We've been quite busy with fixes since the merge window, though not in
any particularly exciting ways - the standout thing is the fix for _SX
controls which were broken by a change to how we do clamping, otherwise
it's all fairly run of the mill fixes and quirks.

Merge tag 'perf-tools-for-v6.19-2025-12-06' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/perf/perf-tools

Pull perf tools updates from Namhyung Kim:
"Perf event/metric description:

Unify all event and metric descriptions in JSON format. Now event
parsing and handling is greatly simplified by that.

From users point of view, perf list will provide richer information
about hardware events like the following.

$ perf list hw

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

legacy hardware:
branch-instructions
[Retired branch instructions [This event is an alias of branches]. Unit: cpu]
branch-misses
[Mispredicted branch instructions. Unit: cpu]
branches
[Retired branch instructions [This event is an alias of branch-instructions]. Unit: cpu]
bus-cycles
[Bus cycles,which can be different from total cycles. Unit: cpu]
cache-misses
[Cache misses. Usually this indicates Last Level Cache misses; this is intended to be used in conjunction with the
PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_REFERENCES event to calculate cache miss rates. Unit: cpu]
cache-references
[Cache accesses. Usually this indicates Last Level Cache accesses but this may vary depending on your CPU. This may include
prefetches and coherency messages; again this depends on the design of your CPU. Unit: cpu]
cpu-cycles
[Total cycles. Be wary of what happens during CPU frequency scaling [This event is an alias of cycles]. Unit: cpu]
cycles
[Total cycles. Be wary of what happens during CPU frequency scaling [This event is an alias of cpu-cycles]. Unit: cpu]
instructions
[Retired instructions. Be careful,these can be affected by various issues,most notably hardware interrupt counts. Unit: cpu]
ref-cycles
[Total cycles; not affected by CPU frequency scaling. Unit: cpu]

But most notable changes would be in the perf stat. On the right side,
the default metrics are better named and aligned. :)

$ perf stat -- perf test -w noploop

Performance counter stats for 'perf test -w noploop':

Deferred unwinding support:

With the kernel support (commit c69993ecdd4d: "perf: Support deferred
user unwind"), perf can use deferred callchains for userspace stack
trace with frame pointers like below:

$ perf record --call-graph fp,defer ...

This will be transparent to users when it comes to other commands like
perf report and perf script. They will merge the deferred callchains
to the previous samples as if they were collected together.

ARM SPE updates

- Extensive enhancements to support various kinds of memory
operations including GCS, MTE allocation tags, memcpy/memset,
register access, and SIMD operations.

- Add inverted data source filter (inv_data_src_filter) support to
exclude certain data sources.

- Improve documentation.

Vendor event updates:

- Intel: Updated event files for Sierra Forest, Panther Lake, Meteor
Lake, Lunar Lake, Granite Rapids, and others.

- Arm64: Added metrics for i.MX94 DDR PMU and Cortex-A720AE
definitions.

- RISC-V: Added JSON support for T-HEAD C920V2.

Misc:

- Improve pointer tracking in data type profiling. It'd give better
output when the variable is using container_of() to convert type.

- Annotation support for perf c2c report in TUI. Press 'a' key to
enter annotation view from cacheline browser window. This will show
which instruction is causing the cacheline contention.

- Lots of fixes and test coverage improvements!"

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]
context-switches
[Number of context switches [This event is an alias of cs]. Unit: software]
cpu-clock
[Per-CPU high-resolution timer based event. Unit: software]
cpu-migrations
[Number of times a process has migrated to a new CPU [This event is an alias of migrations]. 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]
migrations
[Number of times a process has migrated to a new CPU [This event is an alias of cpu-migrations]. Unit: software]
minor-faults
[Number of minor page faults. Minor faults don't 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
# DURATION | COUNT | GRAPH |

# statistics (in usec)
total time: 194915

* 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"

perf test: Change all remaining #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bash

There are 43 instances of posix shell tests and 35 instances of bash. To
give us a single consistent language for testing in, replace
all #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bash. Common sources that are included in both
different shells will now work as expected. And we no longer have to fix
up bashisms that appear to work when someone's system has sh symlinked
to bash, but don't work on other systems that have both shells
installed.

Although we could have chosen sh, it's not backwards compatible so it
wouldn't be possible to bulk convert without re-writing the existing
bash tests.

Choosing bash also gives us some nicer features including 'local'
variable definitions and regexes in if statements that are already
widely used in the tests.

It's not expected that there are any users with only sh available due to
the large number of bash tests that exist.
