Merge tag 'perf-tools-for-v6.16-1-2025-06-03' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/perf/perf-tools

Pull perf tools updates from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
"perf report/top/annotate TUI:

- Accept the left arrow key as a Zoom out if done on the first column

- Show if source code toggle status in title, to help spotting bugs
with the various disassemblers (capstone, llvm, objdump)

- Provide feedback on unhandled hotkeys

Build:

- Better inform when certain features are not available with warnings
in the build process and in 'perf version --build-options' or 'perf -vv'

perf record:

- Improve the --off-cpu code by synthesizing events for switch-out ->
switch-in intervals using a BPF program. This can be fine tuned
using a --off-cpu-thresh knob

perf report:

- Add 'tgid' sort key

perf mem/c2c:

- Add 'op', 'cache', 'snoop', 'dtlb' output fields

- Add support for 'ldlat' on AMD IBS (Instruction Based Sampling)

perf ftrace:

- Use process/session specific trace settings instead of messing with
the global ftrace knobs

perf trace:

- Implement syscall summary in BPF

- Support --summary-mode=cgroup

- Always print return value for syscalls returning a pid

- The rseq and set_robust_list don't return a pid, just -errno

perf lock contention:

- Symbolize zone->lock using BTF

- Add -J/--inject-delay option to estimate impact on application
performance by optimization of kernel locking behavior

perf stat:

- Improve hybrid support for the NMI watchdog warning

Symbol resolution:

- Handle 'u' and 'l' symbols in /proc/kallsyms, resolving some Rust
symbols

- Improve Rust demangler

Hardware tracing:

Intel PT:

- Fix PEBS-via-PT data_src

- Do not default to recording all switch events

- Fix pattern matching with python3 on the SQL viewer script

arm64:

- Fixups for the hip08 hha PMU

Vendor events:

- Update Intel events/metrics files for alderlake, alderlaken,
arrowlake, bonnell, broadwell, broadwellde, broadwellx,
cascadelakex, clearwaterforest, elkhartlake, emeraldrapids,
grandridge, graniterapids, haswell, haswellx, icelake, icelakex,
ivybridge, ivytown, jaketown, lunarlake, meteorlake, nehalemep,
nehalemex, rocketlake, sandybridge, sapphirerapids, sierraforest,
skylake, skylakex, snowridgex, tigerlake, westmereep-dp,
westmereep-sp, westmereep-sx

python support:

- Add support for event counts in the python binding, add a
counting.py example

perf list:

- Display the PMU name associated with a perf metric in JSON

perf test:

- Hybrid improvements for metric value validation test

- Fix LBR test by ignoring idle task

- Add AMD IBS sw filter ana d'ldlat' tests

- Add 'perf trace --summary-mode=cgroup' test

- Add tests for the various language symbol demanglers

Miscellaneous:

- Allow specifying the cpu an event will be tied using '-e
event/cpu=N/'

- Sync various headers with the kernel sources

- Add annotations to use clang's -Wthread-safety and fix some
problems it detected

- Make dump_stack() use perf's symbol resolution to provide better
backtraces

- Intel TPEBS support cleanups and fixes. TPEBS stands for Timed PEBS
(Precision Event-Based Sampling), that adds timing info, the
retirement latency of instructions

- Various memory allocation (some detected by ASAN) and reference
counting fixes

- Add a 8-byte aligned PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED2 to replace
PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED

- Skip unsupported event types in perf.data files, don't stop when
finding one

- Improve lookups using hashmaps and binary searches"

perf tests trace_summary.sh: Run in exclusive mode

And it is being successfull only when running alone, probably because
there are some tests that add the vfs_getname probe that gets used by
'perf trace' and alter how it does syscall arg pathname resolution.

This should be removed or made a fallback to the preferred BPF mode of
getting syscall parameters, but till then, run this in exclusive mode.

For reference, here are some of the tests that run close to this one:

127: perf record offcpu profiling tests : Ok
128: perf all PMU test : Ok
129: perf stat --bpf-counters test : Ok
130: Check Arm CoreSight trace data recording and synthesized samples: Skip
131: Check Arm CoreSight disassembly script completes without errors : Skip
132: Check Arm SPE trace data recording and synthesized samples : Skip
133: Test data symbol : Ok
134: Miscellaneous Intel PT testing : Skip
135: test Intel TPEBS counting mode : Skip
136: perf script task-analyzer tests : Ok
137: Check open filename arg using perf trace + vfs_getname : Ok
138: perf trace summary : Ok
