perf hisi-ptt: Fix PTT trace TLP header parsing

2026-09-11T09:50:53+00:00

commit 2b8a2e5d424f0b3369054305d0bf6a5b9faee6c1 upstream. TLP Headers traced by HiSilicon PCIe tune and trace device (PTT) in 4DW format are shown in the document as below: bits [31:30] [ 29:25 ][24][23][22][21][ 20:11 ][ 10:0 ] |-----|---------|---|---|---|---|-------------|-------------| DW0 [ Fmt ][ Type ][T9][T8][TH][SO][ Length ][ Time ] DW1 [ Header DW1 ] DW2 [ Header DW2 ] DW3 [ Header DW3 ] Problem: The DW0 bit field layout of the hisi_ptt_4dw union does not match the actual bit ordering in little-endian memory, causing incorrect field decoding. Test on Kunpeng 930 SOC, generating data flow with `iperf` commands: - server side: iperf -s - client side: iperf -c $ip_addr -t 30 Trace the TLP headers with hisi_ptt on server side at the same time: perf record -e hisi_ptt12_0/type=4,filter=0x05101,direction=2,format=0/ \ --max-size 50M -o perf.data & The trace aims to capture completion TLPs, learn more in the document: https://docs.kernel.org/trace/hisi-ptt.html Decode perf.data with hisi_ptt decoder: perf report -D The hisi_ptt decoder produces the following result: [...perf headers and other information] . ... HISI PTT data: size 8388608 bytes . 00000000: 68 87 20 94 Format 3 Type 1a T9 0 T8 1 TH 1 SO 1 Length 10 Time 4a1 . 00000004: 40 00 00 00 Header DW1 . 00000008: 40 00 01 51 Header DW2 . 0000000c: 00 00 00 00 Header DW3 [...other hisi_ptt TLP headers] According to PCIe r5.0 sec 2.2.1, the Fmt & Type of Cpl/CplD is supposed to be 8b'00001010' / 8b'01001010' However, the Format & Type decoder analyzing result is 8b'01111010'. It does not match field encodings of any TLP. Correct decoder result should be: [...perf headers and other information] . ... HISI PTT data: size 8388608 bytes . 00000000: 94 20 87 68 Format 2 Type a T9 0 T8 0 TH 0 SO 1 Length 10 Time 768 . 00000004: 00 00 00 40 Header DW1 . 00000008: 51 01 00 40 Header DW2 . 0000000c: 00 00 00 00 Header DW3 [...other hisi_ptt TLP headers] To solve the problem: 1. Drop the union and C bitfield struct, store the raw DW value in a plain uint32_t, and extract the fields with FIELD_GET() against GENMASK/BIT masks declared in the header so they can be reused by other translation units. The masks are portable across endianness and compilers. 2. Print all DW hex values in big-endian byte order for readability, matching the bit field layout shown in the 4DW format diagram. 3. Read the DW value with get_unaligned_le32() instead of an unaligned pointer cast, avoiding both strict-aliasing violations and alignment hazards on hosts that do not support unaligned access.

perf trace: Refactor augmented_raw_syscalls using bpf_for

2026-09-11T09:50:53+00:00

commit ea6992784d65ef2c01f3525217dbf3a44afa9917 upstream. The loop for processing syscall args in augment_raw_syscalls has a history of breaking with Clang updates, see e.g. commit 013eb043f37b ("perf trace: Fix BPF loading failure (-E2BIG)") from Clang 15 to 16. Now, a similar thing happened between Clang 21 and 22. While the issue is mitigated on the main line by a recent verifier update, it remains broken on the 6.12 and 6.18 stable branches: [linux-6.18.y]# sudo perf trace true libbpf: prog 'sys_enter': BPF program load failed: -E2BIG libbpf: prog 'sys_enter': -- BEGIN PROG LOAD LOG -- [...] BPF program is too large. Processed 1000001 insn processed 1000001 insns (limit 1000000) max_states_per_insn 40 total_states 37941 peak_states 232 mark_read 0 -- END PROG LOAD LOG -- libbpf: prog 'sys_enter': failed to load: -E2BIG libbpf: failed to load object 'augmented_raw_syscalls_bpf' libbpf: failed to load BPF skeleton 'augmented_raw_syscalls_bpf': -E2BIG Error: failed to get syscall or beauty map fd [...] The reason is that the loop is quite complex and the BPF verifier often struggles to prove that it terminates. Fix the issue by replacing the standard for loop with the bpf_for macro, which uses a numeric BPF iterator. This should prevent future breakages of this kind since the verifier has a much easier job proving that the loop terminates. Small adjustments were necessary for the loop to make it work. The main problem is that the verifier sometimes has problems with bpf_for loops that use a carry-over state, such as the `payload_offset` and `output` vars here, since the verifier tries to track their values too precisely and cannot prove loop convergence. To resolve the issue, we (1) explicitly recompute `payload_offset` in every iteration and (2) use a trick with adding a global zero to `output` to help the verifier forget its precise state and use a range instead. Finally, to keep backwards compatibility with older kernel versions that don't have bpf_for (i.e. numeric iterators), fall back to standard loop.

perf trace: Factor out BPF loop body

2026-09-11T09:50:53+00:00

commit acff3e1a9cc29a6a039b76b81a438c56016bc0e3 upstream. The BPF program in augmented_raw_syscalls uses a for loop to iterate all syscall arguments. The loop body is quite complex and often poses problems for the BPF verifier. As a preparation step for addressing this issue, factor out the loop body into a separate function.
