The evsel__handle_error_quirks() is to fixup invalid event attributes on
some architecture based on the error code. Currently it's only used for
AMD to disable precise_ip not to use IBS which has more restrictions.
But the commit c33aea446b changed call evsel__precise_ip_fallback
for any errors so there's no difference with the above function. To
make matter worse, it caused a problem with branch stack on Zen3.
The IBS doesn't support branch stack so it should use a regular core
PMU event. The default event is set precise_max and it starts with 3.
And evsel__precise_ip_fallback() tries with it and reduces the level one
by one. At last it tries with 0 but it also failed on Zen3 since the
branch stack is not supported for the cycles event.
At this point, evsel__precise_ip_fallback() restores the original
precise_ip value (3) in the hope that it can succeed with other modifier
(like exclude_kernel). Then evsel__handle_error_quirks() see it has
precise_ip != 0 and make it retry with 0. This created an infinite
loop.

In 7cecb7fe83 ("perf hists: Move sort__has_comm into struct
perf_hpp_list") it assumes that act->thread is set prior to calling
do_zoom_thread().
This doesn't happen when we use ESC or the Left arrow key to Zoom out of
a specific thread, making this operation not to work and we get stuck
into the thread zoom.
In 6422184b08 ("perf hists browser: Simplify zooming code using
pstack_peek()") it says no need to set actions->thread, and at that
point that was true, but in 7cecb7fe83 a actions->thread == NULL
check was added before the zoom out of thread could kick in.
We can zoom out using the alternative 't' thread zoom toggle hotkey to
finally set actions->thread before calling do_zoom_thread() and zoom
out, but lets also fix the ESC/Zoom out of thread case.

In the past (like before 2015) we had the familiar workflow of using
ENTER to get the menu and then zoom on a pid or DSO, kernel, etc and
then use UP and DOWN to navigate further, etc, and then when wanting to
go to the previous level, i.e. to Zoom out, use the LEFT arrow key.
This way the right hand stays in the arrow keys block that is near the
enter and we can go around real quickly.
But then, when we started supporting horizontal scrolling by columns to
support things like 'perf c2c report' that has lots of columns, we
switched to using the LEFT key exclusively for that, horizontal
scrolling, requiring the user to press 'm' to get a "context menu" that
then would allow users to select the Zoom out operation.
Ingo recently reported this as not intuitive, which is true, so lets
overload the LEFT key with both meanings, by doing a Zoom out operation
if the LEFT key is pressed when we're on the first column, but use it
also for horizontal scrolling if it is pressed when the cursor is on
column > 1.

And looking at tools/perf/Makefile.config I also noticed that it is not
opt-in, meaning we will attempt to build with it in all normal cases.
So add the usual warning at build time to let the user know that
something recommended is missing, now we see:

And after following the recommendation:

[ Folded patch from Ingo to have the debian/ubuntu devel package added build warning message ]
Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
Ingo reported that it was difficult to understand why libunwind support
didn't link even when he had the usual libunwind-dev files installed in
his machine.
This is because libunwind became opt-in, the user has to use
LIBUNWIND=1, as it was deemed stalled in its development/unsuitable for
use with perf, IIRC, and so we better use the elfutils equivalent
routine that we also supported for ages.
But the build message still printed:
Auto-detecting system features:
... libdw: [ on ]
... glibc: [ on ]
<SNIP>
... libcrypto: [ on ]
... libunwind: [ OFF ]
<SNIP>
Which is confusing, so allow for having a tip when 'perf version
--build-options' is used, and variants with 'perf check feature':
$ perf version --build-options | grep libunwind
libunwind: [ OFF ] # HAVE_LIBUNWIND_SUPPORT ( tip: Deprecated, use LIBUNWIND=1 and install libunwind-dev[el] to build with it )
$
$ perf check feature libunwind
libunwind: [ OFF ] # HAVE_LIBUNWIND_SUPPORT ( tip: Deprecated, use LIBUNWIND=1 and install libunwind-dev[el] to build with it )
$
The next patches will remove the opt-in libunwind FEATURES_DISPLAY.

It is just 'perf check' that uses that macro, to initialize the list of
features built into perf, so move it there.
This also avoids depending on things that are not included from
builtin.h, like is_builtin(), the CONFIG_ macros, etc, that are all
included in 'builtin-check.c' and before where this macro was moved to.

The tools/build/feature/test-all.c file tries to detect the expected,
most common set of libraries/features we expect to have available to
build perf with.
At some point libunwind was deemed not to be part of that set of
libries, but the patches making it to be opt-in ended up forgetting some
details, fix one more.
Testing it:
$ rm -rf /tmp/build/$(basename $PWD)/ ; mkdir -p /tmp/build/$(basename $PWD)/
$ rpm -q libunwind-devel

Should be in a separate patch, but tired now, so also adding a message
about the need to use LIBUNWIND=1 in the output when its not available,
so done here as well.
So, now when the devel files are not available we get:
$ make -k LIBUNWIND=1 CORESIGHT=1 O=/tmp/build/$(basename $PWD)/ -C tools/perf install-bin |& grep unwind && ldd ~/bin/perf | grep unwind
Makefile.config:653: No libunwind found. Please install libunwind-dev[el] >= 1.1 and/or set LIBUNWIND_DIR and set LIBUNWIND=1 in the make command line as it is opt-in now
... libunwind: [ OFF ]

