perf build: Remove NO_AUXTRACE build option

2025-11-14T07:03:11Z

The NO_AUXTRACE build option was used when the __get_cpuid feature test failed or if it was provided on the command line. The option no longer avoids a dependency on a library and so having the option is just adding complexity to the code base. Remove the option CONFIG_AUXTRACE from Build files and HAVE_AUXTRACE_SUPPORT by assuming it is always defined. Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers Reviewed-by: James Clark Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim

perf test: Move PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT parsing to common test

2025-07-25T17:37:58Z

test__x86_sample_parsing is identical to test__sample_parsing except it explicitly tested PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT. Now the parsing code is common move the PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT to the common sample parsing test and remove the x86 version.

perf topdown: Use attribute to see an event is a topdown metic or slots

2025-07-24T20:41:35Z

The string comparisons were overly broad and could fire for the incorrect PMU and events. Switch to using the config in the attribute then add a perf test to confirm the attribute config values match those of parsed events of that name and don't match others. This exposed matches for slots events that shouldn't have matched as the slots fixed counter event, such as topdown.slots_p.

perf build: Specify shellcheck should use bash

2025-06-30T16:43:06Z

When someone has a global shellcheckrc file, for example at ~/.config/shellcheckrc, with the directive 'shell=sh', building perf will fail with many shellcheck errors like: In tests/shell/base_probe/test_adding_kernel.sh line 294: (( TEST_RESULT += $? )) ^---------------------^ SC3006 (warning): In POSIX sh, standalone ((..)) is undefined. For more information: https://www.shellcheck.net/wiki/SC3006 -- In POSIX sh, standalone ((..)) is... make[5]: *** [tests/Build:91: tests/shell/base_probe/test_adding_kernel.sh.shellcheck_log] Error 1 Passing the '-s bash' option ensures that it runs correctly regardless of a developers global configuration.

perf test amd ibs: Add sample period unit test

2025-04-30T01:30:46Z

IBS Fetch and IBS Op PMUs has various constraints on supported sample periods. Add perf unit tests to test those. Running it in parallel with other tests causes intermittent failures. Mark it exclusive to force it to run sequentially.

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.

perf tests: Make x86 new instructions test optional at build time

2023-06-14T02:40:32Z

The "x86 instruction decoder - new instructions" test takes up space but is only really useful to developers. Make it optional at build time. Add variable EXTRA_TESTS which must be defined in order to build perf with the test. Example: Before: $ make -C tools/perf clean >/dev/null $ make -C tools/perf >/dev/null Makefile.config:650: No libunwind found. Please install libunwind-dev[el] >= 1.1 and/or set LIBUNWIND_DIR Makefile.config:1149: libpfm4 not found, disables libpfm4 support. Please install libpfm4-dev PERF_VERSION = 6.4.rc3.gd15b8c76c964 $ readelf -SW tools/perf/perf | grep '\.rela.dyn\|.rodata\|\.data.rel.ro' [10] .rela.dyn RELA 000000000002fcb0 02fcb0 0748b0 18 A 6 0 8 [18] .rodata PROGBITS 00000000002eb000 2eb000 6bac00 00 A 0 0 32 [25] .data.rel.ro PROGBITS 00000000009ea180 9e9180 04b540 00 WA 0 0 32 After: $ make -C tools/perf clean >/dev/null $ make -C tools/perf >/dev/null Makefile.config:650: No libunwind found. Please install libunwind-dev[el] >= 1.1 and/or set LIBUNWIND_DIR Makefile.config:1154: libpfm4 not found, disables libpfm4 support. Please install libpfm4-dev PERF_VERSION = 6.4.rc3.g4ea9c1569ea4 $ readelf -SW tools/perf/perf | grep '\.rela.dyn\|.rodata\|\.data.rel.ro' [10] .rela.dyn RELA 000000000002f3c8 02f3c8 036d68 18 A 6 0 8 [18] .rodata PROGBITS 00000000002ac000 2ac000 68da80 00 A 0 0 32 [25] .data.rel.ro PROGBITS 000000000097d440 97c440 022280 00 WA 0 0 32 Committer notes: Build with 'make EXTRA_TESTS=1 -C tools/perf O=/tmp/build/perf" and reproduced the ELF section size differences.
