Pull perf tools updates from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
- Introduce 'perf inject --aslr' to remap ASLR-randomized addresses in
perf.data files, enabling reproducible analysis across runs with
different address space layouts
- Refactor evsel out of sample processing paths: store evsel in struct
perf_sample and remove the redundant evsel parameter from tool APIs,
tracepoint handlers, hist entry iterators, and db-export, simplifying
the entire tool callback chain
- Switch architecture detection from string-based perf_env__arch()
comparisons to the numeric ELF e_machine field across the codebase
(capstone, print_insn, c2c, lock-contention, sort, sample-raw,
machine, header), making cross-analysis more robust
- Overhaul ARM CoreSight ETM tests: add deterministic and named_threads
workloads, speed up basic and disassembly tests, add process
attribution and concurrent threads tests, remove unused workloads and
duplicate tests, queue context packets for the frontend decoder
- Add ARM SPE IMPDEF event decoding for Arm Neoverse N1, store MIDR in
arm_spe_pkt for per-CPU event mapping, handle missing CPU IDs
gracefully
- Refactor libunwind support: remove the libunwind-local backend, make
register reading cross-platform, add RISC-V libunwind support, allow
dynamic selection between libdw and libunwind unwinding at runtime
- Extensive hardening of perf.data parsing against crafted files: add
bounds checks and byte-swap validation for session records, feature
sections, header attributes, BPF metadata, auxtrace errors,
compressed events, CPU maps, build ID notes, and ELF program headers.
Add minimum event size validation and file offset diagnostics
- Fix libdw API contract violations across dwarf-aux, libdw,
probe-finder, annotate-data, and debuginfo subsystems. Fix callchain
parent update in ORDER_CALLER mode, support DWARF line 0 in inline
lists, handle multiple address spaces in callchains
- Fix numerous 'perf sched' bugs: thread reference leaks, memory leaks,
heap overflows with cross-machine recordings, NULL dereferences,
replace BUG_ON assertions with graceful error handling, bounds-check
CPU indices, fix SIGCHLD vs pause() races in sched stats
- Overhaul the build system: move BPF skeleton generation out of
Makefile.perf into bpf_skel.mak, decouple pmu-events from the prepare
target, make beauty generated C code standalone .o files, compile BPF
skeletons with -mcpu=v3, fix continuous rebuilds, various cleanups
- Add 'perf test' JUnit XML reporting with -j/--junit option, split
monolithic test suites into sub-tests, add summary reporting,
refactor parallel poll loop, fix test failures on musl-based systems
- Fix 'perf c2c' memory leaks in hist entry and format list handling,
use-after-free in error paths, bounds-check CPU and node IDs
- Fix 'perf bpf' metadata leaks on duplicate insert and alloc failure,
bounds-check array offsets, validate event sizes and func_info
fields, add NULL checks
- Fix hwmon PMU: off-by-one null termination on sysfs reads, strlcpy
buffer overflow in parse_hwmon_filename(), fd 0 check, empty label
reads, scnprintf usage
- Fix symbols subsystem: bounds-check ELF and sysfs build ID note
iteration, validate p_filesz, fix 32-bit ELF bswap error, fix signed
overflow in size checks, bounds-check .gnu_debuglink section
- Fix tools lib api: null termination in filename__read_int/ull(),
uninitialized stack data in filename__write_int(), snprintf
truncation in mount_overload()
- Replace libbabeltrace with babeltrace2-ctf-writer for CTF conversion
in 'perf data'
- Add RISC-V SDT argument parsing for static tracepoints
- Add 'perf trace --show-cpu' option to display CPU id
- Add 'perf bench sched pipe --write-size' option
- Add a perf-specific .clang-format that overrides some kernel style
behaviors
- Update Intel vendor events for Alder Lake, Arrow Lake, Clearwater
Forest, Emerald Rapids, Granite Rapids, Grand Ridge, Lunar Lake,
Meteor Lake, Panther Lake, Sapphire Rapids, Sierra Forest
- Add IOMMU metrics for AMD and Intel
- Fix AMD event: switch l2_itlb_misses to
bp_l1_tlb_miss_l2_tlb_miss.all
- Add AMD IBS improvements: decode Streaming-store and Remote-Socket
flags, suppress bogus fields on Zen4+, skip privilege test on Zen6+
- Fix 'perf lock contention' SIGCHLD vs pause() race, allow 'mmap_lock'
in -L filter, enable end-timestamp for cgroup aggregation, fix
non-atomic data updates
- Fix 'perf stat' false NMI watchdog warning in aggregation modes,
bounds-check CPU index in topology callbacks, add aggr_nr metric
parser support for uncore scaling
- Fix 'perf timechart' memory leaks, CPU bounds checking,
use-after-free on corrupted callchains
- Fix 'perf inject' itrace branch stack synthesis, fix synthesized
sample size with branch stacks
- Fix DSO heap overflow on decompressed paths, uninitialized pathname
on fallback, set proper error codes
- Fix various snprintf/scnprintf usages to prevent buffer overflows and
truncation across the codebase
- Fix off-by-one stack buffer overflow in kallsyms__parse()
- Fix 'perf kwork' memory management, address sanitizer issues, bounds
check work->cpu
- Fix 'perf tpebs' concurrent stop races and PID reuse hazards
- Add O_CLOEXEC to open() calls and use mkostemp() for temporary files
to prevent file descriptor leaks to child processes
- Fix s390 Python extension TEXTREL by compiling as PIC
- Fix build with ASAN for jitdump
- Fix build failure due to btf_vlen() return type change

Merge tag 'trace-rtla-v7.1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace
Pull RTLA updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Simplify option parsing
Auto-generate getopt_long() optstring for short options from long
options array, avoiding the need to specify it manually and reducing
the surface for mistakes.
- Add unit tests
Implement unit tests (make unit-tests) using libcheck, next to
existing runtime tests (make check). Currently, three functions from
utils.c are tested.
- Add --stack-format option
In addition to stopping stack pointer decoding (with -s/--stack
option) on first unresolvable pointer, allow also skipping
unresolvable pointers and displaying everything, configurable with a
new option.
- Unify number of CPUs into one global variable
Use one global variable, nr_cpus, to store the number of CPUs instead
of retrieving it and passing it at multiple places.
- Fix behavior in various corner cases
Make RTLA behave correctly in several corner cases: memory allocation
failure, invalid value read from kernel side, thread creation
failure, malformed time value input, and read/write failure or
interruption by signal.
- Improve string handling
Simplify several places in the code that handle strings, including
parsing of action arguments. A few new helper functions and variables
are added for that purpose.
- Get rid of magic numbers
Few places handling paths use a magic number of 1024. Replace it with
MAX_PATH and ARRAY_SIZE() macro.
- Unify threshold handling
Code that handles response to latency threshold is duplicated between
tools, which has led to bugs in the past. Unify it into a new helper
as much as possible.
- Fix segfault on SIGINT during cleanup
The SIGINT handler touches dynamically allocated memory. Detach it
before freeing it during cleanup to prevent segmentation fault and
discarding of output buffers. Also, properly document SIGINT handling
while at it.
