2025-12-02perf tools: Minimal DEFERRED_CALLCHAIN supportNamhyung Kim
Add a new event type for deferred callchains and a new callback for the struct perf_tool. For now it doesn't actually handle the deferred callchains but it just marks the sample if it has the PERF_CONTEXT_ USER_DEFFERED in the callchain array. At least, perf report can dump the raw data with this change. Actually this requires the next commit to enable attr.defer_callchain, but if you already have a data file, it'll show the following result. $ perf report -D ... 0x2158@perf.data [0x40]: event: 22 . . ... raw event: size 64 bytes . 0000: 16 00 00 00 02 00 40 00 06 00 00 00 0b 00 00 00 ......@......... . 0010: 03 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 a7 7f 33 fe 18 7f 00 00 ..........3..... . 0020: 0f 0e 33 fe 18 7f 00 00 48 14 33 fe 18 7f 00 00 ..3.....H.3..... . 0030: 08 09 00 00 08 09 00 00 e6 7a e7 35 1c 00 00 00 .........z.5.... 121163447014 0x2158 [0x40]: PERF_RECORD_CALLCHAIN_DEFERRED(IP, 0x2): 2312/2312: 0xb00000006 ...

2025-11-21tools/docs/get_feat.py: convert get_feat.pl to PythonMauro Carvalho Chehab
As we want to call Python code directly at the Sphinx extension, convert get_feat.pl to Python. The code was made to be (almost) bug-compatible with the Perl version, with two exceptions: 1. Currently, Perl script outputs a wrong table if arch is set to a non-existing value; 2. the ReST table output when --feat is used without --arch has an invalid format, as the number of characters for the table delimiters are wrong. Those two bugs were fixed while testing the conversion. Additionally, another caveat was solved: the output when --feat is used without arch and the feature doesn't exist doesn't contain an empty table anymore.

2025-11-14libbpf: Fix BTF dedup to support recursive typedef definitionsPaul Houssel
Handle recursive typedefs in BTF deduplication Pahole fails to encode BTF for some Go projects (e.g. Kubernetes and Podman) due to recursive type definitions that create reference loops not representable in C. These recursive typedefs trigger a failure in the BTF deduplication algorithm. This patch extends btf_dedup_ref_type() to properly handle potential recursion for BTF_KIND_TYPEDEF, similar to how recursion is already handled for BTF_KIND_STRUCT. This allows pahole to successfully generate BTF for Go binaries using recursive types without impacting existing C-based workflows.

When creating multi-split BTF we correctly set the start string offset to be the size of the base string section plus the base BTF start string offset; the latter is needed for multi-split BTF since the offset is non-zero there. Unfortunately the BTF parsing case needed that logic and it was missed.

Reimplement libbpf_sha256() using some basic SHA-256 C code. This eliminates the newly-added dependency on AF_ALG, which is a problematic UAPI that is not supported by all kernels. Make libbpf_sha256() return void, since it can no longer fail. This simplifies some callers. Also drop the unnecessary 'sha_out_sz' parameter. Finally, also fix the typo in "compute_sha_udpate_offsets".

2025-09-26libbpf: Fix error when st-prefix_ops and ops from differ btfD. Wythe
When a module registers a struct_ops, the struct_ops type and its corresponding map_value type ("bpf_struct_ops_") may reside in different btf objects, here are four possible case: +--------+---------------+-------------+---------------------------------+ | |bpf_struct_ops_| xxx_ops | | +--------+---------------+-------------+---------------------------------+ | case 0 | btf_vmlinux | btf_vmlinux | be used and reg only in vmlinux | +--------+---------------+-------------+---------------------------------+ | case 1 | btf_vmlinux | mod_btf | INVALID | +--------+---------------+-------------+---------------------------------+ | case 2 | mod_btf | btf_vmlinux | reg in mod but be used both in | | | | | vmlinux and mod. | +--------+---------------+-------------+---------------------------------+ | case 3 | mod_btf | mod_btf | be used and reg only in mod | +--------+---------------+-------------+---------------------------------+ Currently we figure out the mod_btf by searching with the struct_ops type, which makes it impossible to figure out the mod_btf when the struct_ops type is in btf_vmlinux while it's corresponding map_value type is in mod_btf (case 2). The fix is to use the corresponding map_value type ("bpf_struct_ops_") as the lookup anchor instead of the struct_ops type to figure out the `btf` and `mod_btf` via find_ksym_btf_id(), and then we can locate the kern_type_id via btf__find_by_name_kind() with the `btf` we just obtained from find_ksym_btf_id(). With this change the lookup obtains the correct btf and mod_btf for case 2, preserves correct behavior for other valid cases, and still fails as expected for the invalid scenario (case 1).