Thus, rename the hrtimer_init trace event to hrtimer_setup to keep it

perf record
-----------
* Introduce latency profiling using scheduler information. The latency
profiling is to show impacts on wall-time rather than cpu-time. By
tracking context switches, it can weight samples and find which part
of the code contributed more to the execution latency.
The value (period) of the sample is weighted by dividing it by the
number of parallel execution at the moment. The parallelism is
tracked in perf report with sched-switch records. This will reduce
the portion that are run in parallel and in turn increase the portion
of serial executions.
For now, it's limited to profile processes, IOW system-wide profiling
is not supported. You can add --latency option to enable this.
$ perf record --latency -- make -C tools/perf
I've run the above command for perf build which adds -j option to
make with the number of CPUs in the system internally. Normally
it'd show something like below:
$ perf report -F overhead,comm
...
#
# Overhead Command
# ........ ...............
#
78.97% cc1
6.54% python3
4.21% shellcheck
3.28% ld
1.80% as
1.37% cc1plus
0.80% sh
0.62% clang
0.56% gcc
0.44% perl
0.39% make
...
The cc1 takes around 80% of the overhead as it's the actual compiler.
However it runs in parallel so its contribution to latency may be less
than that. Now, perf report will show both overhead and latency (if
--latency was given at record time) like below:
$ perf report -s comm
...
#
# Overhead Latency Command
# ........ ........ ...............
#
78.97% 48.66% cc1
6.54% 25.68% python3
4.21% 0.39% shellcheck
3.28% 13.70% ld
1.80% 2.56% as
1.37% 3.08% cc1plus
0.80% 0.98% sh
0.62% 0.61% clang
0.56% 0.33% gcc
0.44% 1.71% perl
0.39% 0.83% make
...
You can see latency of cc1 goes down to around 50% and python3 and ld
contribute a lot more than their overhead. You can use --latency
option in perf report to get the same result but ordered by latency.
$ perf report --latency -s comm
perf report
-----------
* As a side effect of the latency profiling work, it adds a new output
field 'latency' and a sort key 'parallelism'. The below is a result
from my system with 64 CPUs. The build was well-parallelized but
contained some serial portions.
$ perf report -s parallelism

* Support Feodra mini-debuginfo which is a LZMA compressed symbol table
inside ".gnu_debugdata" ELF section.
perf annotate
-------------
* Add --code-with-type option to enable data-type profiling with the
usual annotate output. Instead of focusing on data structure, it
shows code annotation together with data type it accesses in case the
instruction refers to a memory location (and it was able to resolve
the target data type). Currently it only works with --stdio.

The previous change to support cgroup filters introduced a bug that
pathname can include commas. It confused the lexer to treat an item and
the trailing comma as a single token. And it resulted in a parse error:
$ sudo perf record -e cycles:P --filter 'period > 0, ip > 64' -- true
perf_bpf_filter: Error: Unexpected item: 0,
perf_bpf_filter: syntax error, unexpected BFT_ERROR, expecting BFT_NUM
Usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>]
or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]
--filter <filter>
event filter
It should get "0" and "," separately.
An easiest fix would be to remove "," from the possible pathname
characters. As it's for cgroup names, probably ok to assume it won't
have commas in the pathname.
I found that the existing BPF filtering test didn't have any complex
filter condition with commas. Let's update the group filter test which
is supposed to test filter combinations like this.

The env.pmu_mapping can be leaked when it reads data from a pipe on AMD.
For a pipe data, it reads the header data including pmu_mapping from

perf_session__new()

Then it'll overwrite that when it processes the HEADER_FEATURE record.

In linux-next
commit c760174401 ("perf cpumap: Reduce cpu size from int to int16_t")
causes the perf tests 100 126 to fail on s390:
Output before:
# ./perf test 100
100: perf trace BTF general tests : FAILED!
#
The root cause is the change from int to int16_t for the
cpu maps. The size of the CPU key value pair changes from
four bytes to two bytes. However a two byte key size is
not supported for bpf_map__update_elem().
Note: validate_map_op() in libbpf.c emits warning
libbpf: map '__augmented_syscalls__': \
unexpected key size 2 provided, expected 4
when key size is set to int16_t.
Therefore change to variable size back to 4 bytes for
invocation of bpf_map__update_elem().
Output after:
# ./perf test 100
100: perf trace BTF general tests : Ok
#

The function worker_thread() is programmed in a way that roughly
doubles the number of expectable context switches, because it enforces
blocking reads:
Performance counter stats for 'perf bench sched pipe':
2,000,004 context-switches
11.859548321 seconds time elapsed
0.674871000 seconds user
8.076890000 seconds sys
The result of this behavior is that the blocking reads by far dominate
the performance analysis of 'perf bench sched pipe':
Samples: 78K of event 'cycles:P', Event count (approx.): 27964965844
Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol
25.28% sched-pipe [kernel.kallsyms] [k] read_hpet
8.11% sched-pipe [kernel.kallsyms] [k] retbleed_untrain_ret
2.82% sched-pipe [kernel.kallsyms] [k] pipe_write
From the code, it is unclear if that behavior is wanted but the log
says that at least Ingo Molnar aims to mimic lmbench's lat_ctx, that
doesn't handle the pipe ends that way
(https://sourceforge.net/p/lmbench/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/lmbench2/src/lat_ctx.c)
Fix worker_thread() by always first feeding the write ends of the pipes
and then trying to read.
This roughly halves the context switches and runtime of pure
'perf bench sched pipe':
Performance counter stats for 'perf bench sched pipe':
1,005,770 context-switches
6.033448041 seconds time elapsed

extreme:

