2025-07-25perf session: Add host_env argument to perf_session__newIan Rogers
When creating a perf_session the host perf_env may or may not want to be used. For example, `perf top` uses a host perf_env while `perf inject` does not. Add a host_env argument to perf_session__new so that sessions requiring a host perf_env can pass it in. Currently if none is specified the global perf_env variable is used, but this will change in later patches.

2025-07-25perf test: Avoid use perf_envIan Rogers
The perf_env global variable holds the host perf_env data but its use is hit and miss. Switch to using local perf_env variables and ensure scoped perf_env__init and perf_env__exit. This loses command line setting of the perf_env, but this doesn't matter for tests. So the perf_env is fully initialized, clear it with memset in perf_env__init.

2025-07-25perf record: Make --buildid-mmap the defaultIan Rogers
Support for build IDs in mmap2 perf events has been present since Linux v5.12: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210219194619.1780437-1-acme@kernel.org/ Build ID mmap events don't avoid the need to inject build IDs for DSO touched by samples as the build ID cache is populated by perf record. They can avoid some cases of symbol mis-resolution caused by the file system changing from when a sample occurred and when the DSO is sought. Unlike the --buildid-mmap option, this chnage doesn't disable the build ID cache but it does disable the processing of samples looking for DSOs to inject build IDs for. To disable the build ID cache the -B (--no-buildid) option should be used. Making this option the default was raised on the list in: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-perf-users/CAP-5=fXP7jN_QrGUcd55_QH5J-Y-FCaJ6=NaHVtyx0oyNh8_-Q@mail.gmail.com/ Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250724163302.596743-9-irogers@google.com Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org>

2025-07-25perf dso: Move build_id to dso_idIan Rogers
The dso_id previously contained the major, minor, inode and inode generation information from a mmap2 event - the inode generation would be zero when reading from /proc/pid/maps. The build_id was in the dso. With build ID mmap2 events these fields wouldn't be initialized which would largely mean the special empty case where any dso would match for equality. This isn't desirable as if a dso is replaced we want the comparison to yield a difference. To support detecting the difference between DSOs based on build_id, move the build_id out of the DSO and into the dso_id. The dso_id is also stored in the DSO so nothing is lost. Capture in the dso_id what parts have been initialized and rename dso_id__inject to dso_id__improve_id so that it is clear the dso_id is being improved upon with additional information. With the build_id in the dso_id, use memcmp to compare for equality.

2025-07-24tools/testing/selftests: add mremap() shrink test for multiple VMAsLorenzo Stoakes
Patch series "tools/testing: expand mremap testing". Expand our mremap() testing to further assert that behaviour is as expected. There is a poorly documented mremap() feature whereby it is possible to mremap() multiple VMAs (even with gaps) when shrinking, as long as the resultant shrunk range spans only a single VMA. So we start by asserting this behaviour functions correctly both with an in-place shrink and a shrink/move. Next, we further test the newly introduced ability to mremap() multiple VMAs when performing a MAP_FIXED move (that is without the size being changed), firstly by asserting that MREMAP_DONTUNMAP has no bearing on this behaviour. Finally, we explicitly test that such moves, when splitting source VMAs, function correctly. This patch (of 3): There is an apparently little-known feature of mremap() whereby, in stark contrast to other modes (other than the recently introduced capacity to move multiple VMAs), the input source range span multiple VMAs with gaps between. This is, when shrinking a VMA, whether moving it or not, and the shrink would reduce the range to a single VMA - this is permitted, as the shrink is actioned by an unmap. This patch adds tests to assert that this behaves as expected.

Patch series "selftests/mm: reuse FORCE_READ to replace "asm volatile("" : "+r" (XXX));" and some cleanup", v2. This series introduces a common FORCE_READ() macro to replace the cryptic asm volatile("" : "+r" (variable)); construct used in several mm selftests. This improves code readability and maintainability by removing duplicated, hard-to-understand code. This patch (of 2): Several mm selftests use the `asm volatile("" : "+r" (variable));` construct to force a read of a variable, preventing the compiler from optimizing away the memory access. This idiom is cryptic and duplicated across multiple test files.

