2026-03-17perf kvm stat: Fix relative paths for including headersLeo Yan

2026-03-17perf parse-events: Fix big-endian 'overwrite' by writing correct union memberThomas Richter
The "Read backward ring buffer" test crashes on big-endian (e.g. s390x) due to a NULL dereference when the backward mmap path isn't enabled. Reproducer: # ./perf test -F 'Read backward ring buffer' Segmentation fault (core dumped) # uname -m s390x # Root cause: get_config_terms() stores into evsel_config_term::val.val (u64) while later code reads boolean fields such as evsel_config_term::val.overwrite. On big-endian the 1-byte boolean is left-aligned, so writing evsel_config_term::val.val = 1 is read back as evsel_config_term::val.overwrite = 0, leaving backward mmap disabled and a NULL map being used. Store values in the union member that matches the term type, e.g.: /* for OVERWRITE */ new_term->val.overwrite = 1; /* not new_term->val.val = 1 */ to fix this. Improve add_config_term() and add two more parameters for string and value. Function add_config_term() now creates a complete node element of type evsel_config_term and handles all evsel_config_term::val union members. Impact: Enables backward mmap on big-endian and prevents the crash. No change on little-endian.

2026-03-11perf synthetic-events: Fix stale build ID in module MMAP2 recordsChuck Lever
perf_event__synthesize_modules() allocates a single union perf_event and reuses it across every kernel module callback. After the first module is processed, perf_record_mmap2__read_build_id() sets PERF_RECORD_MISC_MMAP_BUILD_ID in header.misc and writes that module's build ID into the event. On subsequent iterations the callback overwrites start, len, pid, and filename for the next module but never clears the stale build ID fields or the MMAP_BUILD_ID flag. When perf_record_mmap2__read_build_id() runs for the second module it sees the flag, reads the stale build ID into a dso_id, and __dso__improve_id() permanently poisons the DSO with the wrong build ID. Every module after the first therefore receives the first module's build ID in its MMAP2 record. On a system with the sunrpc and nfsd modules loaded, this causes perf script and perf report to show [unknown] for all module symbols. The latent bug has existed since commit d9f2ecbc5e47fca7 ("perf dso: Move build_id to dso_id") introduced the PERF_RECORD_MISC_MMAP_BUILD_ID check in perf_record_mmap2__read_build_id(). Commit 53b00ff358dc75b1 ("perf record: Make --buildid-mmap the default") then exposed it to all users by making the MMAP2-with-build-ID path the default. Both commits were merged in the same series. Clear the MMAP_BUILD_ID flag and zero the build_id union before each call to perf_record_mmap2__read_build_id() so that every module starts with a clean slate.

2026-03-10perf cs-etm: Finish removal of ETM_OPT_*James Clark
These #defines have been removed from the kernel headers in favour of the string based PMU format attributes. Usages were previously removed from the recording side of cs-etm in Perf. Finish the removal by removing usages from the decode side too. It's a straight replacement of the old #defines with the new register bit definitions. Except cs_etm__setup_timeless_decoding() which wasn't looking at the saved metadata and was instead hard coding an access to 'attr.config'. This was vulnerable to the same issue of .config being moved to .config2 etc that the original removal of ETM_OPT_* tried to fix. So fix that too.

2026-02-10perf evlist: Reduce affinity use and move into iterator, fix no affinityIan Rogers
The evlist__for_each_cpu iterator will call sched_setaffitinity when moving between CPUs to avoid IPIs. If only 1 IPI is saved then this may be unprofitable as the delay to get scheduled may be considerable. This may be particularly true if reading an event group in `perf stat` in interval mode. Move the affinity handling completely into the iterator so that a single evlist__use_affinity can determine whether CPU affinities will be used. For `perf record` the change is minimal as the dummy event and the real event will always make the use of affinities the thing to do. In `perf stat`, tool events are ignored and affinities only used if >1 event on the same CPU occur. Determining if affinities are useful is done by evlist__use_affinity which tests per-event whether the event's PMU benefits from affinity use - it is assumed only perf event using PMUs do. Fix a bug where when there are no affinities that the CPU map iterator may reference a CPU not present in the initial evsel. Fix by making the iterator and non-iterator code common.

Tool events like duration_time don't need a perf_cpu_map that contains all online CPUs. Having such a perf_cpu_map causes overheads when iterating between events for CPU affinity. During parsing mark events that just read on a single CPU map index as such, then during map propagation set up the evsel's CPUs and thereby the evlists accordingly. The setting cannot be done early in parsing as user CPUs are only fully known when evlist__create_maps is called.

This is the maximum time the function read_addr2line_record() waits for a reply from the forked off tool addr2line, which is started as a child in interactive mode. It reads stdin (an address in hexadecimal) and replies on stdout with function name, file name and line number. This might take more than one second. However one second is not always enough and the reply from addr2line tool is not received. Function read_addr2line_record() fails and emits a warning, which is not expected by the test case. It fails.