When enabling the libperl feature the build uses perl's build flags
(ccopts) but filters out various flags, e.g. for LTO.
While this is conceptually correct, it is insufficient in practice,
since only "-flto=auto" is filtered out. When perl itself is built with
"-flto" this can cause parts of perf being built with LTO and others
without, giving exciting build errors like e.g.:
../tools/perf/pmu-events/pmu-events.c:72851:(.text+0xb79): undefined
reference to `strcmp_cpuid_str' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Fix this by filtering all matching flag values of -flto{=n,auto,..}.

Rather than generating individual syscall header files generate a
single trace/beauty/generated/syscalltbl.c. In a syscalltbls array
have references to each architectures tables along with the
corresponding e_machine. When the 32-bit or 64-bit table is ambiguous,
match the perf binary's type. For ARM32 don't use the arm64 32-bit
table which is smaller. EM_NONE is present for is no machine matches.
Conditionally compile the tables, only having the appropriate 32 and
64-bit table. If ALL_SYSCALLTBL is defined all tables can be
compiled.

The syscalltbl held entries of system call name and number pairs,
generated from a native syscalltbl at start up. As there are gaps in
the system call number there is a notion of index into the
table. Going forward we want the system call table to be identifiable
by a machine type, for example, i386 vs x86-64. Change the interface
to the syscalltbl so (1) a (currently unused machine type of EM_HOST)
is passed (2) the index to syscall number and system call name mapping
is computed at build time.
Two tables are used for this, an array of system call number to name,
an array of system call numbers sorted by the system call name. The
sorted array doesn't store strings in part to save memory and
relocations. The index notion is carried forward and is an index into
the sorted array of system call numbers, the data structures are
opaque (held only in syscalltbl.c), and so the number of indices for a
machine type is exposed as a new API.
The arrays are computed in the syscalltbl.sh script and so no start-up
time computation and storage is necessary.

Identify struct syscall information in the syscalls table by a machine
type and syscall number, not just system call number. Having the
machine type means that 32-bit system calls can be differentiated from
64-bit ones on a machine capable of both. Having a table for all
machine types and all system call numbers would be too large, so
maintain a sorted array of system calls as they are encountered.

The definition of "static const char *const syscalltbl[] = {" is done
in a generated syscalls_32.h or syscalls_64.h that is architecture
dependent. In order to include the appropriate file a syscall_table.h
is found via the perf include path and it includes the syscalls_32.h
or syscalls_64.h as appropriate.
To support having multiple syscall tables, one for 32-bit and one for
64-bit, or for different architectures, an include path cannot be
used. Remove syscall_table.h because of this and inline what it does
into syscalltbl.c.
For architectures without a syscall_table.h this will cause a failure
to include either syscalls_32.h or syscalls_64.h rather than a failure
to include syscall_table.h. For architectures that only included one
or other, the behavior matches BITS_PER_LONG as previously done on
architectures supporting both syscalls_32.h and syscalls_64.h.

Kernel modules for which we cannot find a file on-disk will have a
dso->long_name that looks like "[module_name]". Prior to the commit
listed in the fixes, the dso->kernel field would be zero (for user
space), so dso__is_kallsyms() would return false. After the commit,
kernel module DSOs are correctly labeled, but the result is that
dso__is_kallsyms() erroneously returns true for those modules without a
filesystem path.
Later, build_id_cache__add() consults this value of is_kallsyms, and
when true, it copies /proc/kallsyms into the cache. Users with many
kernel modules without a filesystem path (e.g. ksplice or possibly
kernel live patch modules) have reported excessive disk space usage in
the build ID cache directory due to this behavior.
To reproduce the issue, it's enough to build a trivial out-of-tree hello
world kernel module, load it using insmod, and then use:
perf record -ag -- sleep 1
In the build ID directory, there will be a directory for your module
name containing a kallsyms file.
Fix this up by changing dso__is_kallsyms() to consult the
dso_binary_type enumeration, which is also symmetric to the above checks
for dso__is_vmlinux() and dso__is_kcore(). With this change, kallsyms is
not cached in the build-id cache for out-of-tree modules.

The pyrf_event__new() method copies the event obtained from the perf
ring buffer to a structure that will then be turned into a python object
for further consumption, so it copies perf_event.header.size bytes to
its 'event' member:
$ pahole -C pyrf_event /tmp/build/perf-tools-next/python/perf.cpython-312-x86_64-linux-gnu.so
struct pyrf_event {
PyObject ob_base; /* 0 16 */
struct evsel * evsel; /* 16 8 */
struct perf_sample sample; /* 24 312 */
/* XXX last struct has 7 bytes of padding, 2 holes */
/* --- cacheline 5 boundary (320 bytes) was 16 bytes ago --- */
union perf_event event; /* 336 4168 */

/* member types with holes: 1, total: 2 */
/* paddings: 1, sum paddings: 7 */
/* last cacheline: 24 bytes */
};
$
It was doing so without checking if the event just obtained has more
than that space, fix it.
This isn't a proper, final solution, as we need to support larger
events, but for the time being we at least bounds check and document it.

