Merge tag 'perf-tools-for-v6.6-1-2023-09-05' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/perf/perf-tools
Pull perf tools updates from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo: "perf tools maintainership:
- Add git information for perf-tools and perf-tools-next trees and branches to the MAINTAINERS file. That is where development now takes place and myself and Namhyung Kim have write access, more people to come as we emulate other maintainer groups.
perf record:
- Record kernel data maps when 'perf record --data' is used, so that global variables can be resolved and used in tools that do data profiling.
perf trace:
- Remove the old, experimental support for BPF events in which a .c file was passed as an event: "perf trace -e hello.c" to then get compiled and loaded.
The only known usage for that, that shipped with the kernel as an example for such events, augmented the raw_syscalls tracepoints and was converted to a libbpf skeleton, reusing all the user space components and the BPF code connected to the syscalls.
In the end just the way to glue the BPF part and the user space type beautifiers changed, now being performed by libbpf skeletons.
The next step is to use BTF to do pretty printing of all syscall types, as discussed with Alan Maguire and others.
Now, on a perf built with BUILD_BPF_SKEL=1 we get most if not all path/filenames/strings, some of the networking data structures, perf_event_attr, etc, i.e. systemwide tracing of nanosleep calls and perf_event_open syscalls while 'perf stat' runs 'sleep' for 5 seconds:

perf annotate:
- Building with binutils' libopcode now is opt-in (BUILD_NONDISTRO=1) for licensing reasons, and we missed a build test on tools/perf/tests makefile.
Since we now default to NDEBUG=1, we ended up segfaulting when building with BUILD_NONDISTRO=1 because a needed initialization routine was being "error checked" via an assert.
Fix it by explicitly checking the result and aborting instead if it fails.
We better back propagate the error, but at least 'perf annotate' on samples collected for a BPF program is back working when perf is built with BUILD_NONDISTRO=1.
perf report/top:
- Add back TUI hierarchy mode header, that is seen when using 'perf report/top --hierarchy'.
- Fix the number of entries for 'e' key in the TUI that was preventing navigation of lines when expanding an entry.
perf report/script:
- Support cross platform register handling, allowing a perf.data file collected on one architecture to have registers sampled correctly displayed when analysis tools such as 'perf report' and 'perf script' are used on a different architecture.
- Fix handling of event attributes in pipe mode, i.e. when one uses:
perf record -o - | perf report -i -
When no perf.data files are used.
- Handle files generated via pipe mode with a version of perf and then read also via pipe mode with a different version of perf, where the event attr record may have changed, use the record size field to properly support this version mismatch.
perf probe:
- Accessing global variables from uprobes isn't supported, make the error message state that instead of stating that some minimal kernel version is needed to have that feature. This seems just a tool limitation, the kernel probably has all that is needed.
perf tests:
- Fix a reference count related leak in the dlfilter v0 API where the result of a thread__find_symbol_fb() is not matched with an addr_location__exit() to drop the reference counts of the resolved components (machine, thread, map, symbol, etc). Add a dlfilter test to make sure that doesn't regresses.
- Lots of fixes for the 'perf test' written in shell script related to problems found with the shellcheck utility.
- Fixes for 'perf test' shell scripts testing features enabled when perf is built with BUILD_BPF_SKEL=1, such as 'perf stat' bpf counters.
- Add perf record sample filtering test, things like the following example, that gets implemented as a BPF filter attached to the event:
# perf record -e task-clock -c 10000 --filter 'ip < 0xffffffff00000000'
- Improve the way the task_analyzer test checks if libtraceevent is linked, using 'perf version --build-options' instead of the more expensinve 'perf record -e "sched:sched_switch"'.
- Add support for riscv in the mmap-basic test. (This went as well via the RiscV tree, same contents).
libperf:
- Implement riscv mmap support (This went as well via the RiscV tree, same contents).
perf script:
- New tool that converts perf.data files to the firefox profiler format so that one can use the visualizer at https://profiler.firefox.com/. Done by Anup Sharma as part of this year's Google Summer of Code.
One can generate the output and upload it to the web interface but Anup also automated everything:
perf script gecko -F 99 -a sleep 60
- Support syscall name parsing on arm64.
