2025-10-19perf tools: Fix arm64 libjvmti build by generating unistd_64.hVincent Minet1-1/+1
[ Upstream commit f3b601f900902ab80902c44f820a8985384ac021 ] Since commit 22f72088ffe6 ("tools headers: Update the syscall table with the kernel sources") the arm64 syscall header is generated at build time. Later, commit bfb713ea53c7 ("perf tools: Fix arm64 build by generating unistd_64.h") added a dependency to libperf to guarantee that this header was created before building libperf or perf itself. However, libjvmti also requires this header but does not depend on libperf, leading to build failures such as: In file included from /usr/include/sys/syscall.h:24, from /usr/include/syscall.h:1, from jvmti/jvmti_agent.c:36: tools/arch/arm64/include/uapi/asm/unistd.h:2:10: fatal error: asm/unistd_64.h: No such file or directory 2 | #include <asm/unistd_64.h> Fix this by ensuring that libperf is built before libjvmti, so that unistd_64.h is always available.

2025-10-19perf python: split Clang options when invoking PopenLeo Yan1-1/+4
[ Upstream commit c6a43bc3e8f6102a47da0d2e53428d08f00172fb ] When passing a list to subprocess.Popen, each element maps to one argv token. Current code bundles multiple Clang flags into a single element, something like: cmd = ['clang', '--target=x86_64-linux-gnu -fintegrated-as -Wno-cast-function-type-mismatch', 'test-hello.c'] So Clang only sees one long, invalid option instead of separate flags, as a result, the script cannot capture any log via PIPE. Fix this by using shlex.split() to separate the string so each option becomes its own argv element. The fixed list will be: cmd = ['clang', '--target=x86_64-linux-gnu', '-fintegrated-as', '-Wno-cast-function-type-mismatch', 'test-hello.c'] Fixes: 09e6f9f98370 ("perf python: Fix splitting CC into compiler and options") Signed-off-by: Leo Yan <leo.yan@arm.com> Reviewed-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251006-perf_build_android_ndk-v3-2-4305590795b2@arm.com Cc: Palmer Dabbelt <palmer@dabbelt.com> Cc: Albert Ou <aou@eecs.berkeley.edu> Cc: Alexandre Ghiti <alex@ghiti.fr> Cc: Nick Desaulniers <nick.desaulniers+lkml@gmail.com> Cc: Justin Stitt <justinstitt@google.com> Cc: Bill Wendling <morbo@google.com> Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@kernel.org> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Nathan Chancellor <nathan@kernel.org> Cc: James Clark <james.clark@linaro.org> Cc: linux-riscv@lists.infradead.org Cc: llvm@lists.linux.dev Cc: Paul Walmsley <paul.walmsley@sifive.com> Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Cc: linux-perf-users@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
2025-10-19perf bpf_counter: Fix handling of cpumap fixing hybridIan Rogers2-17/+12
[ Upstream commit b91917c0c6fa6df97ec0222d8d6285ab2d60c21b ] Don't open evsels on all CPUs, open them just on the CPUs they support. This avoids opening say an e-core event on a p-core and getting a failure - achieve this by getting rid of the "all_cpu_map". In install_pe functions don't use the cpu_map_idx as a CPU number, translate the cpu_map_idx, which is a dense index into the cpu_map skipping holes at the beginning, to a proper CPU number.