When processing tracepoints the perf python binding was parsing the
event before calling perf_mmap__consume(&md->core) in
pyrf_evlist__read_on_cpu().
But part of this event parsing was to set the perf_sample->raw_data
pointer to the payload of the event, which then could be overwritten by
other event before tracepoint fields were asked for via event.prev_comm
in a python program, for instance.
This also happened with other fields, but strings were were problems
were surfacing, as there is UTF-8 validation for the potentially garbled
data.
This ended up showing up as (with some added debugging messages):
( field 'prev_comm' ret=0x7f7c31f65110, raw_size=68 ) ( field 'prev_pid' ret=0x7f7c23b1bed0, raw_size=68 ) ( field 'prev_prio' ret=0x7f7c239c0030, raw_size=68 ) ( field 'prev_state' ret=0x7f7c239c0250, raw_size=68 ) time 14771421785867 prev_comm= prev_pid=1919907691 prev_prio=796026219 prev_state=0x303a32313175 ==>

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: 'perf.sample_event' object has no attribute 'next_comm'
When event.next_comm was asked for, the PyUnicode_FromString() python
API would fail and that tracepoint field wouldn't be available, stopping
the tools/perf/python/tracepoint.py test tool.
But, since we already do a copy of the whole event in pyrf_event__new,
just use it and while at it remove what was done in in e8968e6541
("perf python: Fix pyrf_evlist__read_on_cpu event consuming") because we
don't really need to wait for parsing the sample before declaring the
event as consumed.
This copy is questionable as is now, as it limits the maximum event +
sample_type and tracepoint payload to sizeof(union perf_event), this all
has been "working" because 'struct perf_event_mmap2', the largest entry
in 'union perf_event' is:
$ pahole -C perf_event ~/bin/perf | grep mmap2

Test case "stat_all_pmu.sh" is not correctly checking 'perf stat' output
due to a poor design. Firstly, having the 'set -e' option with a trap
catching the sigexit causes the shell to exit immediately if 'perf stat' ends
with any non-zero value, which is then caught by the trap reporting an
unexpected signal. This causes events that should be parsed by the if-else
statement to be caught by the trap handler and are reported as errors:
$ perf test -vv "perf all pmu"
Testing i915/actual-frequency/
Unexpected signal in main
Error:
Access to performance monitoring and observability operations is limited.
Secondly, the if-else branches are not exclusive as the checking if the
event is present in the output log covers also the "<not supported>"
events, which should be accepted, and also the "Bad name events", which
should be rejected.
Remove the "set -e" option from the test case, correctly parse the
"perf stat" output log and check its return value. Add the missing
outputs for the 'perf stat' result and also add logs messages to
report the branch that parsed the event for more info.

Sometimes it's useful to see both instructions and their data type
together. Let's extend the annotate code to use data type profiling
functions.
To make it easy to pass more argument, introduce a struct to carry
necessary information together. Also add a new annotation_option called
'code_with_type' to control the behavior. This is not enabled yet but
it'll be set later from the command line.
For simplicity, this is implemented for --stdio only.

In the case of '{instructions,slots},faults,topdown-retiring' the
first event that must be grouped, slots, is ignored causing the
topdown-retiring event not to be adjacent to the group it needs to be
inserted into. Don't ignore the group members when computing the
force_grouped_index.
Make the force_grouped_index be for the leader of the group it is
within and always use it first rather than a group leader index so
that topdown events may be sorted from one group into another.
As the PMU name comparison applies to moving events in the same group
ensure the name ordering is always respected.
Change the group splitting logic to not group if there are no other
topdown events and to fix cases where the force group leader wasn't
being grouped with the other members of its group.

When running topdown leader smapling test on Intel hybrid platforms,
such as LNL/ARL, we see the below error.
Topdown leader sampling test
Topdown leader sampling [Failed topdown events not reordered correctly]
It indciates the below command fails.
perf record -o "${perfdata}" -e "{instructions,slots,topdown-retiring}:S" true
The root cause is that perf tool creats a perf event for each PMU type
if it can create.
As for this command, there would be 5 perf events created,
cpu_atom/instructions/,cpu_atom/topdown_retiring/,
cpu_core/slots/,cpu_core/instructions/,cpu_core/topdown-retiring/
For these 5 events, the 2 cpu_atom events are in a group and the other 3
cpu_core events are in another group.
When arch_topdown_sample_read() traverses all these 5 events, events
cpu_atom/instructions/ and cpu_core/slots/ don't have a same group
leade, and then return false directly and lead to cpu_core/slots/ event
is used to sample and this is not allowed by PMU driver.
It's a overkill to return false directly if "evsel->core.leader !=
leader->core.leader" since there could be multiple groups in the event
list.
Just "continue" instead of "return false" to fix this issue.

