perf beauty: Update the linux/perf_event.h copy with the kernel sources

2026-03-04T14:51:36+00:00

Update it as one comment got realigned, probably in a merge, so no changes in perf tooling, just silences this build warning: Warning: Kernel ABI header differences: diff -u tools/include/uapi/linux/perf_event.h include/uapi/linux/perf_event.h Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

Pull performance event updates from Ingo Molnar: "x86 PMU driver updates: - Add support for the core PMU for Intel Diamond Rapids (DMR) CPUs (Dapeng Mi) Compared to previous iterations of the Intel PMU code, there's been a lot of changes, which center around three main areas: - Introduce the OFF-MODULE RESPONSE (OMR) facility to replace the Off-Core Response (OCR) facility - New PEBS data source encoding layout - Support the new "RDPMC user disable" feature - Likewise, a large series adds uncore PMU support for Intel Diamond Rapids (DMR) CPUs (Zide Chen) This centers around these four main areas: - DMR may have two Integrated I/O and Memory Hub (IMH) dies, separate from the compute tile (CBB) dies. Each CBB and each IMH die has its own discovery domain. - Unlike prior CPUs that retrieve the global discovery table portal exclusively via PCI or MSR, DMR uses PCI for IMH PMON discovery and MSR for CBB PMON discovery. - DMR introduces several new PMON types: SCA, HAMVF, D2D_ULA, UBR, PCIE4, CRS, CPC, ITC, OTC, CMS, and PCIE6. - IIO free-running counters in DMR are MMIO-based, unlike SPR. - Also add support for Add missing PMON units for Intel Panther Lake, and support Nova Lake (NVL), which largely maps to Panther Lake. (Zide Chen) - KVM integration: Add support for mediated vPMUs (by Kan Liang and Sean Christopherson, with fixes and cleanups by Peter Zijlstra, Sandipan Das and Mingwei Zhang) - Add Intel cstate driver to support for Wildcat Lake (WCL) CPUs, which are a low-power variant of Panther Lake (Zide Chen) - Add core, cstate and MSR PMU support for the Airmont NP Intel CPU (aka MaxLinear Lightning Mountain), which maps to the existing Airmont code (Martin Schiller) Performance enhancements: - Speed up kexec shutdown by avoiding unnecessary cross CPU calls (Jan H. Schönherr) - Fix slow perf_event_task_exit() with LBR callstacks (Namhyung Kim) User-space stack unwinding support: - Various cleanups and refactorings in preparation to generalize the unwinding code for other architectures (Jens Remus) Uprobes updates: - Transition from kmap_atomic to kmap_local_page (Keke Ming) - Fix incorrect lockdep condition in filter_chain() (Breno Leitao) - Fix XOL allocation failure for 32-bit tasks (Oleg Nesterov) Misc fixes and cleanups: - s390: Remove kvm_types.h from Kbuild (Randy Dunlap) - x86/intel/uncore: Convert comma to semicolon (Chen Ni) - x86/uncore: Clean up const mismatch (Greg Kroah-Hartman) - x86/ibs: Fix typo in dc_l2tlb_miss comment (Xiang-Bin Shi)" * tag 'perf-core-2026-02-09' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (58 commits) s390: remove kvm_types.h from Kbuild uprobes: Fix incorrect lockdep condition in filter_chain() x86/ibs: Fix typo in dc_l2tlb_miss comment x86/uprobes: Fix XOL allocation failure for 32-bit tasks perf/x86/intel/uncore: Convert comma to semicolon perf/x86/intel: Add support for rdpmc user disable feature perf/x86: Use macros to replace magic numbers in attr_rdpmc perf/x86/intel: Add core PMU support for Novalake perf/x86/intel: Add support for PEBS memory auxiliary info field in NVL perf/x86/intel: Add core PMU support for DMR perf/x86/intel: Add support for PEBS memory auxiliary info field in DMR perf/x86/intel: Support the 4 new OMR MSRs introduced in DMR and NVL perf/core: Fix slow perf_event_task_exit() with LBR callstacks perf/core: Speed up kexec shutdown by avoiding unnecessary cross CPU calls uprobes: use kmap_local_page() for temporary page mappings arm/uprobes: use kmap_local_page() in arch_uprobe_copy_ixol() mips/uprobes: use kmap_local_page() in arch_uprobe_copy_ixol() arm64/uprobes: use kmap_local_page() in arch_uprobe_copy_ixol() riscv/uprobes: use kmap_local_page() in arch_uprobe_copy_ixol() perf/x86/intel/uncore: Add Nova Lake support ...

perf/x86/intel: Add support for PEBS memory auxiliary info field in DMR

2026-01-15T09:04:26+00:00

With the introduction of the OMR feature, the PEBS memory auxiliary info field for load and store latency events has been restructured for DMR. The memory auxiliary info field's bit[8] indicates whether a L2 cache miss occurred for a memory load or store instruction. If bit[8] is 0, it signifies no L2 cache miss, and bits[7:0] specify the exact cache data source (up to the L2 cache level). If bit[8] is 1, bits[7:0] represent the OMR encoding, indicating the specific L3 cache or memory region involved in the memory access. A significant enhancement is OMR encoding provides up to 8 fine-grained memory regions besides the cache region. A significant enhancement for OMR encoding is the ability to provide up to 8 fine-grained memory regions in addition to the cache region, offering more detailed insights into memory access regions. For detailed information on the memory auxiliary info encoding, please refer to section 16.2 "PEBS LOAD LATENCY AND STORE LATENCY FACILITY" in the ISE documentation. This patch ensures that the PEBS memory auxiliary info field is correctly interpreted and utilized in DMR.

perf/uapi: Clean up a bit

2025-05-22T09:03:41+00:00

When applying a recent commit to the header I noticed that we have accumulated quite a bit of historic noise in this header, so do a bit of spring cleaning: - Define bitfields in a vertically aligned fashion, like perf_event_mmap_page::capabilities already does. This makes it easier to see the distribution and sizing of bits within a word, at a glance. The following is much more readable: __u64 cap_bit0 : 1, cap_bit0_is_deprecated : 1, cap_user_rdpmc : 1, cap_user_time : 1, cap_user_time_zero : 1, cap_user_time_short : 1, cap_____res : 58; Than: __u64 cap_bit0:1, cap_bit0_is_deprecated:1, cap_user_rdpmc:1, cap_user_time:1, cap_user_time_zero:1, cap_user_time_short:1, cap_____res:58; So convert all bitfield definitions from the latter style to the former style. - Fix typos and grammar - Fix capitalization - Remove whitespace noise - Harmonize the definitions of various generations and groups of PERF_MEM_ ABI values. - Vertically align all definitions and assignments to the same column (48), as the first definition (enum perf_type_id), throughout the entire header. - And in general make the code and comments to be more in sync with each other and to be more readable overall. No change in functionality. Copy the changes over to tools/include/uapi/linux/perf_event.h.
