From 4617721c502b2ddaa4e324e86da4997edf738fa5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Rostedt Date: Wed, 2 Sep 2026 09:55:01 -0400 Subject: ftrace: Synchronize the initialization of ftrace_ops There's some internal state that ftrace_ops needs to have set, but since it can be declared outside of the ftrace.c code, it calls ftrace_ops_init() on the ops in every global function. The issue is that if two tasks call it on the same ops at the same time it is possible to have the initialization of one corrupt the initialization of the other call. Create a ops_mutex to use to synchronize every initialization of the ftrace_ops. The mutex is taken within checking the ftrace_ops flag that states it was initializied but the flag is checked again after the mutex has been taken. Checking first outside the mutex allows it to shortcut having to take the mutex. But then the check needs to be done again after the mute is taken in case of races.

Such functionality may help achieve better accuracy +in obtaining timestamps than using software counterparts i.e. ktime and +friends. + +This document describes the API that can be used by hardware timestamping +engine provider and consumer drivers that want to use the hardware timestamping +engine (HTE) framework.

An example of the typical timestamp data life cycle, for the GPIO line is +as follows:: + + - Monitors GPIO line change. + - Detects the state change on GPIO line. + - Converts timestamps in nanoseconds. + - Stores GPIO raw level in raw_level variable if the provider has that + hardware capability. + - Pushes this hte_ts_data object to HTE subsystem. + - HTE subsystem increments seq counter and invokes consumer provided callback. + Based on callback return value, the HTE core invokes secondary callback in + the thread context. + +HTE subsystem debugfs attributes +-------------------------------- +HTE subsystem creates debugfs attributes at ``/sys/kernel/debug/hte/``. +It also creates line/signal-related debugfs attributes at +``/sys/kernel/debug/hte//
