perf: Fix 0 count issue of cpu-clock

2025-11-20T09:42:12Z

Currently cpu-clock event always returns 0 count, e.g., perf stat -e cpu-clock -- sleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1': 0 cpu-clock # 0.000 CPUs utilized 1.002308394 seconds time elapsed The root cause is the commit 'bc4394e5e79c ("perf: Fix the throttle error of some clock events")' adds PERF_EF_UPDATE flag check before calling cpu_clock_event_update() to update the count, however the PERF_EF_UPDATE flag is never set when the cpu-clock event is stopped in counting mode (pmu->dev() -> cpu_clock_event_del() -> cpu_clock_event_stop()). This leads to the cpu-clock event count is never updated. To fix this issue, force to set PERF_EF_UPDATE flag for cpu-clock event just like what task-clock does.

perf/core: Fix system hang caused by cpu-clock usage

2025-11-03T10:04:19Z

cpu-clock usage by the async-profiler tool can trigger a system hang, which got bisected back to the following commit by Octavia Togami: 18dbcbfabfff ("perf: Fix the POLL_HUP delivery breakage") causes this issue The root cause of the hang is that cpu-clock is a special type of SW event which relies on hrtimers. The __perf_event_overflow() callback is invoked from the hrtimer handler for cpu-clock events, and __perf_event_overflow() tries to call cpu_clock_event_stop() to stop the event, which calls htimer_cancel() to cancel the hrtimer. But that's a recursion into the hrtimer code from a hrtimer handler, which (unsurprisingly) deadlocks. To fix this bug, use hrtimer_try_to_cancel() instead, and set the PERF_HES_STOPPED flag, which causes perf_swevent_hrtimer() to stop the event once it sees the PERF_HES_STOPPED flag.

perf/core: Fix MMAP2 event device with backing files

2025-10-14T08:38:10Z

Some file systems like FUSE-based ones or overlayfs may record the backing file in struct vm_area_struct vm_file, instead of the user file that the user mmapped. That causes perf to misreport the device major/minor numbers of the file system of the file, and the generation of the file, and potentially other inode details. There is an existing helper file_user_inode() for that situation. Use file_user_inode() instead of file_inode() to get the inode for MMAP2 events. Example: Setup: # cd /root # mkdir test ; cd test ; mkdir lower upper work merged # cp `which cat` lower # mount -t overlay overlay -olowerdir=lower,upperdir=upper,workdir=work merged # perf record -e cycles:u -- /root/test/merged/cat /proc/self/maps ... 55b2c91d0000-55b2c926b000 r-xp 00018000 00:1a 3419 /root/test/merged/cat ...

perf/core: Fix MMAP event path names with backing files

2025-10-14T08:38:09Z

Some file systems like FUSE-based ones or overlayfs may record the backing file in struct vm_area_struct vm_file, instead of the user file that the user mmapped. Since commit def3ae83da02f ("fs: store real path instead of fake path in backing file f_path"), file_path() no longer returns the user file path when applied to a backing file. There is an existing helper file_user_path() for that situation. Use file_user_path() instead of file_path() to get the path for MMAP and MMAP2 events. Example: Setup: # cd /root # mkdir test ; cd test ; mkdir lower upper work merged # cp `which cat` lower # mount -t overlay overlay -olowerdir=lower,upperdir=upper,workdir=work merged # perf record -e intel_pt//u -- /root/test/merged/cat /proc/self/maps ... 55b0ba399000-55b0ba434000 r-xp 00018000 00:1a 3419 /root/test/merged/cat ...

perf/core: Fix address filter match with backing files

2025-10-14T08:38:09Z

It was reported that Intel PT address filters do not work in Docker containers. That relates to the use of overlayfs. overlayfs records the backing file in struct vm_area_struct vm_file, instead of the user file that the user mmapped. In order for an address filter to match, it must compare to the user file inode. There is an existing helper file_user_inode() for that situation. Use file_user_inode() instead of file_inode() to get the inode for address filter matching. Example: Setup: # cd /root # mkdir test ; cd test ; mkdir lower upper work merged # cp `which cat` lower # mount -t overlay overlay -olowerdir=lower,upperdir=upper,workdir=work merged # perf record --buildid-mmap -e intel_pt//u --filter 'filter * @ /root/test/merged/cat' -- /root/test/merged/cat /proc/self/maps ... 55d61d246000-55d61d2e1000 r-xp 00018000 00:1a 3418 /root/test/merged/cat ...
