perf tools: Don't read build-ids from non-regular files

2025-11-26T18:13:38+00:00

Simplify the build ID reading code by removing the non-blocking option. Having to pass the correct option to this function was fragile and a mistake would result in a hang, see the linked fix. Furthermore, compressed files are always opened blocking anyway, ignoring the non-blocking option. We also don't expect to read build IDs from non-regular files. The only hits to this function that are non-regular are devices that won't be elf files with build IDs, for example "/dev/dri/renderD129". Now instead of opening these as non-blocking and failing to read, we skip them. Even if something like a pipe or character device did have a build ID, I don't think it would have worked because you need to call read() in a loop, check for -EAGAIN and handle timeouts to make non-blocking reads work.

perf symbol: Add blocking argument to filename__read_build_id

2025-08-25T22:07:18+00:00

When synthesizing build-ids, for build ID mmap2 events, they will be added for data mmaps if -d/--data is specified. The files opened for their build IDs may block on the open causing perf to hang during synthesis. There is some robustness in existing calls to filename__read_build_id by checking the file path is to a regular file, which unfortunately fails for symlinks. Rather than adding more is_regular_file calls, switch filename__read_build_id to take a "block" argument and specify O_NONBLOCK when this is false. The existing is_regular_file checking callers and the event synthesis callers are made to pass false and thereby avoiding the hang.

perf build-id: Ensure struct build_id is empty before use

2025-07-25T17:37:55+00:00

If a build ID is read then not all code paths may ensure it is empty before use. Initialize the build_id to be zero-ed unless there is clear initialization such as a call to build_id__init.

perf test: Rename struct test to test_suite

perf test: Move each test suite struct to its test

2021-11-13T13:30:58+00:00

Rather than export test functions, export the test struct. Rename with a suite__ prefix to avoid name collisions. Committer notes: Its '&suite__vectors_page', not '&suite__vectors_pages', noticed when cross building to arm (32-bit).

perf tools: Pass build_id object to build_id__sprintf()

2020-10-14T11:46:22+00:00

Passing build_id object to build_id__sprintf function, so it can operate with the proper size of build id. This will create proper md5 build id readable names, like following: a50e350e97c43b4708d09bcd85ebfff7 instead of: a50e350e97c43b4708d09bcd85ebfff700000000 Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa Acked-by: Ian Rogers Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20201013192441.1299447-5-jolsa@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf tools: No need to include internal/lib.h from util/util.h

2019-09-25T12:51:48+00:00

That was done just to have users of writen() and readn(), that before had their prototypes in util/util.h to get it without having to add an include for internal/lib.h, but the right way is to add it and by now all places already do it. Fix a fallout were readlink() was used but unistd.h was being obtained by luck thru util.h -> internal/lib.h, now to check why unistd.h is being included there...

2019-09-01T01:24:10+00:00

Now that evlist.h isn't included by any other header, we can check where it is really needed, i.e. we can remove it and be sure that it isn't being obtained indirectly.