- Print "cgroup" field on the same line as "comm".
perf bench:
- Add new 'uprobe' benchmark to measure the overhead of uprobes with/without BPF programs attached to it.
- breakpoints are not available on power9, skip that test.
perf stat:
- Add #num_cpus_online literal to be used in 'perf stat' metrics, and add this extra 'perf test' check that exemplifies its purpose:
TEST_ASSERT_VAL("#num_cpus_online", expr__parse(&num_cpus_online, ctx, "#num_cpus_online") == 0); TEST_ASSERT_VAL("#num_cpus", expr__parse(&num_cpus, ctx, "#num_cpus") == 0); TEST_ASSERT_VAL("#num_cpus >= #num_cpus_online", num_cpus >= num_cpus_online);
Miscellaneous:
- Improve tool startup time by lazily reading PMU, JSON, sysfs data.
- Improve error reporting in the parsing of events, passing YYLTYPE to error routines, so that the output can show were the parsing error was found.
- Add 'perf test' entries to check the parsing of events improvements.
- Fix various leak for things detected by -fsanitize=address, mostly things that would be freed at tool exit, including:
- Free evsel->filter on the destructor.
- Allow tools to register a thread->priv destructor and use it in 'perf trace'.
- Free evsel->priv in 'perf trace'.
- Free string returned by synthesize_perf_probe_point() when the caller fails to do all it needs.
- Adjust various compiler options to not consider errors some warnings when building with broken headers found in things like python, flex, bison, as we otherwise build with -Werror. Some for gcc, some for clang, some for some specific version of those, some for some specific version of flex or bison, or some specific combination of these components, bah.
- Allow customization of clang options for BPF target, this helps building on gentoo where there are other oddities where BPF targets gets passed some compiler options intended for the native build, so building with WERROR=0 helps while these oddities are fixed.
- Dont pass ERR_PTR() values to perf_session__delete() in 'perf top' and 'perf lock', fixing some segfaults when handling some odd failures.
- Add LTO build option.
- Fix format of unordered lists in the perf docs (tools/perf/Documentation)
- Overhaul the bison files, using constructs such as YYNOMEM.
- Remove unused tokens from the bison .y files.
- Add more comments to various structs.
- A few LoongArch enablement patches.
Vendor events (JSON):
- Add JSON metrics for Yitian 710 DDR (aarch64). Things like:
EventName, BriefDescription visible_window_limit_reached_rd, "At least one entry in read queue reaches the visible window limit.", visible_window_limit_reached_wr, "At least one entry in write queue reaches the visible window limit.", op_is_dqsosc_mpc , "A DQS Oscillator MPC command to DRAM.", op_is_dqsosc_mrr , "A DQS Oscillator MRR command to DRAM.", op_is_tcr_mrr , "A Temperature Compensated Refresh(TCR) MRR command to DRAM.",
- Add AmpereOne metrics (aarch64).
- Update N2 and V2 metrics (aarch64) and events using Arm telemetry repo.
- Update scale units and descriptions of common topdown metrics on aarch64. Things like: - "MetricExpr": "stall_slot_frontend / (#slots * cpu_cycles)", - "BriefDescription": "Frontend bound L1 topdown metric", + "MetricExpr": "100 * (stall_slot_frontend / (#slots * cpu_cycles))", + "BriefDescription": "This metric is the percentage of total slots that were stalled due to resource constraints in the frontend of the processor.",
- Update events for intel: meteorlake to 1.04, sapphirerapids to 1.15, Icelake+ metric constraints.
- Update files for the power10 platform"

Merge tag 'perf-tools-for-v6.5-1-2023-06-28' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/perf/perf-tools-next
Pull perf tools updates from Namhyung Kim: "Internal cleanup:
- Refactor PMU data management to handle hybrid systems in a generic way.
Do more work in the lexer so that legacy event types parse more easily. A side-effect of this is that if a PMU is specified, scanning sysfs is avoided improving start-up time.
- Fix hybrid metrics, for example, the TopdownL1 works for both performance and efficiency cores on Intel machines. To support this, sort and regroup events after parsing.
- Add reference count checking for the 'thread' data structure.
