perf python: Check if there is space to copy all the event

2025-04-10T12:37:34Z

[ Upstream commit 89aaeaf84231157288035b366cb6300c1c6cac64 ] The pyrf_event__new() method copies the event obtained from the perf ring buffer to a structure that will then be turned into a python object for further consumption, so it copies perf_event.header.size bytes to its 'event' member: $ pahole -C pyrf_event /tmp/build/perf-tools-next/python/perf.cpython-312-x86_64-linux-gnu.so struct pyrf_event { PyObject ob_base; /* 0 16 */ struct evsel * evsel; /* 16 8 */ struct perf_sample sample; /* 24 312 */ /* XXX last struct has 7 bytes of padding, 2 holes */ /* --- cacheline 5 boundary (320 bytes) was 16 bytes ago --- */ union perf_event event; /* 336 4168 */ /* size: 4504, cachelines: 71, members: 4 */ /* member types with holes: 1, total: 2 */ /* paddings: 1, sum paddings: 7 */ /* last cacheline: 24 bytes */ }; $ It was doing so without checking if the event just obtained has more than that space, fix it. This isn't a proper, final solution, as we need to support larger events, but for the time being we at least bounds check and document it.

perf python: Don't keep a raw_data pointer to consumed ring buffer space

2025-04-10T12:37:34Z

[ Upstream commit f3fed3ae34d606819d87a63d970cc3092a5be7ab ] When processing tracepoints the perf python binding was parsing the event before calling perf_mmap__consume(&md->core) in pyrf_evlist__read_on_cpu(). But part of this event parsing was to set the perf_sample->raw_data pointer to the payload of the event, which then could be overwritten by other event before tracepoint fields were asked for via event.prev_comm in a python program, for instance. This also happened with other fields, but strings were were problems were surfacing, as there is UTF-8 validation for the potentially garbled data. This ended up showing up as (with some added debugging messages): ( field 'prev_comm' ret=0x7f7c31f65110, raw_size=68 ) ( field 'prev_pid' ret=0x7f7c23b1bed0, raw_size=68 ) ( field 'prev_prio' ret=0x7f7c239c0030, raw_size=68 ) ( field 'prev_state' ret=0x7f7c239c0250, raw_size=68 ) time 14771421785867 prev_comm= prev_pid=1919907691 prev_prio=796026219 prev_state=0x303a32313175 ==> ( XXX '��' len=16, raw_size=68) ( field 'next_comm' ret=(nil), raw_size=68 ) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/acme/git/perf-tools-next/tools/perf/python/tracepoint.py", line 51, in main() File "/home/acme/git/perf-tools-next/tools/perf/python/tracepoint.py", line 46, in main event.next_comm, ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ AttributeError: 'perf.sample_event' object has no attribute 'next_comm' When event.next_comm was asked for, the PyUnicode_FromString() python API would fail and that tracepoint field wouldn't be available, stopping the tools/perf/python/tracepoint.py test tool. But, since we already do a copy of the whole event in pyrf_event__new, just use it and while at it remove what was done in in e8968e654191390a ("perf python: Fix pyrf_evlist__read_on_cpu event consuming") because we don't really need to wait for parsing the sample before declaring the event as consumed. This copy is questionable as is now, as it limits the maximum event + sample_type and tracepoint payload to sizeof(union perf_event), this all has been "working" because 'struct perf_event_mmap2', the largest entry in 'union perf_event' is: $ pahole -C perf_event ~/bin/perf | grep mmap2 struct perf_record_mmap2 mmap2; /* 0 4168 */ $ Fixes: bae57e3825a3dded ("perf python: Add support to resolve tracepoint fields") Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Reviewed-by: Ian Rogers Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250312203141.285263-6-acme@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

perf arm-spe: Fix load-store operation checking

[ Upstream commit e1d47850bbf79a541c9b3bacdd562f5e0112274d ] The ARM_SPE_OP_LD and ARM_SPE_OP_ST operations are secondary operation type, they are overlapping with other second level's operation types belonging to SVE and branch operations. As a result, a non load-store operation can be parsed for data source and memory sample. To fix the issue, this commit introduces a is_ldst_op() macro for checking LDST operation, and apply the checking when synthesize data source and memory samples.

perf pmu: Don't double count common sysfs and json events

2025-04-10T12:37:32Z

[ Upstream commit c9d699e10fa6c0cdabcddcf991e7ff42af6b2503 ] After pmu_add_cpu_aliases() is called, perf_pmu__num_events() returns an incorrect value that double counts common events and doesn't match the actual count of events in the alias list. This is because after 'cpu_aliases_added == true', the number of events returned is 'sysfs_aliases + cpu_json_aliases'. But when adding 'case EVENT_SRC_SYSFS' events, 'sysfs_aliases' and 'cpu_json_aliases' are both incremented together, failing to account that these ones overlap and only add a single item to the list. Fix it by adding another counter for overlapping events which doesn't influence 'cpu_json_aliases'. There doesn't seem to be a current issue because it's used in perf list before pmu_add_cpu_aliases() so the correct value is returned. Other uses in tests may also miss it for other reasons like only looking at uncore events. However it's marked as a fixes commit in case any new fix with new uses of perf_pmu__num_events() is backported.
