Merge tag 'perf-tools-for-v6.15-2025-03-27' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/perf/perf-tools

Merge tag 'perf-tools-for-v6.15-2025-03-27' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/perf/perf-tools

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

- Introduce latency profiling using scheduler information.

The latency profiling is to show impacts on wall-time rather than
cpu-time. By tracking context switches, it can weight samples and
find which part of the code contributed more to the execution
latency.

The value (period) of the sample is weighted by dividing it by the
number of parallel execution at the moment. The parallelism is
tracked in perf report with sched-switch records. This will reduce
the portion that are run in parallel and in turn increase the
portion of serial executions.

For now, it's limited to profile processes, IOW system-wide
profiling is not supported. You can add --latency option to enable
this.

$ perf record --latency -- make -C tools/perf

I've run the above command for perf build which adds -j option to
make with the number of CPUs in the system internally. Normally
it'd show something like below:

$ perf report -F overhead,comm
...
#
# Overhead Command
# ........ ...............
#
78.97% cc1
6.54% python3
4.21% shellcheck
3.28% ld
1.80% as
1.37% cc1plus
0.80% sh
0.62% clang
0.56% gcc
0.44% perl
0.39% make
...

The cc1 takes around 80% of the overhead as it's the actual
compiler. However it runs in parallel so its contribution to
latency may be less than that. Now, perf report will show both
overhead and latency (if --latency was given at record time) like
below:

$ perf report -s comm
...
#
# Overhead Latency Command
# ........ ........ ...............
#
78.97% 48.66% cc1
6.54% 25.68% python3
4.21% 0.39% shellcheck
3.28% 13.70% ld
1.80% 2.56% as
1.37% 3.08% cc1plus
0.80% 0.98% sh
0.62% 0.61% clang
0.56% 0.33% gcc
0.44% 1.71% perl
0.39% 0.83% make
...

You can see latency of cc1 goes down to around 50% and python3 and
ld contribute a lot more than their overhead. You can use --latency
option in perf report to get the same result but ordered by
latency.

$ perf report --latency -s comm

perf report:

- As a side effect of the latency profiling work, it adds a new
output field 'latency' and a sort key 'parallelism'. The below is a
result from my system with 64 CPUs. The build was well-parallelized
but contained some serial portions.

$ perf report -s parallelism
...
#
# Overhead Latency Parallelism
# ........ ........ ...........
#
16.95% 1.54% 62
13.38% 1.24% 61
12.50% 70.47% 1
11.81% 1.06% 63
7.59% 0.71% 60
4.33% 12.20% 2
3.41% 0.33% 59
2.05% 0.18% 64
1.75% 1.09% 9
1.64% 1.85% 5
...

- Support Feodra mini-debuginfo which is a LZMA compressed symbol
table inside ".gnu_debugdata" ELF section.

perf annotate:

- Add --code-with-type option to enable data-type profiling with the
usual annotate output.

Instead of focusing on data structure, it shows code annotation
together with data type it accesses in case the instruction refers
to a memory location (and it was able to resolve the target data
type). Currently it only works with --stdio.

$ perf annotate --stdio --code-with-type

...

The "# data-type:" part was added with this change. The first few
entries are not very interesting. But later you can it accesses a
couple of fields in the task_struct, files_struct and fdtable.

perf trace:

- Support syscall tracing for different ABI. For example it can trace
system calls for 32-bit applications on 64-bit kernel
transparently.

- Add --summary-mode=total option to show global syscall summary. The
default is 'thread' to show per-thread syscall summary.

Python support:

- Add more interfaces to 'perf' module to parse events, and config,
enable or disable the event list properly so that it can implement
basic functionalities purely in Python. There is an example code
for these new interfaces in python/tracepoint.py.

- Add mypy and pylint support to enable build time checking. Fix some
code based on the findings from these tools.

Internals:

- Introduce io_dir__readdir() API to make directory traveral (usually
for proc or sysfs) efficient with less memory footprint.

JSON vendor events:

- Add events and metrics for ARM Neoverse N3 and V3

- Update events and metrics on various Intel CPUs

- Add/update events for a number of SiFive processors"

Merge branch 'for-6.15/amd_sfh' into for-linus

From: Mario Limonciello <mario.limonciello@amd.com>

Some platforms include a human presence detection (HPD) sensor. When
enabled and a user is detected a wake event will be emitted from the
sensor fusion hub that software can react to.

