Merge tag 'perf-tools-for-v7.1-2026-04-17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/perf/perf-toolsPull perf tools updates from Namhyung Kim: "perf report: - Add 'comm_nodigit' sort key to combine similar threads that only have different numbers in the comm. In the following example, the 'comm_nodigit' will have samples from all threads starting with "bpfrb/" into an entry "bpfrb/". $ perf report -s comm_nodigit,comm -H ... # # Overhead CommandNoDigit / Command # ........... ........................ # 20.30% swapper 20.30% swapper 13.37% chrome 13.37% chrome 10.07% bpfrb/ 7.47% bpfrb/0 0.70% bpfrb/1 0.47% bpfrb/3 0.46% bpfrb/2 0.25% bpfrb/4 0.23% bpfrb/5 0.20% bpfrb/6 0.14% bpfrb/10 0.07% bpfrb/7 - Support flat layout for symfs. The --symfs option is to specify the location of debugging symbol files. The default 'hierarchy' layout would search the symbol file using the same path of the original file under the symfs root. The new 'flat' layout would search only in the root directory. - Update 'simd' sort key for ARM SIMD flags to cover ASE/SME and more predicate flags. perf stat: - Add --pmu-filter option to select specific PMUs.

Merge tag 'perf-tools-for-v6.19-2025-12-06' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/perf/perf-toolsPull perf tools updates from Namhyung Kim: "Perf event/metric description: Unify all event and metric descriptions in JSON format. Now event parsing and handling is greatly simplified by that. From users point of view, perf list will provide richer information about hardware events like the following. $ perf list hw List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e or -M): legacy hardware: branch-instructions [Retired branch instructions [This event is an alias of branches]. Unit: cpu] branch-misses [Mispredicted branch instructions. Unit: cpu] branches [Retired branch instructions [This event is an alias of branch-instructions]. Unit: cpu] bus-cycles [Bus cycles,which can be different from total cycles. Unit: cpu] cache-misses [Cache misses. Usually this indicates Last Level Cache misses; this is intended to be used in conjunction with the PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_REFERENCES event to calculate cache miss rates. Unit: cpu] cache-references [Cache accesses. Usually this indicates Last Level Cache accesses but this may vary depending on your CPU. This may include prefetches and coherency messages; again this depends on the design of your CPU. Unit: cpu] cpu-cycles [Total cycles. Be wary of what happens during CPU frequency scaling [This event is an alias of cycles]. Unit: cpu] cycles [Total cycles. Be wary of what happens during CPU frequency scaling [This event is an alias of cpu-cycles]. Unit: cpu] instructions [Retired instructions. Be careful,these can be affected by various issues,most notably hardware interrupt counts. Unit: cpu] ref-cycles [Total cycles; not affected by CPU frequency scaling. Unit: cpu] But most notable changes would be in the perf stat. On the right side, the default metrics are better named and aligned. :) $ perf stat -- perf test -w noploop Performance counter stats for 'perf test -w noploop': 11 context-switches # 10.8 cs/sec cs_per_second 0 cpu-migrations # 0.0 migrations/sec migrations_per_second 3,612 page-faults # 3532.5 faults/sec page_faults_per_second 1,022.51 msec task-clock # 1.0 CPUs CPUs_utilized 110,466 branch-misses # 0.0 % branch_miss_rate (88.66%) 6,934,452,104 branches # 6781.8 M/sec branch_frequency (88.66%) 4,657,032,590 cpu-cycles # 4.6 GHz cycles_frequency (88.65%) 27,755,874,218 instructions # 6.0 instructions insn_per_cycle (89.03%) TopdownL1 # 0.3 % tma_backend_bound # 9.3 % tma_bad_speculation (89.05%) # 9.7 % tma_frontend_bound (77.86%) # 80.7 % tma_retiring (88.81%) 1.025318171 seconds time elapsed 1.013248000 seconds user 0.012014000 seconds sys Deferred unwinding support: With the kernel support (commit c69993ecdd4d: "perf: Support deferred user unwind"), perf can use deferred callchains for userspace stack trace with frame pointers like below: $ perf record --call-graph fp,defer ... This will be transparent to users when it comes to other commands like perf report and perf script. They will merge the deferred callchains to the previous samples as if they were collected together. ARM SPE updates - Extensive enhancements to support various kinds of memory operations including GCS, MTE allocation tags, memcpy/memset, register access, and SIMD operations. - Add inverted data source filter (inv_data_src_filter) support to exclude certain data sources. - Improve documentation. Vendor event updates: - Intel: Updated event files for Sierra Forest, Panther Lake, Meteor Lake, Lunar Lake, Granite Rapids, and others. - Arm64: Added metrics for i.MX94 DDR PMU and Cortex-A720AE definitions. - RISC-V: Added JSON support for T-HEAD C920V2. Misc: - Improve pointer tracking in data type profiling. It'd give better output when the variable is using container_of() to convert type. - Annotation support for perf c2c report in TUI. Press 'a' key to enter annotation view from cacheline browser window. This will show which instruction is causing the cacheline contention. - Lots of fixes and test coverage improvements!"* tag 'perf-tools-for-v6.19-2025-12-06' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/perf/perf-tools: (214 commits) libperf: Use 'extern' in LIBPERF_API visibility macro perf stat: Improve handling of termination by signal perf tests stat: Add test for error for an offline CPU perf stat: When no events, don't report an error if there is none perf tests stat: Add "--null" coverage perf cpumap: Add "any" CPU handling to cpu_map__snprint_mask libperf cpumap: Fix perf_cpu_map__max for an empty/NULL map perf stat: Allow no events to open if this is a "--null" run perf test kvm: Add some basic perf kvm test coverage perf tests evlist: Add basic evlist test perf tests script dlfilter: Add a dlfilter test perf tests kallsyms: Add basic kallsyms test perf tests timechart: Add a perf timechart test perf tests top: Add basic perf top coverage test perf tests buildid: Add purge and remove testing perf tests c2c: Add a basic c2c perf c2c: Clean up some defensive gets and make asan clean perf jitdump: Fix missed dso__put perf mem-events: Don't leak online CPU map perf hist: In init, ensure mem_info is put on error paths ...