When preparing the mem events for the argv copies are intentionally
made. These copies are leaked and cause runs of perf using address
sanitizer to fail. Rather than leak the memory allocate a chunk of
memory for the mem event names upfront and build the strings in this -
the storage is sized larger than the previous buffer size. The caller
is then responsible for clearing up this memory. As part of this
change, remove the mem_loads_name and mem_stores_name global buffers
then change the perf_pmu__mem_events_name to write to an out argument

When doing "perf annotate", perf tool provides option to
use specific disassembler like llvm/objdump/capstone. The
order picked is to use llvm first and if that fails fallback
to objdump ie to use PERF_DISASM_LLVM, PERF_DISASM_CAPSTONE
and PERF_DISASM_OBJDUMP
In powerpc, when using "data type" sort keys, first preferred
approach is to read the raw instruction from the DSO. In objdump
is specified in "--objdump" option, it picks the symbol disassemble
using objdump. Currently disasm_line__parse_powerpc() function
uses length of the "line" to determine if objdump is used.
But there are few cases, where if objdump doesn't recognise the
instruction, the disassembled string will be empty.
Example:
134cdc: c4 05 82 41 beq 1352a0 <getcwd+0x6e0>
134ce0: ac 00 8e 40 bne cr3,134d8c <getcwd+0x1cc>
134ce4: 0f 00 10 04 pld r9,1028308
====>134ce8: d4 b0 20 e5
134cec: 16 00 40 39 li r10,22
134cf0: 48 01 21 ea ld r17,328(r1)
So depending on length of line will give bad results.
Add a new filed to annotation options structure,

The length of PERF_RECORD_KSYMBOL for BPF is a size of JITed code so
it'd be 0 when it's not JITed. The ksymbol is needed to symbolize the
code when it gets samples in the region but non-JITed code cannot get
samples. Thus it'd be ok to ignore them.
Actually it caused a performance issue in the perf tools on old ARM
kernels where it can refuse to JIT some BPF codes. It ended up
splitting the existing kernel map (kallsyms). And later lookup for a
kernel symbol would create a new kernel map from kallsyms and then
split it again and again. :(
Probably there's a bug in the kernel map/symbol handling in perf tools.
But I think we need to fix this anyway.

This was detected at the end of a 'perf record' session when build-id
collection was enabled and thus the BPF programs put in place while the
session was running, some even put in place by perf itself were
processed and inserted, with some overlaps related to BPF trampolines
and programs took place.
Using maps__fixup_overlap_and_insert() instead of maps__insert() "fixes"
the problem, in the sense that overlaps will be dealt with and then the
consistency will be kept, but it would be interesting to fully
understand why such overlaps take place and how to deal with them when
doing symbol resolution.

Some fields, such as data_src, are not included by default.
The cause is that while one PMU may be assigned a type such as
PERF_TYPE_RAW, other core PMU's are dynamically allocated at boot time.
If this value does not match an existing PERF_TYPE_X value,
output_type(perf_event_attr.type) will return OUTPUT_TYPE_OTHER.
Instead search for a core PMU with a matching perf_event_attr type
and, if one is found, return PERF_TYPE_RAW to match output of other
core PMU's.

When FEAT_SPE_PBT is implemented, the previous branch target address
(named as PBT) before the sampled operation, will be recorded.
This commit first introduces a 'prev_br_tgt' field in the record for
saving the PBT address in the decoder.
If the current operation is a branch instruction, by combining with PBT,
it can create a chain with two consecutive branches. As the branch
stack stores branches in descending order, meaning a newer branch is
stored in a lower entry in the stack. Arm SPE stores the latest branch
in the first entry of branch stack, and the previous branch coming from
PBT is stored into the second entry.
Otherwise, if current operation is not a branch, the last branch will be
saved for PBT only. PBT lacks associated information such as branch
source address, branch type, and events. The branch entry fills zeros
for the corresponding fields and only set its target address.

Branch types and events are two different things. A branch type can be
a conditional branch, an indirect branch, a procedure call, a return, or
an exception taken, etc. The extra event information is provided for
what happens during a branch, e.g. if a branch is mispredicted or not
taken (specific to conditional branches).
To deliver information about branches, this commit separates events from
branch types. It parses branch types first, then appends event strings
embraced by the '/' character. If multiple events occur, the events is
separated with a comma (,).
Also add a minor improvement by adding char 'm' in char array for branch
mispredict event.
Below are extracted sample flags.

When generating a string for sample flags, the sample_flags_to_name()
function lacks the ability to parse the trace start bit or trace end bit.
Therefore, the function is invoked multiple times after clearing its
unsupported bits.
This commit improves the sample_flags_to_name() function to parse sample
flags in one go for three kinds of information:
- The prefix info for trace start, trace end, etc.
- Branch types.
- Extra info for transaction and interrupt related info.
As a result, the code is simplified to call the sample_flags_to_name()
only once. No expectation for any changes in the perf script output.

Legacy hybrid events have attr.type == PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE, so they look
like plain legacy events if we only look at attr.type. But legacy events
should still be uniquified if they were opened on a non-legacy PMU. Fix
it by checking if the evsel is hybrid and forcing needs_uniquify
before looking at the attr.type.
This restores PMU names on hybrid systems and also changes "perf stat
metrics (shadow stat) test" from a FAIL back to a SKIP (on hybrid). The
test was gated on "cycles" appearing alone which doesn't happen on
here.