2026-02-06perf stat: Ensure metrics are displayed even with failed eventsChun-Tse Shao
Currently, `perf stat` skips or hides metrics when the underlying hardware events cannot be counted (e.g., due to insufficient permissions or unsupported events). In `--metric-only` mode, this often results in missing columns or blank spaces, making the output difficult to parse. Modify the logic to ensure metrics are consistently displayed by propagating NAN (Not a Number) through the expression evaluator. Specifically: 1. Update `prepare_metric()` in stat-shadow.c to treat uncounted events (where `run == 0`) as NAN. This leverages the existing math in expr.y to propagate NAN through metric expressions. 2. Remove the early return in the display logic's `printout()` function that was previously skipping metrics in `--metric-only` mode for failed events. l 3. Simplify `perf_stat__skip_metric_event()` to no longer depend on event runtime. Tested: 1. `perf all metrics test` did not crash while paranoid is 2. 2. Multiple combinations with `CPUs_utilized` while paranoid is 2. $ ./perf stat -M CPUs_utilized -a -- sleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'system wide': <not supported> msec cpu-clock:u # nan CPUs CPUs_utilized 1,006,356,120 duration_time 1.004375550 seconds time elapsed $ ./perf stat -M CPUs_utilized -a -j -- sleep 1 {"counter-value" : "<not supported>", "unit" : "msec", "event" : "cpu-clock:u", "event-runtime" : 0, "pcnt-running" : 100.00, "metric-value" : "nan", "metric-unit" : "CPUs CPUs_utilized"} {"counter-value" : "1006642462.000000", "unit" : "", "event" : "duration_time", "event-runtime" : 1, "pcnt-running" : 100.00} $ ./perf stat -M CPUs_utilized -a --metric-only -- sleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'system wide': CPUs CPUs_utilized nan 1.004424652 seconds time elapsed $ ./perf stat -M CPUs_utilized -a --metric-only -j -- sleep 1 {"CPUs CPUs_utilized" : "none"} Reviewed-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com> Signed-off-by: Chun-Tse Shao <ctshao@google.com> Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: James Clark <james.clark@linaro.org> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Kan Liang <kan.liang@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Yang Li <yang.lee@linux.alibaba.com> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

The current IP of a leaf function when reported from a perf record with "--call-graph lbr" is the "to" field of the LBR branch stack record. The sample for the event being recorded may be further into the function and there may be inlining information associated with it. Rather than use the branch stack "to" field in this case switch to the callchain appending the sample->ip and thereby allowing the inline information to show.

2026-02-06perf regs: Remove __weak attributive arch__xxx_reg_mask() functionsDapeng Mi
Currently, some architecture-specific perf-regs functions, such as arch__intr_reg_mask() and arch__user_reg_mask(), are defined with the __weak attribute. This approach ensures that only functions matching the architecture of the build/run host are compiled and executed, reducing build time and binary size. However, this __weak attribute restricts these functions to be called only on the same architecture, preventing cross-architecture functionality. For example, a perf.data file captured on x86 cannot be parsed on an ARM platform. To address this limitation, this patch removes the __weak attribute from these perf-regs functions. The architecture-specific code is moved from the arch/ directory to the util/perf-regs-arch/ directory. The appropriate architectural functions are then called based on the EM_HOST. No functional changes are intended.

2026-02-03perf kvm: Wire up e_machineIan Rogers
Pass the e_machine to the kvm functions so that they aren't just wired to EM_HOST. In the case of a session move some setup until the session is created. As the session isn't fully running the default EM_HOST is returned as no e_machine can be found in a running machine. This is, however, some marginal progress to cross platform support.

2026-02-03perf kvm stat: Remove use of the arch directoryIan Rogers
`perf kvm stat` supports record and report options. By using the arch directory a report for a different machine type cannot be supported. Move the kvm-stat code out of the arch directory and into util/kvm-stat-arch following the pattern of perf-regs and dwarf-regs. Avoid duplicate symbols by renaming functions to have the architecture name within them. For global variables, wrap them in an architecture specific function. Selecting the architecture to use with `perf kvm stat` is selected by EM_HOST, ie no different than before the change. Later the ELF machine can be determined from the session or a header feature (ie EM_HOST at the time of the record). The build and #define HAVE_KVM_STAT_SUPPORT is now redundant so remove across Makefiles and in the build. Opportunistically constify architectural structs and arrays.

2026-02-03perf capstone: Support for dlopen-ing libcapstone.soIan Rogers
If perf is built with LIBCAPSTONE_DLOPEN=1, support dlopen-ing libcapstone.so and then calling the necessary functions by looking them up using dlsym. The types come from capstone.h which means the libcapstone feature check needs to pass, and NO_CAPSTONE=1 hasn't been defined. This will cause the definition of HAVE_LIBCAPSTONE_SUPPORT. Earlier versions of this code tried to declare the necessary capstone.h constants and structs, but they weren't stable and caused breakages across libcapstone releases.

2026-01-28perf util: Fix NULL check in cpumask_to_cpulist()Swapnil Sapkal
The function cpumask_to_cpulist() allocates memory with calloc() and stores the result in 'bm', but then incorrectly checks 'cpumask' for NULL instead of 'bm'. This means that if the allocation fails, the function will dereference a NULL pointer when trying to access 'bm'. Fix the check to test the correct variable 'bm'.

2026-01-27perf strlist: Remove dont_dupstr logic, used only onceArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Ian Rogers noticed that 678ed6b707e4b2db ("perf strlist: Don't write to const memory") breaks the 'Remove thread map' 'perf test' entry, because it keeps pointers to the temporary string introduced to avoid touching the const memory. This is because the thread_map__new_by_[pt]id_str() were the only methods using the slist->dont_dupstr knob to keep pointers to the original const string list, as it uses strtol to parse numbers and it stops at the comma. As this is the only case of dont_dupstr use, dupstr being the default, and it gets in the way of getting rid of the last const-correctness, remove this knob, with it: $ perf test 37 37: Remove thread map : Ok $ Fixes: 678ed6b707e4b2db ("perf strlist: Don't write to const memory") Reported-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com> Tested-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
