Motivation & background: | Since commit | | c88d71508e36 ("x86/boot/64: Rewrite startup_64() in C") | | dated Jun 6 2017, we have been using C code on the boot path in a way | that is not supported by the toolchain, i.e., to execute non-PIC C | code from a mapping of memory that is different from the one provided | to the linker. It should have been obvious at the time that this was a | bad idea, given the need to sprinkle fixup_pointer() calls left and | right to manipulate global variables (including non-pointer variables) | without crashing. | | This C startup code has been expanding, and in particular, the SEV-SNP | startup code has been expanding over the past couple of years, and | grown many of these warts, where the C code needs to use special | annotations or helpers to access global objects.

2025-05-03tools/perf: Allow to select the number of hash bucketsSebastian Andrzej Siewior
Add the -b/ --buckets argument to specify the number of hash buckets for the private futex hash. This is directly passed to prctl(PR_FUTEX_HASH, PR_FUTEX_HASH_SET_SLOTS, buckets, immutable) and must return without an error if specified. The `immutable' is 0 by default and can be set to 1 via the -I/ --immutable argument. The size of the private hash is verified with PR_FUTEX_HASH_GET_SLOTS. If PR_FUTEX_HASH_GET_SLOTS failed then it is assumed that an older kernel was used without the support and that the global hash is used.

2025-04-29perf tools: Fix in-source libperf buildJames Clark
When libperf is built alone in-source, $(OUTPUT) isn't set. This causes the generated uapi path to resolve to '/../arch' which results in a permissions error: mkdir: cannot create directory '/../arch': Permission denied Fix it by removing the preceding '/..' which means that it gets generated either in the tools/lib/perf part of the tree or the OUTPUT folder. Some other rules that rely on OUTPUT further refine this conditionally depending on whether it's an in-source or out-of-source build, but I don't think we need the extra complexity here. And this rule is slightly different to others because the header is needed by both libperf and Perf. This is further complicated by the fact that Perf always passes O=... to libperf even for in source builds, meaning that OUTPUT isn't set consistently between projects. Because we're no longer going one level up to try to generate the file in the tools/ folder, Perf's include rule needs to descend into libperf. Also fix the clean rule while we're here.

2025-04-23perf tools: Fix arm64 build by generating unistd_64.hJames Clark
Since pulling in the kernel changes in commit 22f72088ffe6 ("tools headers: Update the syscall table with the kernel sources"), arm64 is no longer using a generic syscall header and generates one from the syscall table. Therefore we must also generate the syscall header for arm64 before building Perf. Add it as a dependency to libperf which uses one syscall number. Perf uses more, but as libperf is a dependency of Perf it will be generated for both. Future platforms that need this will have to add their own syscall-y targets in libperf manually. Unfortunately the arch specific files that do this (e.g. arch/arm64/include/asm/Kbuild) can't easily be imported into the Perf build. But Perf only needs a subset of the generated files anyway, so redefining them is probably the correct thing to do.

2025-04-11perf tools: Remove evsel__handle_error_quirks()Namhyung Kim
The evsel__handle_error_quirks() is to fixup invalid event attributes on some architecture based on the error code. Currently it's only used for AMD to disable precise_ip not to use IBS which has more restrictions. But the commit c33aea446bf555ab changed call evsel__precise_ip_fallback for any errors so there's no difference with the above function. To make matter worse, it caused a problem with branch stack on Zen3. The IBS doesn't support branch stack so it should use a regular core PMU event. The default event is set precise_max and it starts with 3. And evsel__precise_ip_fallback() tries with it and reduces the level one by one. At last it tries with 0 but it also failed on Zen3 since the branch stack is not supported for the cycles event. At this point, evsel__precise_ip_fallback() restores the original precise_ip value (3) in the hope that it can succeed with other modifier (like exclude_kernel). Then evsel__handle_error_quirks() see it has precise_ip != 0 and make it retry with 0. This created an infinite loop. Before: $ perf record -b -vv |& grep removing removing precise_ip on AMD removing precise_ip on AMD removing precise_ip on AMD removing precise_ip on AMD removing precise_ip on AMD removing precise_ip on AMD removing precise_ip on AMD removing precise_ip on AMD removing precise_ip on AMD removing precise_ip on AMD removing precise_ip on AMD removing precise_ip on AMD ... After: $ perf record -b true Error: Failure to open event 'cycles:P' on PMU 'cpu' which will be removed. Invalid event (cycles:P) in per-thread mode, enable system wide with '-a'.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/perf/perf-tools Pull perf tools updates from Namhyung Kim: "perf record: - Introduce latency profiling using scheduler information. The latency profiling is to show impacts on wall-time rather than cpu-time. By tracking context switches, it can weight samples and find which part of the code contributed more to the execution latency. The value (period) of the sample is weighted by dividing it by the number of parallel execution at the moment. The parallelism is tracked in perf report with sched-switch records. This will reduce the portion that are run in parallel and in turn increase the portion of serial executions. For now, it's limited to profile processes, IOW system-wide profiling is not supported. You can add --latency option to enable this. $ perf record --latency -- make -C tools/perf I've run the above command for perf build which adds -j option to make with the number of CPUs in the system internally. Normally it'd show something like below: $ perf report -F overhead,comm ... # # Overhead Command # ........ ............... # 78.97% cc1 6.54% python3 4.21% shellcheck 3.28% ld 1.80% as 1.37% cc1plus 0.80% sh 0.62% clang 0.56% gcc 0.44% perl 0.39% make ... The cc1 takes around 80% of the overhead as it's the actual compiler. However it runs in parallel so its contribution to latency may be less than that. Now, perf report will show both overhead and latency (if --latency was given at record time) like below: $ perf report -s comm ... # # Overhead Latency Command # ........ ........ ............... # 78.97% 48.66% cc1 6.54% 25.68% python3 4.21% 0.39% shellcheck 3.28% 13.70% ld 1.80% 2.56% as 1.37% 3.08% cc1plus 0.80% 0.98% sh 0.62% 0.61% clang 0.56% 0.33% gcc 0.44% 1.71% perl 0.39% 0.83% make ... You can see latency of cc1 goes down to around 50% and python3 and ld contribute a lot more than their overhead. You can use --latency option in perf report to get the same result but ordered by latency. $ perf report --latency -s comm perf report: - As a side effect of the latency profiling work, it adds a new output field 'latency' and a sort key 'parallelism'.