2025-07-24selftests/proc: add /proc/pid/maps tearing from vma split testSuren Baghdasaryan
Patch series "use per-vma locks for /proc/pid/maps reads", v8. Reading /proc/pid/maps requires read-locking mmap_lock which prevents any other task from concurrently modifying the address space. This guarantees coherent reporting of virtual address ranges, however it can block important updates from happening. Oftentimes /proc/pid/maps readers are low priority monitoring tasks and them blocking high priority tasks results in priority inversion. Locking the entire address space is required to present fully coherent picture of the address space, however even current implementation does not strictly guarantee that by outputting vmas in page-size chunks and dropping mmap_lock in between each chunk. Address space modifications are possible while mmap_lock is dropped and userspace reading the content is expected to deal with possible concurrent address space modifications. Considering these relaxed rules, holding mmap_lock is not strictly needed as long as we can guarantee that a concurrently modified vma is reported either in its original form or after it was modified. This patchset switches from holding mmap_lock while reading /proc/pid/maps to taking per-vma locks as we walk the vma tree. This reduces the contention with tasks modifying the address space because they would have to contend for the same vma as opposed to the entire address space. Previous version of this patchset [1] tried to perform /proc/pid/maps reading under RCU, however its implementation is quite complex and the results are worse than the new version because it still relied on mmap_lock speculation which retries if any part of the address space gets modified. New implementaion is both simpler and results in less contention. Note that similar approach would not work for /proc/pid/smaps reading as it also walks the page table and that's not RCU-safe. Paul McKenney's designed a test [2] to measure mmap/munmap latencies while concurrently reading /proc/pid/maps. The test has a pair of processes scanning /proc/PID/maps, and another process unmapping and remapping 4K pages from a 128MB range of anonymous memory. At the end of each 10 second run, the latency of each mmap() or munmap() operation is measured, and for each run the maximum and mean latency is printed. The map/unmap process is started first, its PID is passed to the scanners, and then the map/unmap process waits until both scanners are running before starting its timed test. The scanners keep scanning until the specified /proc/PID/maps file disappears. The latest results from Paul: Stock mm-unstable, all of the runs had maximum latencies in excess of 0.5 milliseconds, and with 80% of the runs' latencies exceeding a full millisecond, and ranging up beyond 4 full milliseconds. In contrast, 99% of the runs with this patch series applied had maximum latencies of less than 0.5 milliseconds, with the single outlier at only 0.608 milliseconds. From a median-performance (as opposed to maximum-latency) viewpoint, this patch series also looks good, with stock mm weighing in at 11 microseconds and patch series at 6 microseconds, better than a 2x improvement.

They are designed to detect any unexpected data tearing while performing some common address space modifications (vma split, resize and remap). Even before these changes, reading /proc/pid/maps might have inconsistent data because the file is read page-by-page with mmap_lock being dropped between the pages. An example of user-visible inconsistency can be that the same vma is printed twice: once before it was modified and then after the modifications. For example if vma was extended, it might be found and reported twice. What is not expected is to see a gap where there should have been a vma both before and after modification. This patchset increases the chances of such tearing, therefore it's even more important now to test for unexpected inconsistencies. In [3] Lorenzo identified the following possible vma merging/splitting scenarios: Merges with changes to existing vmas: 1 Merge both - mapping a vma over another one and between two vmas which can be merged after this replacement; 2. Merge left full - mapping a vma at the end of an existing one and completely over its right neighbor; 3. Merge left partial - mapping a vma at the end of an existing one and partially over its right neighbor; 4. Merge right full - mapping a vma before the start of an existing one and completely over its left neighbor; 5. Merge right partial - mapping a vma before the start of an existing one and partially over its left neighbor; Merges without changes to existing vmas: 6. Merge both - mapping a vma into a gap between two vmas which can be merged after the insertion; 7. Merge left - mapping a vma at the end of an existing one; 8. Merge right - mapping a vma before the start end of an existing one; Splits 9. Split with new vma at the lower address; 10. Split with new vma at the higher address; If such merges or splits happen concurrently with the /proc/maps reading we might report a vma twice, once before the modification and once after it is modified: Case 1 might report overwritten and previous vma along with the final merged vma; Case 2 might report previous and the final merged vma; Case 3 might cause us to retry once we detect the temporary gap caused by shrinking of the right neighbor; Case 4 might report overritten and the final merged vma; Case 5 might cause us to retry once we detect the temporary gap caused by shrinking of the left neighbor; Case 6 might report previous vma and the gap along with the final marged vma; Case 7 might report previous and the final merged vma; Case 8 might report the original gap and the final merged vma covering the gap; Case 9 might cause us to retry once we detect the temporary gap caused by shrinking of the original vma at the vma start; Case 10 might cause us to retry once we detect the temporary gap caused by shrinking of the original vma at the vma end; In all these cases the retry mechanism prevents us from reporting possible temporary gaps.

