5.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: James Clark <james.clark@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 5afd032961e8465808c4bc385c06e7676fbe1951 ]
cs_etm__flush(), like cs_etm__sample() is an operation that generates a
sample and then swaps the current with the previous packet. Calling
flush after processing the queues results in two swaps which corrupts
the next sample. Therefore it wasn't appropriate to call flush here so
remove it.
Flushing is still done on a discontinuity to explicitly clear the last
branch buffer, but when the packet_queue fills up before reaching a
timestamp, that's not a discontinuity and the call to
cs_etm__process_traceid_queue() already generated samples and drained
the buffers correctly.
This is visible by looking for a branch that has the same target as the
previous branch and the following source is before the address of the
last target, which is impossible as execution would have had to have
gone backwards:
ffff800080849d40 _find_next_and_bit+0x78 => ffff80008011cadc update_sg_lb_stats+0x94
(packet_queue fills here before a timestamp, resulting in a flush and
branch target ffff80008011cadc is duplicated.)
ffff80008011cb1c update_sg_lb_stats+0xd4 => ffff80008011cadc update_sg_lb_stats+0x94
ffff8000801117c4 cpu_util+0x24 => ffff8000801117d4 cpu_util+0x34
After removing the flush the correct branch target is used for the
second sample, and ffff8000801117c4 is no longer before the previous
address:
ffff800080849d40 _find_next_and_bit+0x78 => ffff80008011cadc update_sg_lb_stats+0x94
ffff80008011cb1c update_sg_lb_stats+0xd4 => ffff8000801117a0 cpu_util+0x0
ffff8000801117c4 cpu_util+0x24 => ffff8000801117d4 cpu_util+0x34
Make sure that a final branch stack is output at the end of the trace
by calling cs_etm__end_block(). This is already done for both the
timeless decode paths.