Building perf in-tree is broken after commit 890a1961c8 ("perf tools:
Create source symlink in perf object dir") which added a 'source' symlink
in the output dir pointing to the source dir.
With in-tree builds, the added 'SOURCE = ...' line is executed multiple
times (I observed 2 during the build plus 2 during installation). This is a
minor inefficiency, in theory not harmful because symlink creation is
assumed to be idempotent. But it is not.
Considering with in-tree builds:
srctree=/absolute/path/to/linux
OUTPUT=/absolute/path/to/linux/tools/perf
here's what happens:
1. ln -sf $(srctree)/tools/perf $(OUTPUT)/source
-> creates /absolute/path/to/linux/tools/perf/source
link to /absolute/path/to/linux/tools/perf
=> OK, that's what was intended
2. ln -sf $(srctree)/tools/perf $(OUTPUT)/source # same command as 1
-> creates /absolute/path/to/linux/tools/perf/perf
link to /absolute/path/to/linux/tools/perf
=> Not what was intended, not idempotent
3. Now the build _should_ create the 'perf' executable, but it fails
The reason is the tricky 'ln' command line. At the first invocation 'ln'
uses the 1st form:
ln [OPTION]... [-T] TARGET LINK_NAME
and creates a link to TARGET *called LINK_NAME*.
At the second invocation $(OUTPUT)/source exists, so 'ln' uses the 3rd
form:
ln [OPTION]... TARGET... DIRECTORY
and creates a link to TARGET *called TARGET* inside DIRECTORY.
Fix by adding -n/--no-dereference to "treat LINK_NAME as a normal file
if it is a symbolic link to a directory", as the manpage says.

This implements per-callstack aggregation of lock owners in addition to
per-thread. The owner callstack is captured using `bpf_get_task_stack()`
at `contention_begin()` and it also adds a custom stackid function for the
owner stacks to be compared easily.
The owner info is kept in a hash map using lock addr as a key to handle
multiple waiters for the same lock. At `contention_end()`, it updates the
owner lock stat based on the info that was saved at `contention_begin()`.
If there are more waiters, it'd update the owner pid to itself as
`contention_end()` means it gets the lock now. But it also needs to check
the return value of the lock function in case task was killed by a signal
or something.

Fewer than 32k logical CPUs are currently supported by perf. A cpumap
is indexed by an integer (see perf_cpu_map__cpu) yielding a perf_cpu
that wraps a 4-byte int for the logical CPU - the wrapping is done
deliberately to avoid confusing a logical CPU with an index into a
cpumap. Using a 4-byte int within the perf_cpu is larger than required
so this patch reduces it to the 2-byte int16_t. For a cpumap
containing 16 entries this will reduce the array size from 64 to 32
bytes. For very large servers with lots of logical CPUs the size
savings will be greater.

After pmu_add_cpu_aliases() is called, perf_pmu__num_events() returns an
incorrect value that double counts common events and doesn't match the
actual count of events in the alias list. This is because after
'cpu_aliases_added == true', the number of events returned is
'sysfs_aliases + cpu_json_aliases'. But when adding 'case
EVENT_SRC_SYSFS' events, 'sysfs_aliases' and 'cpu_json_aliases' are both
incremented together, failing to account that these ones overlap and
only add a single item to the list. Fix it by adding another counter for
overlapping events which doesn't influence 'cpu_json_aliases'.
There doesn't seem to be a current issue because it's used in perf list
before pmu_add_cpu_aliases() so the correct value is returned. Other
uses in tests may also miss it for other reasons like only looking at
uncore events. However it's marked as a fixes commit in case any new fix
with new uses of perf_pmu__num_events() is backported.

When trying to find matching dwarf information entry (DIE)
from the debuginfo, the code incorrectly picks DIE which is
not referring to vfs_fstatat. Snippet from dwarf entry in vmlinux

The main abstract die is:

<4214885> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x17b9f3): vfs_fstatat

<2><42148bd>: Abbrev Number: 23 (DW_TAG_formal_parameter)
<42148be> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x39832b): flags
While collecting variables/parameters for a probe point, the function
copy_variables_cb() also looks at dwarf debug entries based on the
instruction address. Snippet
if (dwarf_haspc(die_mem, vf->pf->addr))
return DIE_FIND_CB_CONTINUE;
else
return DIE_FIND_CB_SIBLING;
But incase of inlined function instance for vfs_fstatat, there are two
entries which has the instruction address entry point as same.
Instance 1: which is for vfs_fstatat and DW_AT_abstract_origin points to
0x4214883 (reference above for main abstract die)
<3><42131fa>: Abbrev Number: 59 (DW_TAG_inlined_subroutine)
<42131fb> DW_AT_abstract_origin: <0x4214883>
<42131ff> DW_AT_entry_pc : 0xc00000000062b1e0
Instance 2: which is not for vfs_fstatat but for getname
<5><4213270>: Abbrev Number: 39 (DW_TAG_inlined_subroutine)
<4213271> DW_AT_abstract_origin: <0x4215b6b>
<4213275> DW_AT_entry_pc : 0xc00000000062b1e0
But the copy_variables_cb() continues to add parameters from second
instance also based on the dwarf_haspc() check. This results in
formal parameters for getname also appended to params. But while
filling in the args->value for these parameters, since these args
are not part of dwarf with offset "42131fa". Hence value will be
null. This incorrect args results in segfault when value field is
accessed.
Save the dwarf dieoffset of the actual DW_TAG_subprogram as part of
"struct probe_finder". In copy_variables_cb(), include check to make
sure the DW_AT_abstract_origin points to the correct entry if the
dwarf_haspc() matches the instruction address.

