The goal is to run scripts directly, not by 'perf script' command. This would give better performance as well as more control to build standalone programs with UI. - Add LiveSession helper (perf_live.py) to enable live event collection directly from Python using perf.evlist and perf.parse_events. perf stat: - Add --hide-zero-events option to suppress zero-count events - Reject conflicting --field-separator and --json-output options - Fix duplicate event output with --for-each-cgroup perf sched latency: - Add -H/--histogram and --hist-mode (log|linear) options to show scheduler wait latency histograms - Add --time option to filter analysis by time span in 'perf sched latency' ARM CoreSight: - Synthesize callchains for instruction samples from CoreSight trace using thread stack ('--itrace=g...') - Support call indentation ('perf script -F +callindent') to display call depth hierarchy on branch samples - Decode ETE (Embedded Trace Extension) exception packets Build system: - Add 'make install-build-deps' target to install required packages - Parallelize JSON and metric pre-computation in jevents.py for faster builds Vendor event/metric updates: - Add Intel Nova Lake events and update tables for existing models - Update AMD Zen 5 and Zen 6 core events - Update Arm64 Tegra410 metrics and PowerPC hcalls Internal changes and fixes: - Harden trace-event and synthetic event parsing against corrupted data - Fix unwinding of multi-threaded processes in libdw unwinder - Fix memory leaks in various commands and python bindings - Speed up 'perf test' shell tests"* tag 'perf-tools-for-v7.3-2026-08-21' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/perf/perf-tools: (232 commits) perf vendor events arm64: Fix Tegra410 Olympus event 0x0197 perf vendor events arm64: fix swapped MetricGroup for Tegra410 L1 prefetcher metrics perf evlist: Warn when 'sleep' workload is used without system-wide (-a) option perf c2c: document function view in perf-c2c man page perf c2c: add function view browser UI and cacheline detail perf c2c: build and finalize the function view hierarchy perf c2c: add function view hierarchy entry creation perf c2c: add function view stats merge and memory management perf c2c: add HPP list parsing for function view columns perf c2c: add column rendering for function view perf c2c: add function view model skeleton perf c2c: extract shared data structures into util/c2c.h perf test sample-parsing: Validate PERF_FORMAT_GROUP values without LOST perf dso: Replace assert with runtime check in dso__read_symbol() perf dso: Guard against cache underflow on short reads in dso_cache__memcpy() perf dso: Use stored fd error instead of stale errno in file_read() and file_size() perf dso: Guard close() against invalid fd in dso__decompress_kmodule_path() perf dso: Guard against errno==0 when dso__get_filename() returns NULL perf build: install-build-deps: add RHEL family devel package mapping perf build: Remove leftover feature tests for removed cxx and clang support ...

509a2b9a6e142697dd5f34cdd802e5b86eababa1 - perf tests: Fix flakiness in trace record and replay test

Tue, 23 Jun 2026 03:27:52 +0200

perf tests: Fix flakiness in trace record and replay testThe `perf trace record and replay` test fails intermittently on slow orvirtualized hosts because the default recording workload (`sleep 1`)occasionally completes without scheduling the target `nanosleep` or`clock_nanosleep` system calls inside the recorded sample window,resulting in the error: `Failed: cannot find *nanosleep syscall`.Generalize the `perf_record_with_retry` helper in`tests/shell/lib/perf_record.sh` to support a custom record command prefixvia the `PERF_RECORD_CMD` environment variable (defaulting to "perfrecord").Update `trace_record_replay.sh` to use this robust retry loop running with`PERF_RECORD_CMD="perf trace record"` and a base workload of `sleep`. Thetest will automatically retry with scaled sleep durations (from 0.01s upto 2.0s) until the required `nanosleep` event is successfully captured.Fixes: 15bcfb96d0dd ("perf test: Add trace record and replay test")Assisted-by: Antigravity:gemini-3.1-proSigned-off-by: Ian Rogers Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim List of files: /linux/tools/perf/tests/shell/lib/perf_record.sh

74dba58222f0d34cf8bd3eba1a6926e9654d4b6b - perf tests: Add robust record retry helper and use subsecond workloads

Tue, 23 Jun 2026 03:27:49 +0200

perf tests: Add robust record retry helper and use subsecond workloadsIntroduce `perf_record_with_retry` and `perf_record_cleanup` in a sharedlibrary `tests/shell/lib/perf_record.sh` to prevent record test failurescaused by transient recording or workload delays.Update `record.sh`, `record_lbr.sh`, `pipe_test.sh`, `kvm.sh`, and`stat_all_pfm.sh` to use this robust record retry logic. These tests nowstart with very short durations (e.g. 0.01 seconds) and scale up if theinitial recording failed to capture samples, significantly improving testexecution speed on success while remaining resilient to slow systems.Assisted-by: Antigravity:gemini-3.1-proSigned-off-by: Ian Rogers Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim List of files: /linux/tools/perf/tests/shell/lib/perf_record.sh