This can lead to inconsistent reads if the underlying vmas are concurrently modified. For instance, if a vma split or merge occurs at a page boundary while /proc/pid/maps is being read, the same vma might be seen twice: once before and once after the change. This duplication is considered acceptable for userspace handling. However, observing a "hole" where a vma should be (e.g., due to a vma being replaced and the space temporarily being empty) is unacceptable. Implement a test that: 1. Forks a child process which continuously modifies its address space, specifically targeting a vma at the boundary between two pages. 2. The parent process repeatedly reads the child's /proc/pid/maps. 3. The parent process checks the last vma of the first page and the first vma of the second page for consistency, looking for the effects of vma splits or merges. The test duration is configurable via DURATION environment variable expressed in seconds. The default test duration is 5 seconds.

The non-tunneled tso6 test case was showing up as: ok 8 tso.ipv4 This is because of the way test_builder() uses the inner_ipver arg in test naming, and how test_info is iterated over in main(). Given that some tunnels not supported yet, e.g. ipip or sit, only support ipv4 or ipv6 as the inner network protocol, I think the best fix here is to call test_builder() in separate branches for tunneled and non-tunneled tests, and to make supported inner l3 types an explicit attribute of tunnel test cases. # Detected qstat for LSO wire-packets TAP version 13 1..14 ok 1 tso.ipv4 # Testing with mangleid enabled ok 2 tso.vxlan4_ipv4 ok 3 tso.vxlan4_ipv6 # Testing with mangleid enabled ok 4 tso.vxlan_csum4_ipv4 ok 5 tso.vxlan_csum4_ipv6 # Testing with mangleid enabled ok 6 tso.gre4_ipv4 ok 7 tso.gre4_ipv6 ok 8 tso.ipv6 # Testing with mangleid enabled ok 9 tso.vxlan6_ipv4 ok 10 tso.vxlan6_ipv6 # Testing with mangleid enabled ok 11 tso.vxlan_csum6_ipv4 ok 12 tso.vxlan_csum6_ipv6 # Testing with mangleid enabled ok 13 tso.gre6_ipv4 ok 14 tso.gre6_ipv6 # Totals: pass:14 fail:0 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:0 error:0 Fixes: 0d0f4174f6c8 ("selftests: drv-net: add a simple TSO test") Signed-off-by: Daniel Zahka <daniel.zahka@gmail.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250723184740.4075410-4-daniel.zahka@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>

Instead, we can enumerate the set of toggleable features by capturing the driver's hw_features bitmap.

2025-07-24tools: ynl-gen: print setters for multi-val attrsJakub Kicinski
For basic types we "flatten" setters. If a request "a" has a simple nest "b" with value "val" we print helpers like: req_set_a_b(struct a *req, int val) { req->_present.a = 1; req->b._present.val = 1; req->b.val = ... } This is not possible for multi-attr because they have to be allocated dynamically by the user. Print "object level" setters so that user preparing the object doesn't have to futz with the presence bits and other YNL internals. Add the ability to pass in the variable name to generated setters. Using "req" here doesn't feel right, while the attr is part of a request it's not the request itself, so it seems cleaner to call it "obj".

2025-07-24selftests/pidfd: Fix duplicate-symbol warnings for SCHED_ CPP symbolsPaul E. McKenney
The pidfd selftests run in userspace and include both userspace and kernel header files. On some distros (for example, CentOS), this results in duplicate-symbol warnings in allmodconfig builds, while on other distros (for example, Ubuntu) it does not. Therefore, use #undef to get rid of the userspace definitions in favor of the kernel definitions. Other ways of handling this include splitting up the selftest code so that the userspace definitions go into one translation unit and the kernel definitions into another (which might or might not be feasible) or to adjust compiler command-line options to suppress the warnings (which might or might not be desirable).

