Commit [bb1860efc817] changed the sink handling code introducing an
uninitialised pointer bug. This results in the default sink selection
failing.
Prior to commit:
static void etm_setup_aux(...)
<snip>
struct coresight_device *sink;
<snip>
/* First get the selected sink from user space. */
if (event->attr.config2) {
id = (u32)event->attr.config2;
sink = coresight_get_sink_by_id(id);
} else {
sink = coresight_get_enabled_sink(true);
}
<ctd>
*sink always initialised - possibly to NULL which triggers the
automatic sink selection.
After commit:
static void etm_setup_aux(...)
<snip>
struct coresight_device *sink;
<snip>
/* First get the selected sink from user space. */
if (event->attr.config2) {
id = (u32)event->attr.config2;
sink = coresight_get_sink_by_id(id);
}
<ctd>
*sink pointer uninitialised when not providing a sink on the perf command
line. This breaks later checks to enable automatic sink selection.
Fixes: bb1860efc817 ("coresight: etm: perf: Sink selection using sysfs is deprecated")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
