm_event_stop()
will need to access the "event_data". But since the handle
is not valid anymore, we loose the information to stop the
"trace" path. So, we need a reliable way to access the etm_event_data
even when the handle may not be active.
This patch replaces the per_cpu handle array with a per_cpu context
for the ETM, which tracks the "handle" as well as the "etm_event_data".
The context notes the etm_event_data at etm_event_start() and clears
it at etm_event_stop(). This makes sure that we don't access a
stale "etm_event_data" as we are guaranteed that it is not
freed by free_aux() as long as the event is active and tracing,
also provides us with access to the critical information
needed to wind up a session even in the absence of an active
output_handle.
This is not an issue for the legacy sinks as none of them supports
an IRQ and is centrally handled by the etm-perf.