Example use cases are "wake from suspend on approach" or to "lock
when leaving".

This is currently enabled by default on supported systems, but users
can't control it. This essentially means that wake on approach is
enabled which is a really surprising behavior to users that don't
expect it.

Instead of defaulting to enabled add a sysfs knob that users can
use to enable the feature if desirable and set it to disabled by
default.

Merge tag 'perf-tools-for-v6.14-2025-01-21' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/perf/perf-tools

Pull perf-tools updates from Namhyung Kim:
"There are a lot of changes in the perf tools in this cycle.

build:

- Use generic syscall table to generate syscall numbers on supported
archs

- This also enables to get rid of libaudit which was used for syscall
numbers

- Remove python2 support as it's deprecated for years

- Fix issues on static build with libzstd

perf record:

- Intel-PT supports "aux-action" config term to pause or resume
tracing in the aux-buffer. Users can start the intel_pt event as
"started-paused" and configure other events to control the Intel-PT
tracing:

# perf record --kcore -e intel_pt/aux-action=start-paused/ \
-e syscalls:sys_enter_newuname/aux-action=resume/ \
-e syscalls:sys_exit_newuname/aux-action=pause/ -- uname

This requires kernel support (which was added in v6.13)

perf lock:

- 'perf lock contention' command has an ability to symbolize locks in
dynamically allocated objects using slab cache name when it runs
with BPF. Those dynamic locks would have "&" prefix in the name to
distinguish them from ordinary (static) locks

# perf lock con -abl -E 5 sleep 1
contended total wait max wait avg wait address symbol

2 1.95 us 1.77 us 975 ns ffff9d5e852d3498 &task_struct (mutex)
1 1.18 us 1.18 us 1.18 us ffff9d5e852d3538 &task_struct (mutex)
4 1.12 us 354 ns 279 ns ffff9d5e841ca800 &kmalloc-cg-512 (mutex)
2 859 ns 617 ns 429 ns ffffffffa41c3620 delayed_uprobe_lock (mutex)
3 691 ns 388 ns 230 ns ffffffffa41c0940 pack_mutex (mutex)

This also requires kernel/BPF support (which was added in v6.13)

perf ftrace:

- 'perf ftrace latency' command gets a couple of options to support
linear buckets instead of exponential. Also it's possible to
specify max and min latency for the linear buckets:

# perf ftrace latency -abn -T switch_mm_irqs_off --bucket-range=100 \
--min-latency=200 --max-latency=800 -- sleep 1
# DURATION | COUNT | GRAPH |
0 - 200 ns | 186 | ### |
200 - 300 ns | 256 | ##### |
300 - 400 ns | 364 | ####### |
400 - 500 ns | 223 | #### |
500 - 600 ns | 111 | ## |
600 - 700 ns | 41 | |
700 - 800 ns | 141 | ## |
800 - ... ns | 169 | ### |

# statistics (in nsec)
total time: 2162212
avg time: 967
max time: 16817
min time: 132
count: 2236

- As you can see in the above example, it nows shows the statistics
at the end so that users can see the avg/max/min latencies easily

- 'perf ftrace profile' command has --graph-opts option like 'perf
ftrace trace' so that it can control the tracing behaviors in the
same way. For example, it can limit the function call depth or
threshold

perf script:

- Improve physical memory resolution in 'mem-phys-addr' script by
parsing /proc/iomem file

# perf script mem-phys-addr -- find /
...
Event: mem_inst_retired.all_loads:P
Memory type count percentage
---------------------------------------- ---------- ----------
100000000-85f7fffff : System RAM 8929 69.7

100000-89c01fff : System RAM 18 0.1
8a22c000-8df6efff : System RAM 5 0.0

Others:

- 'perf test' gets --runs-per-test option to run the test cases
repeatedly. This would be helpful to see if it's flaky

- Add 'parse_events' method to Python perf extension module, so that
users can use the same event parsing logic in the python code. One
more step towards implementing perf tools in Python. :)

- Support opening tracepoint events without libtraceevent. This will
be helpful if it won't use the tracing data like in 'perf stat'

- Update ARM Neoverse N2/V2 JSON events and metrics"