- Lots of fixes for memory leaks in various places thanks to the ASAN and Ian's refcount checker.
- Reduce the binary size by replacing static variables with local or dynamically allocated memory.
- Introduce shared_mutex for annotate data to reduce memory footprint.
- Make filesystem access library functions more thread safe.
Test:
- Organize cpu_map tests into a single suite.
- Add metric value validation test to check if the values are within correct value ranges.
- Add perf stat stdio output test to check if event and metric names match.
- Add perf data converter JSON output test.
- Fix a lot of issues reported by shellcheck(1). This is a preparation to enable shellcheck by default.
- Make the large x86 new instructions test optional at build time using EXTRA_TESTS=1.
- Add a test for libpfm4 events.
perf script:
- Add 'dsoff' outpuf field to display offset from the DSO.
$ perf script -F comm,pid,event,ip,dsoff ls 2695501 cycles: 152cc73ef4b5 (/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.31.so+0x1c4b5) ls 2695501 cycles: ffffffff99045b3e ([kernel.kallsyms]) ls 2695501 cycles: ffffffff9968e107 ([kernel.kallsyms]) ls 2695501 cycles: ffffffffc1f54afb ([kernel.kallsyms]) ls 2695501 cycles: ffffffff9968382f ([kernel.kallsyms]) ls 2695501 cycles: ffffffff99e00094 ([kernel.kallsyms]) ls 2695501 cycles: 152cc718a8d0 (/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libselinux.so.1+0x68d0) ls 2695501 cycles: ffffffff992a6db0 ([kernel.kallsyms])
- Adjust width for large PID/TID values.
perf report:
- Robustify reading addr2line output for srcline by checking sentinel output before the actual data and by using timeout of 1 second.
- Allow config terms (like 'name=ABC') with breakpoint events.
$ perf record -e mem:0x55feb98dd169:x/name=breakpoint/ -p 19646 -- sleep 1
perf annotate:
- Handle x86 instruction suffix like 'l' in 'movl' generally.
- Parse instruction operands properly even with a whitespace. This is needed for llvm-objdump output.
- Support RISC-V binutils lookup using the triplet prefixes.
- Add '<' and '>' key to navigate to prev/next symbols in TUI.
- Fix instruction association and parsing for LoongArch.
perf stat:
- Add --per-cache aggregation option, optionally specify a cache level like `--per-cache=L2`.
$ sudo perf stat --per-cache -a -e ls_dmnd_fills_from_sys.ext_cache_remote --\ taskset -c 0-15,64-79,128-143,192-207\ perf bench sched messaging -p -t -l 100000 -g 8

- Show metricgroup description from JSON file called metricgroups.json.
- Allow 'pfm' argument to list only libpfm4 events and check each event is supported before showing it.
JSON vendor events:
- Avoid event grouping using "NO_GROUP_EVENTS" constraints. The topdown events are correctly grouped even if no group exists.
- Add "Default" metric group to print it in the default output. And use "DefaultMetricgroupName" to indicate the real metric group name.
- Add AmpereOne core PMU events.
Misc:
- Define man page date correctly.
- Track exception level properly on ARM CoreSight ETM.
- Allow anonymous struct, union or enum when retrieving type names from DWARF.
- Fix incorrect filename when calling `perf inject --jit`.
- Handle PLT size correctly on LoongArch"

perf srcline: Optimize comparision against SRCLINE_UNKNOWN
This is a string constant that gets returned and then strcmp() around, we can instead just do a pointer comparision.
That requires a new global variable to comply with these warnings from some versions of clang and gcc:
41 68.95 fedora:rawhide : FAIL clang version 16.0.4 (Fedora 16.0.4-1.fc39) result of comparison against a string literal is unspecified (use an explicit string comparison function instead) [-Werror,-Wstring-compare] if (start_line != SRCLINE_UNKNOWN && ^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 41
Ack comments:
Agreed, the strcmps make me nervous as they won't distinguish heap from a global meaning we could end up with things like pointers to freed memory. The comparison with the global is always going to be same imo.

perf addr_location: Add init/exit/copy functions
struct addr_location holds references to multiple reference counted objects. Add init/exit functions to make maintenance of those more consistent with the rest of the code and to try to avoid leaks. Modification of thread reference counts isn't included in this change.

