<title>coresight: etm3x: Fix cntr_val_show() to match cntr_val_store() behavior</title>

<id>92f37721a33a65b8a0b8a9b437c172445300e372</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 41fb4e925528aefa4b7a5f76c7f81db99c0d0f38 upstream.

The cntr_val_show() function was intended to print the values of all
counters using a loop. However, due to a buffer overwrite issue with
sprintf(), it effectively only displayed the value of the last counter.

The companion function, cntr_val_store(), allows users to modify a
specific counter selected by 'cntr_idx'. To maintain consistency
between read and write operations and to align with the ETM4x driver
behavior, modify cntr_val_show() to report only the value of the
currently selected counter.

This change removes the loop and the "counter %d:" prefix, printing
only the hexadecimal value. It also adopts sysfs_emit() for standard
sysfs output formatting.

<title>hwtracing: hisi_ptt: Propagate DMA reset timeout in trace_start()</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 75d42d990335322852ed5f7ce324b701c0949d79 upstream.

hisi_ptt_wait_dma_reset_done() discards the return value of
readl_poll_timeout_atomic(). If the DMA engine does not complete its
reset within the timeout, hisi_ptt_trace_start() proceeds to start
tracing regardless.

Return a bool from hisi_ptt_wait_dma_reset_done(), consistent with the
other wait helpers in this driver. On timeout, log an error, de-assert
the reset bit, and return -ETIMEDOUT. Move ctrl-&gt;started to the
successful path so a failed start does not leave the trace marked as
active.

<title>intel_th: fix MSC output device reference leak</title>

intel_th_output_open() looks up the output device with
bus_find_device_by_devt(), which returns the device with a reference that
must be dropped after use.

commit 95fc36a234da ("intel_th: fix device leak on output open()")
attempted to drop the reference from intel_th_output_release(). However,
a successful open replaces file-&gt;f_op with the output driver file
operations before returning, so close runs the output driver release
callback instead.

For MSC outputs, close runs intel_th_msc_release(), which only removes
the per-file iterator and does not drop the device reference taken by
intel_th_output_open(). Consequently, every successful MSC output open
leaks one device reference.

Drop the device reference from intel_th_msc_release(), which is the
release path actually used for MSC output files. Remove the now-unused
intel_th_output_release() callback from intel_th_output_fops.

Pass KBUILD_MODNAME through the driver registration macro so that the
driver core can create the module symlink in sysfs for built-in drivers,
and fixup all callers.

The Rust platform adapter is updated to pass the module name through to
the new parameter.

Tested on qemu with:
- x86 defconfig + CONFIG_RUST
- arm64 defconfig + CONFIG_RUST + CONFIG_CORESIGHT stuff

Examples after this patch:

    /sys/bus/platform/drivers/...
        coresight-itnoc/module		-&gt; coresight_tnoc
        coresight-static-tpdm/module	-&gt; coresight_tpdm
        coresight-catu-platform/module	-&gt; coresight_catu
        serial8250/module		-&gt; 8250
        acpi-ged/module			-&gt; acpi

Rename coresight_init_driver() to coresight_init_driver_with_owner() and
replace it with a macro wrapper that passes THIS_MODULE implicitly. This
is in line with what other buses do.

When the SMB sink is used as a perf AUX sink, smb_update_buffer() calls
smb_sync_perf_buffer() to copy hardware trace data into the perf AUX ring
buffer pages. It derives pg_idx = head &gt;&gt; PAGE_SHIFT from @head, which is
handle-&gt;head, and indexes dst_pages[pg_idx]. The pg_idx %= nr_pages
normalization is only applied after the first loop iteration.

This leaves the initial page index underived from the buffer size, which
can result in an out-of-bounds write past dst_pages[] when head exceeds
the AUX buffer size.

Normalize head modulo the AUX buffer size before deriving the page index
and offset, mirroring tmc_etr_sync_perf_buffer().

<title>coresight: etb10: restore atomic_t for shared reading state</title>

<content type='text'>
The etb10 miscdevice uses drvdata-&gt;reading as a shared exclusivity gate
for userspace buffer access. etb_open() claims that gate with
local_cmpxchg(), and etb_release() clears it with local_set().

That gate is shared per-device state rather than CPU-local state. A
running system can reach it whenever /dev/&lt;etb&gt; is opened, closed, and
reopened by different tasks while the device remains registered, so the
same drvdata-&gt;reading variable may be claimed on one CPU and later
cleared on another.

This code used to use atomic_t for the same gate, but commit
27b10da8fff2 ("coresight: etb10: moving to local atomic operations")
changed it to local_t even though the access pattern remained cross-task
and cross-CPU. Restore atomic_t together with atomic_cmpxchg() and
atomic_set() so the exclusivity gate again uses a primitive intended
for shared state.

The issue was found on Linux v6.18.21 by our static analysis tool while
scanning surviving local_t-on-shared-state sites, and then manually
reviewed against the live etb10 file-op path.

It was runtime-validated with a reproducible QEMU no-device KCSAN PoC
that kept the same report-local contract:

  1. use one shared struct etb_drvdata carrier and its
     drvdata-&gt;reading gate;
  2. call etb_open() and etb_release() sequentially on that gate to
     confirm the original claim/clear path;
  3. bind the open side to CPU0 and the release side to CPU1 for the
     same gate to show cross-CPU ownership;
  4. run bound workers that repeatedly race etb_open() and
     etb_release() on the same gate until KCSAN reports a target hit.

The harness recorded:

  L1 passed open=1 release=1
  reading_after_open=1 reading_after_release=0
  L2 passed open_cpu=0 release_cpu=1
  cross_cpu_release=1 reading_after=0 open_ret=0

Representative KCSAN excerpt from the no-device validation run:

This no-device harness is not a real ETB10 hardware end-to-end run, but
it preserves the same shared drvdata-&gt;reading gate and the same
etb_open()/etb_release() claim/clear contract. No real ETB10 hardware
was available for runtime testing.

Build-tested with:
  make olddefconfig
  make -j"$(nproc)" drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-etb10.o

<title>coresight: platform: defer connection counter increment until alloc succeeds</title>

coresight_add_out_conn() increments nr_outconns before calling
devm_krealloc_array() and again before devm_kmalloc(). If either
allocation fails, the counter is already bumped while the corresponding
array entry is NULL or uninitialized garbage.

coresight_add_in_conn() has the same problem with nr_inconns and
devm_krealloc_array().

In both cases the probe returns -ENOMEM, which causes
coresight_get_platform_data() to call coresight_release_platform_data()
for cleanup. That function iterates up to nr_outconns (or nr_inconns)
entries and dereferences each pointer unconditionally, hitting the NULL
or garbage entry and panicking instead of failing gracefully.

Fix by moving the counter increments to after all allocations succeed,
so the struct is always consistent on any error path.