2025-08-07perf bpf-filter: Enable events manuallyIlya Leoshkevich1-1/+4
On s390, and, in general, on all platforms where the respective event supports auxiliary data gathering, the command: # ./perf record -u 0 -aB --synth=no -- ./perf test -w thloop [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.011 MB perf.data ] # ./perf report --stats | grep SAMPLE # does not generate samples in the perf.data file. On x86 the command: # sudo perf record -e intel_pt// -u 0 ls is broken too. Looking at the sequence of calls in 'perf record' reveals this behavior: 1. The event 'cycles' is created and enabled: record__open() +-> evlist__apply_filters() +-> perf_bpf_filter__prepare() +-> bpf_program.attach_perf_event() +-> bpf_program.attach_perf_event_opts() +-> __GI___ioctl(..., PERF_EVENT_IOC_ENABLE, ...) The event 'cycles' is enabled and active now. However the event's ring-buffer to store the samples generated by hardware is not allocated yet. 2. The event's fd is mmap()ed to create the ring buffer: record__open() +-> record__mmap() +-> record__mmap_evlist() +-> evlist__mmap_ex() +-> perf_evlist__mmap_ops() +-> mmap_per_cpu() +-> mmap_per_evsel() +-> mmap__mmap() +-> perf_mmap__mmap() +-> mmap() This allocates the ring buffer for the event 'cycles'. With mmap() the kernel creates the ring buffer: perf_mmap(): kernel function to create the event's ring | buffer to save the sampled data. | +-> ring_buffer_attach(): Allocates memory for ring buffer. | The PMU has auxiliary data setup function. The | has_aux(event) condition is true and the PMU's | stop() is called to stop sampling. It is not | restarted: | | if (has_aux(event)) | perf_event_stop(event, 0); | +-> cpumsf_pmu_stop(): Hardware sampling is stopped. No samples are generated and saved anymore. 3. After the event 'cycles' has been mapped, the event is enabled a second time in: __cmd_record() +-> evlist__enable() +-> __evlist__enable() +-> evsel__enable_cpu() +-> perf_evsel__enable_cpu() +-> perf_evsel__run_ioctl() +-> perf_evsel__ioctl() +-> __GI___ioctl(., PERF_EVENT_IOC_ENABLE, .) The second ioctl(fd, PERF_EVENT_IOC_ENABLE, 0); is just a NOP in this case. The first invocation in (1.) sets the event::state to PERF_EVENT_STATE_ACTIVE. The kernel functions perf_ioctl() +-> _perf_ioctl() +-> _perf_event_enable() +-> __perf_event_enable() return immediately because event::state is already set to PERF_EVENT_STATE_ACTIVE. This happens on s390, because the event 'cycles' offers the possibility to save auxilary data. The PMU callbacks setup_aux() and free_aux() are defined. Without both callback functions, cpumsf_pmu_stop() is not invoked and sampling continues. To remedy this, remove the first invocation of ioctl(..., PERF_EVENT_IOC_ENABLE, ...). in step (1.) Create the event in step (1.) and enable it in step (3.) after the ring buffer has been mapped.

Pull perf tools updates from Namhyung Kim: "Build-ID processing goodies: Build-IDs are content based hashes to link regions of memory to ELF files in post processing. They have been available in distros for quite a while: $ file /bin/bash /bin/bash: ELF 64-bit LSB pie executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, BuildID[sha1]=707a1c670cd72f8e55ffedfbe94ea98901b7ce3a, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, stripped It is possible to ask the kernel to get it from mmap executable backing storage at time they are being put in place and send it as metadata at that moment to have in perf.data. Prefer that across the board to speed up 'record' time - it post processes the samples to find binaries touched by any samples and to save them with build-ID. It can skip reading build-ID in userspace if it comes from the kernel. perf record: * Make --buildid-mmap default. The kernel can generate MMAP2 events with a build-ID from ELF header. Use that by default instead of using inode and device ID to identify binaries. It also can be disabled with --no-buildid-mmap. * Use BPF for -u/--uid option to sample processes belong to a user. BPF can track user processes more accurately and the existing logic often fails to get the list of processes due to race with reading the /proc filesystem. * Generate PERF_RECORD_BPF_METADATA when it profiles BPF programs and they have variables starting with "bpf_metadata_". This will help to identify BPF objects used in the profile. This has been supported in bpftool for some time and allows the recording of metadata such as commit hashes, versions, etc, that now gets recorded in perf.data as well. * Collect list of DSOs touched in the sample callchains as well as in the sample itself. This would increase the processing time at the end of record, but can improve the data quality. perf stat: * Add a new 'drm' pseudo-PMU support like in 'hwmon'. It can collect DRM usage stats using fdinfo in /proc. On my Intel laptop, it shows like below: $ perf list drm ... drm: drm-active-stolen-system0 [Total memory active in one or more engines.

2025-07-31perf record: Cache build-ID of hit DSOs onlyNamhyung Kim1-1/+1
It post-processes samples to find which DSO has samples. Based on that info, it can save used DSOs in the build-ID cache directory. But for some reason, it saves all DSOs without checking the hit mark. Skipping unused DSOs can give some speedup especially with --buildid-mmap being default. On my idle machine, `time perf record -a sleep 1` goes down from 3 sec to 1.5 sec with this change.