2025-07-24selftests/tracing: Fix false failure of subsystem event testSteven Rostedt
The subsystem event test enables all "sched" events and makes sure there's at least 3 different events in the output. It used to cat the entire trace file to | wc -l, but on slow machines, that could last a very long time. To solve that, it was changed to just read the first 100 lines of the trace file. This can cause false failures as some events repeat so often, that the 100 lines that are examined could possibly be of only one event. Instead, create an awk script that looks for 3 different events and will exit out after it finds them. This will find the 3 events the test looks for (eventually if it works), and still exit out after the test is satisfied and not cause slower machines to run forever.

2025-07-24perf parse-events: Support user CPUs mixed with threads/processesIan Rogers
Counting events system-wide with a specified CPU prior to this change worked: ``` $ perf stat -e 'msr/tsc/,msr/tsc,cpu=cpu_core/,msr/tsc,cpu=cpu_atom/' -a sleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'system wide': 59,393,419,099 msr/tsc/ 33,927,965,927 msr/tsc,cpu=cpu_core/ 25,465,608,044 msr/tsc,cpu=cpu_atom/ ``` However, when counting with process the counts became system wide: ``` $ perf stat -e 'msr/tsc/,msr/tsc,cpu=cpu_core/,msr/tsc,cpu=cpu_atom/' perf test -F 10 10.1: Basic parsing test : Ok 10.2: Parsing without PMU name : Ok 10.3: Parsing with PMU name : Ok Performance counter stats for 'perf test -F 10': 59,233,549 msr/tsc/ 59,227,556 msr/tsc,cpu=cpu_core/ 59,224,053 msr/tsc,cpu=cpu_atom/ ``` Make the handling of CPU maps with event parsing clearer. When an event is parsed creating an evsel the cpus should be either the PMU's cpumask or user specified CPUs. Update perf_evlist__propagate_maps so that it doesn't clobber the user specified CPUs. Try to make the behavior clearer, firstly fix up missing cpumasks. Next, perform sanity checks and adjustments from the global evlist CPU requests and for the PMU including simplifying to the "any CPU"(-1) value. Finally remove the event if the cpumask is empty. So that events are opened with a CPU and a thread change stat's create_perf_stat_counter to give both. With the change things are fixed: ``` $ perf stat --no-scale -e 'msr/tsc/,msr/tsc,cpu=cpu_core/,msr/tsc,cpu=cpu_atom/' perf test -F 10 10.1: Basic parsing test : Ok 10.2: Parsing without PMU name : Ok 10.3: Parsing with PMU name : Ok Performance counter stats for 'perf test -F 10': 63,704,975 msr/tsc/ 47,060,704 msr/tsc,cpu=cpu_core/ (4.62%) 16,640,591 msr/tsc,cpu=cpu_atom/ (2.18%) ``` However, note the "--no-scale" option is used. This is necessary as the running time for the event on the counter isn't the same as the enabled time because the thread doesn't necessarily run on the CPUs specified for the counter. All counter values are scaled with: scaled_value = value * time_enabled / time_running and so without --no-scale the scaled_value becomes very large. This problem already exists on hybrid systems for the same reason. Here are 2 runs of the same code with an instructions event that counts the same on both types of core, there is no real multiplexing happening on the event: ``` $ perf stat -e instructions perf test -F 10 ... Performance counter stats for 'perf test -F 10': 87,896,447 cpu_atom/instructions/ (14.37%) 98,171,964 cpu_core/instructions/ (85.63%) ... $ perf stat --no-scale -e instructions perf test -F 10 ... Performance counter stats for 'perf test -F 10': 13,069,890 cpu_atom/instructions/ (19.32%) 83,460,274 cpu_core/instructions/ (80.68%) ... ``` The scaling has inflated per-PMU instruction counts and the overall count by 2x. To fix this the kernel needs changing when a task+CPU event (or just task event on hybrid) is scheduled out. A fix could be that the state isn't inactive but off for such events, so that time_enabled counts don't accumulate on them.

Change the implementation of evsel__open_per_cpu and evsel__open_per_thread to use evsel__open_per_cpu_and_thread to make the implementation of those functions clearer.

2025-07-24perf parse-events: Minor __add_event refactoringIan Rogers
Rename cpu_list to user_cpus. If a PMU isn't given, find it early from the perf_event_attr. Make the pmu_cpus more explicitly a copy from the PMU (except when user_cpus are given). Derive the cpus from pmu_cpus and user_cpus as appropriate. Handle strdup errors on name and metric_id.
