I get the following build warning in v5.4.75.
drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-etm-perf.c: In function 'etm_setup_aux':
drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-etm-perf.c:226:37: warning:
passing argument 1 of 'coresight_get_enabled_sink' makes pointer from integer without a cast
Actually, the warning is fatal, since the call is
sink = coresight_get_enabled_sink(true);
However, the argument to coresight_get_enabled_sink() is now a pointer.
The parameter change was introduced with commit 8fd52a21ab
("coresight: Make sysfs functional on topologies with per core sink").
In the upstream kernel, the call is removed with commit bb1860efc8
("coresight: etm: perf: Sink selection using sysfs is deprecated").
That commit alone would, however, likely not solve the problem.
It looks like at least two more commits would be needed.
716f5652a1 coresight: etm: perf: Fix warning caused by etm_setup_aux failure
8e264c52e1 coresight: core: Allow the coresight core driver to be built as a module
39a7661dcf coresight: Fix uninitialised pointer bug in etm_setup_aux()
Looking into the coresight code, I see several additional commits affecting
the sysfs interface since v5.4. I have no idea what would actually be needed
for stable code in v5.4.y, short of applying them all.
With all this in mind, I would suggest to revert commit 8fd52a21ab
("coresight: Make sysfs functional on topologies with per core sink")
from v5.4.y, especially since it is not marked as bug fix or for stable.
