perf annotate: Fix args leak of map_symbol

2026-03-04T12:19:25+00:00

[ Upstream commit 00419892bac28bf148450d762bbff990a6bd5494 ] map_symbol__exit() needs calling on an annotate_args.ms, however, rather than introduce proper reference count handling to symbol__annotate() just switch to passing the map_symbol pointer parameter around, making the puts the caller's responsibility. Fix a number of cases to ensure the map in a map_symbol has a reference count increment and add the then necessary map_symbol_exits.

perf record: Add ratio-to-prev term

2025-10-03T19:49:51+00:00

Provide ratio-to-prev term which allows the user to set the event sample period of two events corresponding to a desired ratio. If using on an Intel x86 platform with Auto Counter Reload support, also set corresponding event's config2 attribute with a bitmask which counters to reset and which counters to sample if the desired ratio is met or exceeded. On other platforms, only the sample period is affected by the ratio-to-prev term.

perf tools kvm: Use "cycles" to sample guest for "kvm record" on Intel

2025-10-02T18:31:39+00:00

After KVM supports PEBS for guest on Intel platforms (https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220411101946.20262-1-likexu@tencent.com/), host loses the capability to sample guest with PEBS since all PEBS related MSRs are switched to guest value after vm-entry, like IA32_DS_AREA MSR is switched to guest GVA at vm-entry. This would lead to "perf kvm record" fails to sample guest on Intel platforms since "cycles:P" event is used to sample guest by default as below case shows. sudo perf kvm record -a ^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.787 MB perf.data.guest ] So to ensure guest record can be sampled successfully, use "cycles" instead of "cycles:P" to sample guest record by default on Intel platforms. With this patch, the guest record can be sampled successfully. sudo perf kvm record -a ^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.783 MB perf.data.guest (23 samples) ] Fixes: cf8e55fe50df0c02 ("KVM: x86/pmu: Expose CPUIDs feature bits PDCM, DS, DTES64") Reported-by: Kevin Tian Signed-off-by: Dapeng Mi Acked-by: Namhyung Kim Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: Alexander Shishkin Cc: Ian Rogers Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Kan Liang Cc: Like Xu Cc: Paolo Bonzini Cc: Peter Zijlstra Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf powerpc: Add basic CONFIG_AUXTRACE support for VPA pmu on powerpc

2025-10-01T14:22:04+00:00

The powerpc PMU collecting Dispatch Trace Log (DTL) entries makes use of AUX support in perf infrastructure. The PMU driver has the functionality to collect trace entries in the aux buffer. On the tools side, this data is made available as PERF_RECORD_AUXTRACE records. This record is generated by "perf record" command. To enable the creation of PERF_RECORD_AUXTRACE, add functions to initialize auxtrace records ie "auxtrace_record__init()". Fill in fields for other callbacks like info_priv_size, info_fill, free, recording options etc. Define auxtrace_type as PERF_AUXTRACE_VPA_DTL. Add header file to define vpa dtl pmu specific details.

perf evsel: Give warning for broken Intel topdown event grouping

2025-09-12T18:48:12+00:00

Extend arch_evsel__open_strerror() from just AMD IBS events to Intel core PMU events, to give a message when a slots event isn't a group leader or when a perf metric event is duplicated within an event group. As generating the warning happens after non-arch specific warnings are generated, disable the missing system wide (-a) flag warning for the core PMU. This assumes core PMU events should support per-thread/process and system-wide.
