Merge tag 'perf-tools-for-v6.17-2025-08-01' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/perf/perf-tools

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. Unit: drm_i915]
drm-active-system0

perf list

* Add description for software events. The description is in JSON format
and the event parser now can handle the software events like others
(for example, it's case-insensitive and subject to wildcard matching).

$ perf list software

List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e or -M):

software:
alignment-faults
[Number of kernel handled memory alignment faults. Unit: software]
bpf-output
[An event used by BPF programs to write to the perf ring buffer. Unit: software]
cgroup-switches
[Number of context switches to a task in a different cgroup. Unit: software]
context-switches
[Number of context switches [This event is an alias of cs]. Unit: software]
cpu-clock
[Per-CPU high-resolution timer based event. Unit: software]
cpu-migrations
[Number of times a process has migrated to a new CPU [This event is an alias of migrations]. Unit: software]
cs
[Number of context switches [This event is an alias of context-switches]. Unit: software]
dummy
[A placeholder event that doesn't count anything. Unit: software]
emulation-faults
[Number of kernel handled unimplemented instruction faults handled through emulation. Unit: software]
faults
[Number of page faults [This event is an alias of page-faults]. Unit: software]
major-faults
[Number of major page faults. Major faults require I/O to handle. Unit: software]
migrations
[Number of times a process has migrated to a new CPU [This event is an alias of cpu-migrations]. Unit: software]
minor-faults
[Number of minor page faults. Minor faults don't require I/O to handle. Unit: software]
page-faults
[Number of page faults [This event is an alias of faults]. Unit: software]
task-clock
[Per-task high-resolution timer based event. Unit: software]

perf ftrace:

* Add -e/--events option to perf ftrace latency to measure latency
between the two events instead of a function.

$ sudo perf ftrace latency -ab -e i915_request_wait_begin,i915_request_wait_end --hide-empty -- sleep 1
# DURATION | COUNT | GRAPH |
256 - 512 us | 4 | ###### |

# statistics (in usec)
total time: 194915
avg time: 6961
max time: 12855
min time: 373
count: 28

* Add new function graph tracer options (--graph-opts) to display more
info like arguments and return value. They will be passed to the
kernel ftrace directly.

$ sudo perf ftrace -G vfs_write --graph-opts retval,retaddr
# tracer: function_graph

# | | | | | | |

5) | mutex_unlock() { /* <-rb_simple_write+0xda/0x150 */

5) 0.845 us | } /* _raw_spin_lock_irqsave ret=0x292 */
...

Misc:

* Add perf archive --exclude-buildids <FILE> option to skip some binaries.
The format of the FILE should be same as an output of perf buildid-list.

* Get rid of dependency of libcrypto. It was just to get SHA-1 hash so
implement it directly like in the kernel. A side effect is that it
needs -fno-strict-aliasing compiler option (again, like in the kernel).

* Convert all shell script tests to use bash"

perf topdown: Use attribute to see an event is a topdown metic or slots

The string comparisons were overly broad and could fire for the
incorrect PMU and events. Switch to using the config in the attribute
then add a perf test to confirm the attribute config values match
those of parsed events of that name and don't match others. This
exposed matches for slots events that shouldn't have matched as the
slots fixed counter event, such as topdown.slots_p.

Avoid using PAGE_SIZE as that define is also in sys/user.h

Make it a variable not to call sysconf() multiple times.

Also cast func to void * when passing it as the first arg to memcpy to
avoid this with some versions of clang:

arch/x86/tests/amd-ibs-period.c:81:3: error: no matching function for call to 'memcpy'
memcpy(func, insn1, sizeof(insn1));
^~~~~~

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"
