[PATCH v7 08/13] coresight: etm4x: fix inconsistencies with sysfs configuration

Tue May 19 08:48:07 PDT 2026
The current ETM4x configuration via sysfs can lead to
several inconsistencies:
- If the configuration is modified via sysfs while a perf session is
active, the running configuration may differ before a sched-out and
after a subsequent sched-in.
- If a perf session and a sysfs session enable tracing concurrently,
the configuration from configfs may become corrupted.
- There is a risk of corrupting drvdata->config if a perf session enables
tracing while cscfg_csdev_disable_active_config() is being handled in
etm4_disable_sysfs().
To resolve these issues, separate the configuration into:
- active_config: the configuration applied to the current session
- config: the configuration set via sysfs
Additionally:
- Apply the configuration from configfs after taking the appropriate mode.
- Since active_config and related fields are accessed only by the local CPU
in etm4_enable/disable_sysfs_smp_call() (similar to perf enable/disable),
remove the lock/unlock from the sysfs enable/disable path and
startup/dying_cpu except when to access config fields.
