Merge tag 'kvmarm-fixes-6.12-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvmarm/kvmarm into HEAD
KVM/arm64 fixes for 6.12, take #1
- Fix pKVM error path on init, making sure we do not change critical
system registers as we're about to fail
- Make sure that the host's vector length is at capped by a value
common to all CPUs
- Fix kvm_has_feat*() handling of "negative" features, as the current
code is pretty broken
- Promote Joey to the status of official reviewer, while James steps
down -- hopefully only temporarly
show more ...

Merge tag 'perf-tools-for-v6.12-1-2024-09-19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/perf/perf-tools
Pull perf tools updates from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
- Use BPF + BTF to collect and pretty print syscall and tracepoint
arguments in 'perf trace', done as an GSoC activity
- Data-type profiling improvements:
- Cache debuginfo to speed up data type resolution
- Add the 'typecln' sort order, to show which cacheline in a target
is hot or cold. The following shows members in the cfs_rq's first
cache line:
$ perf report -s type,typecln,typeoff -H
...
- 2.67% struct cfs_rq
+ 1.23% struct cfs_rq: cache-line 2
+ 0.57% struct cfs_rq: cache-line 4
+ 0.46% struct cfs_rq: cache-line 6
- 0.41% struct cfs_rq: cache-line 0
0.39% struct cfs_rq +0x14 (h_nr_running)
0.02% struct cfs_rq +0x38 (tasks_timeline.rb_leftmost)
- When a typedef resolves to a unnamed struct, use the typedef name
- When a struct has just one basic type field (int, etc), resolve
the type sort order to the name of the struct, not the type of
the field
- Support type folding/unfolding in the data-type annotation TUI
- Fix bitfields offsets and sizes
- Initial support for PowerPC, using libcapstone and the usual
objdump disassembly parsing routines
- Add support for disassembling and addr2line using the LLVM libraries,
speeding up those operations
- Support --addr2line option in 'perf script' as with other tools
- Intel branch counters (LBR event logging) support, only available in
recent Intel processors, for instance, the new "brcntr" field can be
asked from 'perf script' to print the information collected from this
feature:
$ perf script -F +brstackinsn,+brcntr
# Branch counter abbr list:
# branch-instructions:ppp = A
# branch-misses = B
# '-' No event occurs
# '+' Event occurrences may be lost due to branch counter saturated

- Support Timed PEBS (Precise Event-Based Sampling), a recent hardware
feature in Intel processors
- Add 'perf ftrace profile' subcommand, using ftrace's function-graph
tracer so that users can see the total, average, max execution time
as well as the number of invocations easily, for instance:
$ sudo perf ftrace profile -G __x64_sys_perf_event_open -- \
perf stat -e cycles -C1 true 2> /dev/null | head
# Total (us) Avg (us) Max (us) Count Function

15.686 15.686 15.686 1 perf_event_alloc
14.012 7.006 11.264 2 obj_cgroup_charge
- 'perf sched timehist' improvements, including the addition of
priority showing/filtering command line options
- Varios improvements to the 'perf probe', including 'perf test'
regression testings
- Introduce the 'perf check', initially to check if some feature is
in place, using it in 'perf test'
- Various fixes for 32-bit systems
- Address more leak sanitizer failures
- Fix memory leaks (LBR, disasm lock ops, etc)
- More reference counting fixes (branch_info, etc)
- Constify 'struct perf_tool' parameters to improve code generation
and reduce the chances of having its internals changed, which isn't
expected
- More constifications in various other places
- Add more build tests, including for JEVENTS
- Add more 'perf test' entries ('perf record LBR', pipe/inject,
--setup-filter, 'perf ftrace', 'cgroup sampling', etc)
- Inject build ids for all entries in a call chain in 'perf inject',
not just for the main sample
- Improve the BPF based sample filter, allowing root to setup filters
in bpffs that then can be used by non-root users
- Allow filtering by cgroups with the BPF based sample filter
- Allow a more compact way for 'perf mem report' using the
-T/--type-profile and also provide a --sort option similar to the one
in 'perf report', 'perf top', to setup the sort order manually
- Fix --group behavior in 'perf annotate' when leader has no samples,
where it was not showing anything even when other events in the group
had samples
- Fix spinlock and rwlock accounting in 'perf lock contention'
- Fix libsubcmd fixdep Makefile dependencies
- Improve 'perf ftrace' error message when ftrace isn't available
- Update various Intel JSON vendor event files
- ARM64 CoreSight hardware tracing infrastructure improvements, mostly
not visible to users
- Update power10 JSON events