2025-03-24perf bpf-filter: Fix a parsing error with commaNamhyung Kim
The previous change to support cgroup filters introduced a bug that pathname can include commas. It confused the lexer to treat an item and the trailing comma as a single token. And it resulted in a parse error: $ sudo perf record -e cycles:P --filter 'period > 0, ip > 64' -- true perf_bpf_filter: Error: Unexpected item: 0, perf_bpf_filter: syntax error, unexpected BFT_ERROR, expecting BFT_NUM Usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>] or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>] --filter <filter> event filter It should get "0" and "," separately. An easiest fix would be to remove "," from the possible pathname characters. As it's for cgroup names, probably ok to assume it won't have commas in the pathname. I found that the existing BPF filtering test didn't have any complex filter condition with commas. Let's update the group filter test which is supposed to test filter combinations like this.

When enabling the libperl feature the build uses perl's build flags (ccopts) but filters out various flags, e.g. for LTO. While this is conceptually correct, it is insufficient in practice, since only "-flto=auto" is filtered out. When perl itself is built with "-flto" this can cause parts of perf being built with LTO and others without, giving exciting build errors like e.g.: ../tools/perf/pmu-events/pmu-events.c:72851:(.text+0xb79): undefined reference to `strcmp_cpuid_str' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status Fix this by filtering all matching flag values of -flto{=n,auto,..}.

2025-03-20perf trace beauty: Add syscalltbl.sh generating all system call tablesIan Rogers
Rather than generating individual syscall header files generate a single trace/beauty/generated/syscalltbl.c. In a syscalltbls array have references to each architectures tables along with the corresponding e_machine. When the 32-bit or 64-bit table is ambiguous, match the perf binary's type. For ARM32 don't use the arm64 32-bit table which is smaller. EM_NONE is present for is no machine matches. Conditionally compile the tables, only having the appropriate 32 and 64-bit table. If ALL_SYSCALLTBL is defined all tables can be compiled. Add comment for noreturn column suggested by Arnd Bergmann: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/d47c35dd-9c52-48e7-a00d-135572f11fbb@app.fastmail.com/ and added in commit 9142be9e6443 ("x86/syscall: Mark exit[_group] syscall handlers __noreturn").

2025-03-20perf syscalltbl: Remove struct syscalltblIan Rogers
The syscalltbl held entries of system call name and number pairs, generated from a native syscalltbl at start up. As there are gaps in the system call number there is a notion of index into the table. Going forward we want the system call table to be identifiable by a machine type, for example, i386 vs x86-64. Change the interface to the syscalltbl so (1) a (currently unused machine type of EM_HOST) is passed (2) the index to syscall number and system call name mapping is computed at build time. Two tables are used for this, an array of system call number to name, an array of system call numbers sorted by the system call name. The sorted array doesn't store strings in part to save memory and relocations. The index notion is carried forward and is an index into the sorted array of system call numbers, the data structures are opaque (held only in syscalltbl.c), and so the number of indices for a machine type is exposed as a new API. The arrays are computed in the syscalltbl.sh script and so no start-up time computation and storage is necessary.

Identify struct syscall information in the syscalls table by a machine type and syscall number, not just system call number. Having the machine type means that 32-bit system calls can be differentiated from 64-bit ones on a machine capable of both. Having a table for all machine types and all system call numbers would be too large, so maintain a sorted array of system calls as they are encountered.

2025-03-20perf syscalltbl: Remove syscall_table.hIan Rogers
The definition of "static const char *const syscalltbl[] = {" is done in a generated syscalls_32.h or syscalls_64.h that is architecture dependent. In order to include the appropriate file a syscall_table.h is found via the perf include path and it includes the syscalls_32.h or syscalls_64.h as appropriate. To support having multiple syscall tables, one for 32-bit and one for 64-bit, or for different architectures, an include path cannot be used. Remove syscall_table.h because of this and inline what it does into syscalltbl.c. For architectures without a syscall_table.h this will cause a failure to include either syscalls_32.h or syscalls_64.h rather than a failure to include syscall_table.h. For architectures that only included one or other, the behavior matches BITS_PER_LONG as previously done on architectures supporting both syscalls_32.h and syscalls_64.h.