Trying to detect every possible path leading to architecturally forbidden states is hard and even risks breaking userspace (if it goes from valid to valid state but passes through invalid states), so just wait until KVM_RUN to detect that the vCPU state isn't allowed - Add KVM_X86_DISABLE_EXITS_APERFMPERF to allow disabling interception of APERF/MPERF reads, so that a "properly" configured VM can access APERF/MPERF. This has many caveats (APERF/MPERF cannot be zeroed on vCPU creation or saved/restored on suspend and resume, or preserved over thread migration let alone VM migration) but can be useful whenever you're interested in letting Linux guests see the effective physical CPU frequency in /proc/cpuinfo - Reject KVM_SET_TSC_KHZ for vm file descriptors if vCPUs have been created, as there's no known use case for changing the default frequency for other VM types and it goes counter to the very reason why the ioctl was added to the vm file descriptor. And also, there would be no way to make it work for confidential VMs with a "secure" TSC, so kill two birds with one stone - Dynamically allocation the shadow MMU's hashed page list, and defer allocating the hashed list until it's actually needed (the TDP MMU doesn't use the list) - Extract many of KVM's helpers for accessing architectural local APIC state to common x86 so that they can be shared by guest-side code for Secure AVIC - Various cleanups and fixes x86 (Intel): - Preserve the host's DEBUGCTL.FREEZE_IN_SMM when running the guest. Failure to honor FREEZE_IN_SMM can leak host state into guests - Explicitly check vmcs12.GUEST_DEBUGCTL on nested VM-Enter to prevent L1 from running L2 with features that KVM doesn't support, e.g. BTF x86 (AMD): - WARN and reject loading kvm-amd.ko instead of panicking the kernel if the nested SVM MSRPM offsets tracker can't handle an MSR (which is pretty much a static condition and therefore should never happen, but still) - Fix a variety of flaws and bugs in the AVIC device posted IRQ code - Inhibit AVIC if a vCPU's ID is too big (relative to what hardware supports) instead of rejecting vCPU creation - Extend enable_ipiv module param support to SVM, by simply leaving IsRunning clear in the vCPU's physical ID table entry - Disable IPI virtualization, via enable_ipiv, if the CPU is affected by erratum #1235, to allow (safely) enabling AVIC on such CPUs - Request GA Log interrupts if and only if the target vCPU is blocking, i.e. only if KVM needs a notification in order to wake the vCPU - Intercept SPEC_CTRL on AMD if the MSR shouldn't exist according to the vCPU's CPUID model - Accept any SNP policy that is accepted by the firmware with respect to SMT and single-socket restrictions. An incompatible policy doesn't put the kernel at risk in any way, so there's no reason for KVM to care - Drop a superfluous WBINVD (on all CPUs!) when destroying a VM and use WBNOINVD instead of WBINVD when possible for SEV cache maintenance - When reclaiming memory from an SEV guest, only do cache flushes on CPUs that have ever run a vCPU for the guest, i.e. don't flush the caches for CPUs that can't possibly have cache lines with dirty, encrypted data Generic: - Rework irqbypass to track/match producers and consumers via an xarray instead of a linked list. Using a linked list leads to O(n^2) insertion times, which is hugely problematic for use cases that create large numbers of VMs. Such use cases typically don't actually use irqbypass, but eliminating the pointless registration is a future problem to solve as it likely requires new uAPI - Track irqbypass's "token" as "struct eventfd_ctx *" instead of a "void *", to avoid making a simple concept unnecessarily difficult to understand - Decouple device posted IRQs from VFIO device assignment, as binding a VM to a VFIO group is not a requirement for enabling device posted IRQs - Clean up and document/comment the irqfd assignment code - Disallow binding multiple irqfds to an eventfd with a priority waiter, i.e. ensure an eventfd is bound to at most one irqfd through the entire host, and add a selftest to verify eventfd:irqfd bindings are globally unique - Add a tracepoint for KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES to help debug issues related to private <=> shared memory conversions - Drop guest_memfd's .getattr() implementation as the VFS layer will call generic_fillattr() if inode_operations.getattr is NULL - Fix issues with dirty ring harvesting where KVM doesn't bound the processing of entries in any way, which allows userspace to keep KVM in a tight loop indefinitely - Kill off kvm_arch_{start,end}_assignment() and x86's associated tracking, now that KVM no longer uses assigned_device_count as a heuristic for either irqbypass usage or MDS mitigation Selftests: - Fix a comment typo - Verify KVM is loaded when getting any KVM module param so that attempting to run a selftest without kvm.ko loaded results in a SKIP message about KVM not being loaded/enabled (versus some random parameter not existing) - Skip tests that hit EACCES when attempting to access a file, and print a "Root required?" help message.

2025-07-26perf list: Skip ABI PMUs when printing pmu valuesIan Rogers5-5/+23
Avoid printing tracepoint, legacy and software events when listing for the pmu option. Add the PMU type to the print_event callbacks to ease detection.

2025-07-26perf list: Remove tracepoint printing codeIan Rogers3-101/+23
Now that the tp_pmu can iterate and describe events remove the custom tracepoint printing logic, this avoids perf list showing the tracepoint events twice.

2025-07-26perf tp_pmu: Factor existing tracepoint logic to new fileIan Rogers5-106/+170
Start the creation of a tracepoint PMU abstraction. Tracepoint events don't follow the regular sysfs perf conventions. Eventually the new PMU abstraction will bridge the gap so tracepoint events look more like regular perf ones.
