Merge tag 'perf-tools-for-v7.3-2026-08-21' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/perf/perf-tools

Pull perf tools updates from Namhyung Kim:
"perf c2c:

- Add 'function view' in perf c2c report TUI (switched by pressing
'TAB' in the cacheline view) to organize samples around functions
rather than cachelines in 3-level hierarchy:

Level 1: Read-side function (sorted by estimated Cycles %)
Level 2: Contending writer functions (sorted by Store count)
Level 3: Shared cacheline addresses

Users can navigate the entries and fold/unfold using 'e' key. An
example output would look like below:

Shared Data Functions Table (19 entries, sorted on Cycles %)
Cycles Store
% count Function / Contending function / Cacheline
----------------------------------------------------------------------
+ 35.67% 876 + [k] cpupri_set
+ 24.31% 424 + [k] pull_rt_task

139 - [k] enqueue_pushable_task
70 0xff2d00a2071f9640
69 0xff2d0082809da000

python module support:

- Extend "perf" python module so that it can be fully functional. The
goal is to run scripts directly, not by 'perf script' command. This
would give better performance as well as more control to build
standalone programs with UI.

- Add LiveSession helper (perf_live.py) to enable live event
collection directly from Python using perf.evlist and
perf.parse_events.

perf stat:

- Add --hide-zero-events option to suppress zero-count events
- Reject conflicting --field-separator and --json-output options
- Fix duplicate event output with --for-each-cgroup

perf sched latency:

- Add -H/--histogram and --hist-mode (log|linear) options to show
scheduler wait latency histograms
- Add --time option to filter analysis by time span in 'perf sched
latency'

ARM CoreSight:

- Synthesize callchains for instruction samples from CoreSight trace
using thread stack ('--itrace=g...')
- Support call indentation ('perf script -F +callindent') to display
call depth hierarchy on branch samples
- Decode ETE (Embedded Trace Extension) exception packets

Build system:

- Add 'make install-build-deps' target to install required packages
- Parallelize JSON and metric pre-computation in jevents.py for
faster builds

Vendor event/metric updates:

- Add Intel Nova Lake events and update tables for existing models
- Update AMD Zen 5 and Zen 6 core events
- Update Arm64 Tegra410 metrics and PowerPC hcalls

Internal changes and fixes:

- Harden trace-event and synthetic event parsing against corrupted
data
- Fix unwinding of multi-threaded processes in libdw unwinder
- Fix memory leaks in various commands and python bindings
- Speed up 'perf test' shell tests"

Merge tag 'bpf-next-7.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bpf/bpf-next

Pull bpf updates from Daniel Borkmann:
"Major changes:

- Redesign the verifier error reporting: failures now carry source
and instruction annotations along with the causal event history
that led to them, making program rejections far easier to debug and
repair (Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi)

- Add arena argument support to kfuncs and struct_ops through the new
__arena and __arena__nullable suffixes (Tejun Heo, Puranjay Mohan,
Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi, Ihor Solodrai)

- Signed BPF program loader rework to accommodate both BPF and
security community needs where the kernel runs the signature
verification at BPF_PROG_LOAD time before the LSM admission hook
(Daniel Borkmann)

- Add a set of ksock kfuncs which let BPF LSM and syscall programs
create, connect and send on UDP sockets in order to emit telemetry
data (Mahe Tardy)

- Unify helper and kfunc call argument verification and classify
kfunc arguments purely from BTF into a generated bpf_func_proto
which is computed once at add-call time (Amery Hung)

Other features and fixes:

- Enable EXECMEM_ROX_CACHE for BPF allocations on x86 (Mike Rapoport)

- Add bidirectional VLAN support to bpf_fib_lookup() through the new
BPF_FIB_LOOKUP_VLAN and BPF_FIB_LOOKUP_VLAN_INPUT flags (Avinash
Duduskar)

- Infer zext_dst from static register liveness analysis to fix 32-bit
zero-extension semantics, and remove the artificial limitations on
pointer types eligible for spilling (Eduard Zingerman)

- Inline the numeric open-coded iterator kfuncs so that bpf_for()
loops no longer pay a kfunc call on every iteration (Puranjay
Mohan)

- Add an arena-based bitmap data structure to libarena along with
serial and parallel selftests (Emil Tsalapatis)

- Teach resolve_btfids to discover kfuncs from the kernel's BTF ID
sets and to emit kfunc BTF decl tags, reducing the kernel build's
dependency on pahole features (Ihor Solodrai)

- Add BPF_F_ADJ_ROOM_DECAP_* flags to bpf_skb_adjust_room() so that
tunnel decapsulation can update the GSO and encapsulation state of
the skb (Nick Hudson)

- Fix the ring buffer pending_pos walk and the available-data
accounting on 32-bit position wrap (Israel Téllez García)

- Add memory usage accounting for arena maps and fix an mmap_lock
deadlock on arena lock failure (Jiayuan Chen)

- Add tracing_multi link info support to the kernel UAPI and bpftool,
and refactor the stack map code to run with preemption disabled
(Jiri Olsa)

- Support BPF_F_EGRESS in bpf_redirect_peer() to emit the skb in the
egress direction of the target's peer device (Jordan Rife)

- Add a KF_SPINLOCK_SAFE kfunc flag so that providers, in particular
modules, can declare kfuncs safe to call under bpf_spin_lock
instead of relying on the verifier's hard-coded allowlist (Kaitao
Cheng)

- Introduce global percpu data for BPF programs with libbpf probing
and bpftool skeleton support, and stop exposing uninitialized
kernel heap memory when copying per-CPU map values (Leon Hwang)

- Add s390 JIT support for load-acquire and store-release
instructions (Maxim Khmelevskii)

- Fix a CFI mismatch in the task work callback and an arm64 KASAN
false positive after bpf_throw() (Mykyta Yatsenko)

- Reject writes through untrusted BTF pointers and bound the
rdonly/rdwr_buf_size kfunc arguments (Nicholas Dudar)

- Invalidate RCU pointers only after the final spin unlock and
account for preempt and IRQ disabled regions as overlapping RCU
protection (Ning Ding)

- Support mixing bpf2bpf calls and tail calls on RV64, add signed
operations and 32-bit atomics to the RV32 JIT, and add timed
may_goto support (Pu Lehui, Kuan-Wei Chiu, Feng Jiang)

- Fix a use-after-free on mm_struct in bpf_find_vma() for foreign
tasks and an mmap_lock leak in the irq_work path (Sanghyun Park)

- Populate mmap-able BPF array map memory lazily which makes mmap()
O(1) instead of proportional to the map size (Song Liu)

- Introduce a jit_required flag and reject programs with inlined
helpers when no JIT is available, where the interpreter would
otherwise jump into an invalid address (Tiezhu Yang)

- Fix the x86 JIT per-CPU address resolution into an extended
register where the REX prefix dropped the high destination register
bit (Vineet Gupta)

- Reject MEM_ALLOC BTF accesses past object bounds, arena frees below
the arena base, and mixed arena and ordinary atomic paths (Yiyang
Chen)

- Fix the trampoline handling of 128-bit arguments and of return
values larger than 8 bytes (Yonghong Song)

- Ensure that any fault prone load is rewritten with exception table
handling, and fix the arena load-acquire and atomic fetch handling
in the x86, arm64, riscv and s390 JITs (Daniel Borkmann)

- Many more fixes and cleanups across the verifier, arena,
trampolines, sockmap, cgroup, ring buffer, x86/arm64/riscv/s390
JITs, libbpf, bpftool, resolve_btfids and selftests"