The max-latency value can make the histogram smaller, but not larger, we
have a maximum of 22 buckets and specifying a max-latency that would
require more buckets has no effect.
Dynamically allocate the buckets and compute the bucket number from the
max latency as (max-min) / range + 2
If the maximum is not specified, we still set the bucket number to 22
and compute the maximum accordingly.
Fail if the maximum is smaller than min+range, this way we make sure we
always have 3 buckets: those below min, those above max and one in the
middle.
Since max-latency is not available in log2 mode, always use 22 buckets.

Prior to commit 70c90e4a6b ("perf parse-events: Avoid scanning PMUs
before parsing") names (generally event names) excluded hyphen (minus)
symbols as the formation of legacy names with hyphens was handled in
the yacc code. That commit allowed hyphens supposedly making
name_minus unnecessary. However, changing name_minus to name has
issues in the term config tokens as then name ends up having priority
over numbers and name allows matching numbers since commit
5ceb57990b ("perf parse: Allow tracepoint names to start with digits
"). It is also permissable for a name to match with a colon (':') in
it when its in a config term list. To address this rename name_minus
to term_name, make the pattern match name's except for the colon, add
number matching into the config term region with a higher priority
than name matching. This addresses an inconsistency and allows greater
matching for names inside of term lists, for example, they may start
with a number.
Rename name_tag to quoted_name and update comments and helper
functions to avoid str detecting quoted strings which was already done
by the lexer.

When testing perf trace on NixOS, I noticed significant startup delays:
- `ls`: ~2ms
- `strace ls`: ~10ms
- `perf trace ls`: ~550ms
Profiling showed that 51% of the time is spent reading files,
26% in loading BPF programs, and 11% in `newfstatat`.
This patch optimizes module path exploration by avoiding `stat()` calls
unless necessary. For filesystems that do not implement `d_type`
(DT_UNKNOWN), it falls back to the old behavior.
See `readdir(3)` for details.
This reduces `perf trace ls` time to ~500ms.
A more thorough startup optimization based on command parameters would
be ideal, but that is a larger effort.

will turn on the callchains if the data has PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN so I

The 's' key is to switch to a new data file and load the data in the
same window. The switch_data_file() will show a popup menu to select
which data file user wants and update the 'input_name' global variable.
But in the cmd_report(), it didn't update the data.path using the new
'input_name' and keep usng the old file. This is fairly an old bug and
I assume people don't use this feature much. :)

In sysfs, the perf events are all located in
/sys/bus/event_source/devices/ but some places ended up hard-coding the
location to be at the root of /sys/devices/ which could be very risky as
you do not exactly know what type of device you are accessing in sysfs
at that location.
So fix this all up by properly pointing everything at the bus device
list instead of the root of the sysfs devices/ tree.

A recent change in the flamegraph script fixed an issue with live mode
but it created another for offline mode. It needs to pass "-" to -i
option to read from stdin in the live mode. Actually there's a logic
to pass the option in the perf script code, but the script was written
with "-- $@" which prevented the option to go to the perf script. So
the previous commit added the hard-coded "-i -" to the report command.
But it's a problem for the offline mode which expects input from a file
and now it's stuck on reading from stdin. Let's remove the "-i - --"
part and let it pass the options properly to perf script.

The struct dump_regs contains 512 bytes of cache_regs, meaning the two
values in perf_sample contribute 1088 bytes of its total 1384 bytes
size. Initializing this much memory has a cost reported by Tavian
Barnes <tavianator@tavianator.com> as about 2.5% when running `perf

Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> replied that the zero
initialization was necessary and couldn't simply be removed.
This patch aims to strike a middle ground of still zeroing the
perf_sample, but removing 79% of its size by make user_regs and
intr_regs optional pointers to zalloc-ed memory. To support the
allocation accessors are created for user_regs and intr_regs. To
support correct cleanup perf_sample__init and perf_sample__exit

The --summary-mode option will select how to show the syscall summary at
the end. By default, it'll show the summary for each thread and it's
the same as if --summary-mode=thread is passed.
The other option is to show total summary, which is --summary-mode=total.
I'd like to have this instead of a separate option like --total-summary
because we may want to add a new summary mode (by cgroup) later.