Merge tag 'perf-tools-for-v6.4-3-2023-05-06' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux
Pull perf tool updates from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo: "Third version of perf tool updates, with the build problems with with using a 'vmlinux.h' generated from the main build fixed, and the bpf skeleton build disabled by default.
Build:
- Require libtraceevent to build, one can disable it using NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1.
It is required for tools like 'perf sched', 'perf kvm', 'perf trace', etc.
libtraceevent is available in most distros so installing 'libtraceevent-devel' should be a one-time event to continue building perf as usual.
Using NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1 produces tooling that is functional and sufficient for lots of users not interested in those libtraceevent dependent features.
- Allow Python support in 'perf script' when libtraceevent isn't linked, as not all features requires it, for instance Intel PT does not use tracepoints.
- Error if the python interpreter needed for jevents to work isn't available and NO_JEVENTS=1 isn't set, preventing a build without support for JSON vendor events, which is a rare but possible condition. The two check error messages:
$(error ERROR: No python interpreter needed for jevents generation. Install python or build with NO_JEVENTS=1.) $(error ERROR: Python interpreter needed for jevents generation too old (older than 3.6). Install a newer python or build with NO_JEVENTS=1.)
- Make libbpf 1.0 the minimum required when building with out of tree, distro provided libbpf.
- Use libsdtc++'s and LLVM's libcxx's __cxa_demangle, a portable C++ demangler, add 'perf test' entry for it.
- Make binutils libraries opt in, as distros disable building with it due to licensing, they were used for C++ demangling, for instance.
- Switch libpfm4 to opt-out rather than opt-in, if libpfm-devel (or equivalent) isn't installed, we'll just have a build warning:
Makefile.config:1144: libpfm4 not found, disables libpfm4 support. Please install libpfm4-dev
- Add a feature test for scandirat(), that is not implemented so far in musl and uclibc, disabling features that need it, such as scanning for tracepoints in /sys/kernel/tracing/events.
perf BPF filters:
- New feature where BPF can be used to filter samples, for instance:
$ sudo ./perf record -e cycles --filter 'period > 1000' true $ sudo ./perf script perf-exec 2273949 546850.708501: 5029 cycles: ffffffff826f9e25 finish_wait+0x5 ([kernel.kallsyms]) perf-exec 2273949 546850.708508: 32409 cycles: ffffffff826f9e25 finish_wait+0x5 ([kernel.kallsyms]) perf-exec 2273949 546850.708526: 143369 cycles: ffffffff82b4cdbf xas_start+0x5f ([kernel.kallsyms]) perf-exec 2273949 546850.708600: 372650 cycles: ffffffff8286b8f7 __pagevec_lru_add+0x117 ([kernel.kallsyms]) perf-exec 2273949 546850.708791: 482953 cycles: ffffffff829190de __mod_memcg_lruvec_state+0x4e ([kernel.kallsyms]) true 2273949 546850.709036: 501985 cycles: ffffffff828add7c tlb_gather_mmu+0x4c ([kernel.kallsyms]) true 2273949 546850.709292: 503065 cycles: 7f2446d97c03 _dl_map_object_deps+0x973 (/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2)
- In addition to 'period' (PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD), the other PERF_SAMPLE_ can be used for filtering, and also some other sample accessible values, from tools/perf/Documentation/perf-record.txt:
Essentially the BPF filter expression is:
<term> <operator> <value> (("," | "||") <term> <operator> <value>)*
The <term> can be one of: ip, id, tid, pid, cpu, time, addr, period, txn, weight, phys_addr, code_pgsz, data_pgsz, weight1, weight2, weight3, ins_lat, retire_lat, p_stage_cyc, mem_op, mem_lvl, mem_snoop, mem_remote, mem_lock, mem_dtlb, mem_blk, mem_hops
The <operator> can be one of: ==, !=, >, >=, <, <=, &
The <value> can be one of: <number> (for any term) na, load, store, pfetch, exec (for mem_op) l1, l2, l3, l4, cxl, io, any_cache, lfb, ram, pmem (for mem_lvl) na, none, hit, miss, hitm, fwd, peer (for mem_snoop) remote (for mem_remote) na, locked (for mem_locked) na, l1_hit, l1_miss, l2_hit, l2_miss, any_hit, any_miss, walk, fault (for mem_dtlb) na, by_data, by_addr (for mem_blk) hops0, hops1, hops2, hops3 (for mem_hops)
perf lock contention:
- Show lock type with address.
