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
- 16.53% 555 - [k] dequeue_pushable_task
145 - [k] pull_rt_task
145 0xff2d0082809da080
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"

perf build: Remove leftover feature tests for removed cxx and clang support

56b11a2126bf2f42 ("perf bpf: Remove support for embedding clang for
compiling BPF events (-e foo.c)") removed the test-cxx.cpp and
test-clang.cpp sources, but left behind their entries in the feature
test FILES list, the build rules and the cxx and clang entries in
FEATURE_TESTS_EXTRA.

Since the sources no longer exist, those rules would always fail,
making the artificial feature-cxx and feature-clang results to be
perpetually disabled/absent, remove the leftover entries, making the
feature test scripts list match the available sources.

Merge v7.2-rc1 into drm-rust-next to start the next cycle.

Devres now requires T: 'static, which conflicts with shmem::Object using
Devres<SGTableMap<T, C>> without that bound. Resolve by adding 'static
as a supertrait to DriverObject and DeviceContext, which does not
restrict any current use cases since DriverObject is always implemented
on owned, refcounted types and DeviceContext is a sealed marker trait
with only unit-type implementors.

If DriverObject (or DeviceContext) ever becomes lifetime-parameterized
(e.g. via a GAT for TTM backed objects), the 'static supertrait can be
relaxed at that point.

perf data ctf: replace libbabeltrace with babeltrace2-ctf-writer

The 1.x branch of Babeltrace has been superseded by 2.x in 2020 and has
been unmaintained since 2022, efforts have started to remove it from
popular distributions.

Babeltrace 2.x offers a very similar 'ctf-writer' library that can be used
with minimal changes for the '--to-ctf' feature and has been packaged
since Debian 11 and Fedora 32.

This patch replaces the 'libbabeltrace' build feature with
'babeltrace2-ctf-writer' using pkgconfig detection, adjusts the naming of
the public headers and applies minor API cleanups.

There is no changes to the output ctf traces, the ctf-writer API still
implements version 1.8 of the CTF specification that can be read by
either Babeltrace 1 / 2 or any CTF compliant reader.

Also remove some ifdefs in the cli option parsing to allow printing the
helpful error message with '--to-ctf' when built without babeltrace2.