2025-09-22libbpf: Embed and verify the metadata hash in the loaderKP Singh
To fulfill the BPF signing contract, represented as Sig(I_loader || H_meta), the generated trusted loader program must verify the integrity of the metadata. This signature cryptographically binds the loader's instructions (I_loader) to a hash of the metadata (H_meta). The verification process is embedded directly into the loader program. Upon execution, the loader loads the runtime hash from struct bpf_map i.e. BPF_PSEUDO_MAP_IDX and compares this runtime hash against an expected hash value that has been hardcoded directly by bpf_obj__gen_loader. The load from bpf_map can be improved by calling BPF_OBJ_GET_INFO_BY_FD from the kernel context after BPF_OBJ_GET_INFO_BY_FD has been updated for being called from the kernel context. The following instructions are generated: ld_imm64 r1, const_ptr_to_map // insn[0].src_reg == BPF_PSEUDO_MAP_IDX r2 = *(u64 *)(r1 + 0); ld_imm64 r3, sha256_of_map_part1 // constant precomputed by bpftool (part of H_meta) if r2 != r3 goto out; r2 = *(u64 *)(r1 + 8); ld_imm64 r3, sha256_of_map_part2 // (part of H_meta) if r2 != r3 goto out; r2 = *(u64 *)(r1 + 16); ld_imm64 r3, sha256_of_map_part3 // (part of H_meta) if r2 != r3 goto out; r2 = *(u64 *)(r1 + 24); ld_imm64 r3, sha256_of_map_part4 // (part of H_meta) if r2 != r3 goto out; ...

2025-09-22libbpf: Update light skeleton for signingKP Singh
* The metadata map is created with as an exclusive map (with an excl_prog_hash) This restricts map access exclusively to the signed loader program, preventing tampering by other processes. * The map is then frozen, making it read-only from userspace. * BPF_OBJ_GET_INFO_BY_ID instructs the kernel to compute the hash of the metadata map (H') and store it in bpf_map->sha. * The loader is then loaded with the signature which is then verified by the kernel. loading signed programs prebuilt into the kernel are not currently supported. These can supported by enabling BPF_OBJ_GET_INFO_BY_ID to be called from the kernel.

2025-09-22bpf: Implement signature verification for BPF programsKP Singh
This patch extends the BPF_PROG_LOAD command by adding three new fields to `union bpf_attr` in the user-space API: - signature: A pointer to the signature blob. - signature_size: The size of the signature blob. - keyring_id: The serial number of a loaded kernel keyring (e.g., the user or session keyring) containing the trusted public keys. When a BPF program is loaded with a signature, the kernel: 1. Retrieves the trusted keyring using the provided `keyring_id`. 2. Verifies the supplied signature against the BPF program's instruction buffer. 3. If the signature is valid and was generated by a key in the trusted keyring, the program load proceeds. 4. If no signature is provided, the load proceeds as before, allowing for backward compatibility. LSMs can chose to restrict unsigned programs and implement a security policy. 5. If signature verification fails for any reason, the program is not loaded.

2025-09-12perf subcmd: avoid crash in exclude_cmds when excludes is emptyhupu
When cross-compiling the perf tool for ARM64, `perf help` may crash with the following assertion failure: help.c:122: exclude_cmds: Assertion `cmds->names[ci] == NULL' failed. This happens when the perf binary is not named exactly "perf" or when multiple "perf-*" binaries exist in the same directory. In such cases, the `excludes` command list can be empty, which leads to the final assertion in exclude_cmds() being triggered. Add a simple guard at the beginning of exclude_cmds() to return early if excludes->cnt is zero, preventing the crash.

2025-08-27libbpf: Fix USDT SIB argument handling causing unrecognized register errorJiawei Zhao
On x86-64, USDT arguments can be specified using Scale-Index-Base (SIB) addressing, e.g. "1@-96(%rbp,%rax,8)". The current USDT implementation in libbpf cannot parse this format, causing `bpf_program__attach_usdt()` to fail with -ENOENT (unrecognized register). This patch fixes this by implementing the necessary changes: - add correct handling for SIB-addressed arguments in `bpf_usdt_arg`. - add adaptive support to `__bpf_usdt_arg_type` and `__bpf_usdt_arg_spec` to represent SIB addressing parameters.
