Merge tag 'perf-tools-for-v6.17-2025-08-01' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/perf/perf-tools

Pull perf tools updates from Namhyung Kim:
"Build-ID processing goodies:

Build-IDs are content based hashes to link regions of memory to ELF
files in post processing. They have been available in distros for
quite a while:

$ file /bin/bash
/bin/bash: ELF 64-bit LSB pie executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV),
dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2,
BuildID[sha1]=707a1c670cd72f8e55ffedfbe94ea98901b7ce3a,
for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, stripped

It is possible to ask the kernel to get it from mmap executable
backing storage at time they are being put in place and send it as
metadata at that moment to have in perf.data.

Prefer that across the board to speed up 'record' time - it post
processes the samples to find binaries touched by any samples and
to save them with build-ID. It can skip reading build-ID in
userspace if it comes from the kernel.

perf record:

* Make --buildid-mmap default. The kernel can generate MMAP2 events
with a build-ID from ELF header. Use that by default instead of using
inode and device ID to identify binaries. It also can be disabled
with --no-buildid-mmap.

* Use BPF for -u/--uid option to sample processes belong to a user.
BPF can track user processes more accurately and the existing logic
often fails to get the list of processes due to race with reading the
/proc filesystem.

* Generate PERF_RECORD_BPF_METADATA when it profiles BPF programs and
they have variables starting with "bpf_metadata_". This will help to
identify BPF objects used in the profile. This has been supported in
bpftool for some time and allows the recording of metadata such as
commit hashes, versions, etc, that now gets recorded in perf.data as
well.

* Collect list of DSOs touched in the sample callchains as well as in
the sample itself. This would increase the processing time at the end
of record, but can improve the data quality.

perf stat:

* Add a new 'drm' pseudo-PMU support like in 'hwmon'. It can collect
DRM usage stats using fdinfo in /proc.

On my Intel laptop, it shows like below:

$ perf list drm
...

drm:
drm-active-stolen-system0
[Total memory active in one or more engines. Unit: drm_i915]
drm-active-system0

perf list

* Add description for software events. The description is in JSON format
and the event parser now can handle the software events like others
(for example, it's case-insensitive and subject to wildcard matching).

$ perf list software

List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e or -M):

software:
alignment-faults
[Number of kernel handled memory alignment faults. Unit: software]
bpf-output
[An event used by BPF programs to write to the perf ring buffer. Unit: software]
cgroup-switches
[Number of context switches to a task in a different cgroup. Unit: software]

cs
[Number of context switches [This event is an alias of context-switches]. Unit: software]
dummy
[A placeholder event that doesn't count anything. Unit: software]
emulation-faults
[Number of kernel handled unimplemented instruction faults handled through emulation. Unit: software]
faults
[Number of page faults [This event is an alias of page-faults]. Unit: software]
major-faults
[Number of major page faults. Major faults require I/O to handle. Unit: software]

page-faults
[Number of page faults [This event is an alias of faults]. Unit: software]
task-clock
[Per-task high-resolution timer based event. Unit: software]

perf ftrace:

* Add -e/--events option to perf ftrace latency to measure latency
between the two events instead of a function.

$ sudo perf ftrace latency -ab -e i915_request_wait_begin,i915_request_wait_end --hide-empty -- sleep 1

# statistics (in usec)
total time: 194915
avg time: 6961
max time: 12855
min time: 373

* Add new function graph tracer options (--graph-opts) to display more
info like arguments and return value. They will be passed to the
kernel ftrace directly.

$ sudo perf ftrace -G vfs_write --graph-opts retval,retaddr
# tracer: function_graph

...

Misc:

* Add perf archive --exclude-buildids <FILE> option to skip some binaries.
The format of the FILE should be same as an output of perf buildid-list.

* Get rid of dependency of libcrypto. It was just to get SHA-1 hash so
implement it directly like in the kernel. A side effect is that it
needs -fno-strict-aliasing compiler option (again, like in the kernel).

* Convert all shell script tests to use bash"

Build:

- Make libunwind opt-in (LIBUNWIND=1) rather than opt-out.

The perf tools are generally built with libelf and libdw which has
unwinder functionality. The libunwind support predates it and no
need to have duplicate unwinders by default.

- Rename NO_DWARF=1 build option to NO_LIBDW=1 in order to clarify
it's using libdw for handling DWARF information.

Internals:

- Do not set exclude_guest bit in the perf_event_attr by default.

This was causing a trouble in AMD IBS PMU as it doesn't support the
bit. The bit will be set when it's needed later by the fallback
logic. Also update the missing feature detection logic to make sure
not clear supported bits unnecessarily.

- Run perf test in parallel by default and mark flaky tests
"exclusive" to run them serially at the end. Some test numbers are
changed but the test can complete in less than half the time.

JSON vendor events:

- Add AMD Zen 5 events and metrics.

- Add i.MX91 and i.MX95 DDR metrics

- Fix HiSilicon HIP08 Topdown metric name.

- Support compat events on PowerPC"

tools/perf: Correctly calculate sample period for inherited SAMPLE_READ values

Sample period calculation in deliver_sample_value is updated to
calculate the per-thread period delta for events that are inherit +
PERF_SAMPLE_READ. When the sampling event has this configuration, the
read_format.id is used with the tid from the sample to lookup the
storage of the previously accumulated counter total before calculating
the delta. All existing valid configurations where read_format.value
represents some global value continue to use just the read_format.id to
locate the storage of the previously accumulated total.

perf_sample_id is modified to support tracking per-thread
values, along with the existing global per-id values. In the
per-thread case, values are stored in a hash by tid within the
perf_sample_id, and are dynamically allocated as the number is not known
ahead of time.

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)

- 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

- Change default (no event/metric) formatting for default metrics so
that events are hidden and the metric and group appear.

- Allow --cputype option to have any PMU name (not just hybrid).

- Fix output value not to added when it runs multiple times with -r
option.

perf list:

- 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"