- Track and show mmap_lock, siglock and per-cpu rq_lock with address. This is done for mmap_lock by following the current->mm pointer:
$ sudo ./perf lock con -abl -- sleep 10 contended total wait max wait avg wait address symbol ... 16344 312.30 ms 2.22 ms 19.11 us ffff8cc702595640 17686 310.08 ms 1.49 ms 17.53 us ffff8cc7025952c0 3 84.14 ms 45.79 ms 28.05 ms ffff8cc78114c478 mmap_lock 3557 76.80 ms 68.75 us 21.59 us ffff8cc77ca3af58 1 68.27 ms 68.27 ms 68.27 ms ffff8cda745dfd70 9 54.53 ms 7.96 ms 6.06 ms ffff8cc7642a48b8 mmap_lock 14629 44.01 ms 60.00 us 3.01 us ffff8cc7625f9ca0 3481 42.63 ms 140.71 us 12.24 us ffffffff937906ac vmap_area_lock 16194 38.73 ms 42.15 us 2.39 us ffff8cd397cbc560 11 38.44 ms 10.39 ms 3.49 ms ffff8ccd6d12fbb8 mmap_lock 1 5.43 ms 5.43 ms 5.43 ms ffff8cd70018f0d8 1674 5.38 ms 422.93 us 3.21 us ffffffff92e06080 tasklist_lock 581 4.51 ms 130.68 us 7.75 us ffff8cc9b1259058 5 3.52 ms 1.27 ms 703.23 us ffff8cc754510070 112 3.47 ms 56.47 us 31.02 us ffff8ccee38b3120 381 3.31 ms 73.44 us 8.69 us ffffffff93790690 purge_vmap_area_lock 255 3.19 ms 36.35 us 12.49 us ffff8d053ce30c80
- Update default map size to 16384.
- Allocate single letter option -M for --map-nr-entries, as it is proving being frequently used.
- Fix struct rq lock access for older kernels with BPF's CO-RE (Compile once, run everywhere).
- Fix problems found with MSAn.
perf report/top:
- Add inline information when using --call-graph=fp or lbr, as was already done to the --call-graph=dwarf callchain mode.
- Improve the 'srcfile' sort key performance by really using an optimization introduced in 6.2 for the 'srcline' sort key that avoids calling addr2line for comparision with each sample.
perf sched:
- Make 'perf sched latency/map/replay' to use "sched:sched_waking" instead of "sched:sched_waking", consistent with 'perf record' since d566a9c2d482 ("perf sched: Prefer sched_waking event when it exists").
perf ftrace:
- Make system wide the default target for latency subcommand, run the following command then generate some network traffic and press control+C:
# perf ftrace latency -T __kfree_skb ^C DURATION | COUNT | GRAPH | 0 - 1 us | 27 | ############# | 1 - 2 us | 22 | ########### | 2 - 4 us | 8 | #### | 4 - 8 us | 5 | ## | 8 - 16 us | 24 | ############ | 16 - 32 us | 2 | # | 32 - 64 us | 1 | | 64 - 128 us | 0 | | 128 - 256 us | 0 | | 256 - 512 us | 0 | | 512 - 1024 us | 0 | | 1 - 2 ms | 0 | | 2 - 4 ms | 0 | | 4 - 8 ms | 0 | | 8 - 16 ms | 0 | | 16 - 32 ms | 0 | | 32 - 64 ms | 0 | | 64 - 128 ms | 0 | | 128 - 256 ms | 0 | | 256 - 512 ms | 0 | | 512 - 1024 ms | 0 | | 1 - ... s | 0 | | #
perf top:
- Add --branch-history (LBR: Last Branch Record) option, just like already available for 'perf record'.