It was using a RBtree-based int-list as a hash and a custom resort
logic for that. As we have hashmap, let's convert to it and add a

should be faster and more light-weighted. It's also to prepare

$ perf stat -M tma_frontend_bound
Cannot resolve IDs for tma_frontend_bound:
cpu_atom@TOPDOWN_FE_BOUND.ALL@ / (8 * cpu_atom@CPU_CLK_UNHALTED.CORE@)
In the find_tool_events(), the tool_pmu__event_to_str() is used to
compare the tool_events. It only checks the event name, no PMU or arch.
So the tool_events[TOOL_PMU__EVENT_SLOTS] is set to true, because the
p-core Topdown metrics has "slots" event.
The tool_events is shared. So when parsing the e-core metrics, the
"slots" is automatically added.
The "slots" event as a tool event should only be available on arm64. It
has a different meaning on X86. The tool_pmu__skip_event() intends
handle the case. Apply it for tool_pmu__event_to_str() as well.
There is a lack of sanity check in the expr__get_id(). Add the check.

The existing logic would disable uniquification on an evlist or enable
it per evsel, this is unfortunate as uniquification is most needed
when events have the same name and so the whole evlist must be
considered. Change the initial disable uniquify on an evlist
processing to also set a needs_uniquify flag, for cases like the
matching event names. This must be done as an initial pass as
uniquification of an event name will change the behavior of the
check. Keep the per counter uniquification but now only uniquify event
names when the needs_uniquify flag is set.
Before this change a hwmon like temp1 wouldn't be uniquified and
afterwards it will (ie the PMU is added to the temp1 event's name).

Counter merging was added in commit 942c559339 ("perf stat: Add
perf_stat_merge_counters()"), however, it merges events with the same
name on different PMUs regardless of whether the different PMUs are
actually of the same type (ie they differ only in the suffix on the
PMU). For hwmon events there may be a temp1 event on every PMU, but
the PMU names are all unique and don't differ just by a suffix. The
merging is over eager and will merge all the hwmon counters together
meaning an aggregated and very large temp1 value is shown. The same
would be true for say cache events and memory controller events where
the PMUs differ but the event names are the same.
Fix the problem by correctly saying two PMUs alias when they differ
only by suffix.
Note, there is an overlap with evsel's merged_stat with aggregation
and the evsel's metric_leader where aggregation happens for metrics.

Rather than scanning core or all PMUs, allow pmu_read_sysfs to read
some combination of core, other, hwmon and tool PMUs. The PMUs that
should be read and are already read are held as bitmaps. It is known
that a "hwmon_" prefix is necessary for a hwmon PMU's name, similarly
with "tool", so only scan those PMUs in situations the PMU name or the
PMU's type number make sense to.
The number of openat system calls reduces from 276 to 98 for a hwmon
event. The number of openats for regular perf events isn't changed.

evsel__is_hybrid returns true if there are multiple core PMUs and the

where the attr::config is set to value 292470092988416 or 0x10a0000000000
in line 625 of file ./util/hwmon_pmu.c:
attr->config = key.type_and_num;
However member key::type_and_num is defined as union and bit field:
union hwmon_pmu_event_key {
long type_and_num;
struct {
int num :16;
enum hwmon_type type :8;
};
};
s390 is big endian and Intel is little endian architecture.
The events for the hwmon dummy pmu have num = 1 or num = 2 and
type is set to HWMON_TYPE_TEMP (which is 10).
On s390 this assignes member key::type_and_num the value of
0x10a0000000000 (which is 292470092988416) as shown in above
trace output.
Fix this and export the structure/union hwmon_pmu_event_key
so the test shares the same implementation as the event parsing
functions for union and bit fields. This should avoid
endianess issues on all platforms.
Output after:
# ./perf test -F 11
11.1: Basic parsing test : Ok
11.2: Parsing without PMU name : Ok
11.3: Parsing with PMU name : Ok

On s390 the event instructions can not be used for recording.
This event is only supported by perf stat.
Change the event from instructions to cycles in subtest
test_leader_sampling.

Currently, running "perf script flamegraph -a -F 99 sleep 1" should
produce flamegraph.html containing the flamegraph. Howevever, it gives a
segmentation fault.
This is caused because the flamegraph.py script is
supposed to take as input the output of "perf record", which should be
in stdin. This would require passing "-i -" to flamegraph.py. However,
the "flamegraph-report" script causes "perf script" command to take the
"-i -" option instead of flamegraph.py, which causes no problem for
"perf script", but causes a seg fault since flamegraph.py has no input
file. To fix this I added the "-i -" option directly to the
flamegraph-report script to ensure flamegraph.py gets input from stdin.

When not running as root and with higher perf event paranoia values
the perf record forked by TPEBS can fail to attach to the process. Skip
the test in these scenarios.
Intel TPEBS test skips on non-Intel CPUs. On Intel CPUs under a
hypervisor the cache-misses event may not be present or precise. Skip
the test under this condition.
Refactor the output code to be placed in a file so that on a signal
the file can be dumped. This was necessary to catch the issue above as
the failing perf record command would fail without output.

This is also used in util/comm.c now, so instead of selectively doing
the feature test, always do it. If it's ever used anywhere else it's
less likely to cause another build failure.
This doesn't remove the need to manually include libc_compat.h, and
missing that will still cause an error for glibc < 2.26. There isn't a
way to fix that without poisoning reallocarray like libbpf did, but that
has other downsides like making memory debugging tools less useful. So
for Perf keep it like this and we'll have to fix up any missed includes.
Fixes the following build error:
util/comm.c:152:31: error: implicit declaration of function
'reallocarray' [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
152 | tmp = reallocarray(comm_strs->strs,
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~