- Fix segfault in thread__comm_len() where thread->comm was being used outside thread->comm_lock.
perf annotate:
- Allow configuring objdump and addr2line in ~/.perfconfig., so that you can use alternative binaries, such as llvm's.
perf kvm:
- Add TUI mode for 'perf kvm stat report'.
Reference counting:
- Add reference count checking infrastructure to check for use after free, done to the 'cpumap', 'namespaces', 'maps' and 'map' structs, more to come.
To build with it use -DREFCNT_CHECKING=1 in the make command line to build tools/perf. Documented at:
https://perf.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Reference_Count_Checking
- The above caught, for instance, fix, present in this series:
- Fix maps use after put in 'perf test "Share thread maps"':
'maps' is copied from leader, but the leader is put on line 79 and then 'maps' is used to read the reference count below - so a use after put, with the put of maps happening within thread__put.
Fixed by reversing the order of puts so that the leader is put last.
- Also several fixes were made to places where reference counts were not being held.
- Make this one of the tests in 'make -C tools/perf build-test' to regularly build test it and to make sure no direct access to the reference counted structs are made, doing that via accessors to check the validity of the struct pointer.
ARM64:
- Fix 'perf report' segfault when filtering coresight traces by sparse lists of CPUs.
- Add support for 'simd' as a sort field for 'perf report', to show ARM's NEON SIMD's predicate flags: "partial" and "empty".
arm64 vendor events:
- Add N1 metrics.
Intel vendor events:
- Add graniterapids, grandridge and sierraforrest events.
- Refresh events for: alderlake, aldernaken, broadwell, broadwellde, broadwellx, cascadelakx, haswell, haswellx, icelake, icelakex, jaketown, meteorlake, knightslanding, sandybridge, sapphirerapids, silvermont, skylake, tigerlake and westmereep-dp
- Refresh metrics for alderlake-n, broadwell, broadwellde, broadwellx, haswell, haswellx, icelakex, ivybridge, ivytown and skylakex.
perf stat:
- Implement --topdown using JSON metrics.
- Add TopdownL1 JSON metric as a default if present, but disable it for now for some Intel hybrid architectures, a series of patches addressing this is being reviewed and will be submitted for v6.5.
- Use metrics for --smi-cost.
- Update topdown documentation.
Vendor events (JSON) infrastructure:
- Add support for computing and printing metric threshold values. For instance, here is one found in thesapphirerapids json file:
{ "BriefDescription": "Percentage of cycles spent in System Management Interrupts.", "MetricExpr": "((msr@aperf@ - cycles) / msr@aperf@ if msr@smi@ > 0 else 0)", "MetricGroup": "smi", "MetricName": "smi_cycles", "MetricThreshold": "smi_cycles > 0.1", "ScaleUnit": "100%" },
- Test parsing metric thresholds with the fake PMU in 'perf test pmu-events'.
- Support for printing metric thresholds in 'perf list'.
- Add --metric-no-threshold option to 'perf stat'.
- Add rand (reverse and) and has_pmem (optane memory) support to metrics.
- Sort list of input files to avoid depending on the order from readdir() helping in obtaining reproducible builds.
S/390:
- Add common metrics: - CPI (cycles per instruction), prbstate (ratio of instructions executed in problem state compared to total number of instructions), l1mp (Level one instruction and data cache misses per 100 instructions).
- Add cache metrics for z13, z14, z15 and z16.
- Add metric for TLB and cache.
ARM:

Miscellaneous:
- Fix use-after-free and unaligned bugs in the PLT handling routines.
- Use zfree() to reduce chances of use after free.
- Add missing 0x prefix for addresses printed in hexadecimal in 'perf probe'.
- Suppress massive unsupported target platform errors in the unwind code.
- Fix return incorrect build_id size in elf_read_build_id().
- Fix 'perf scripts intel-pt-events.py' IPC output for Python 2 .
- Add missing new parameter in kfree_skb tracepoint to the python scripts using it.
- Add 'perf bench syscall fork' benchmark.
- Add support for printing PERF_MEM_LVLNUM_UNC (Uncached access) in 'perf mem'.
- Fix wrong size expectation for perf test 'Setup struct perf_event_attr' caused by the patch adding perf_event_attr::config3.
- Fix some spelling mistakes"
