perf build: Remove -Wno-unused-but-set-variable from the flex flags when building with clang < 13.0.0

commit 878460e8d0ff84a0edbaff9d06f9d9dbe8353800 upstream. clang < 13.0.0 doesn't grok -Wno-unused-but-set-variable, so just remove it to avoid: error: unknown warning option '-Wno-unused-but-set-variable'; did you mean '-Wno-unused-const-variable'?

perf build: Disable fewer bison warnings

2026-06-19T11:37:30+00:00

commit ddc8e4c966923ad1137790817157c8a5f0301aec upstream If bison is version 3.8.2, reduce the number of bison C warnings disabled. Earlier bison versions have all C warnings disabled. Avoid implicit declarations of yylex by adding the declaration in the C file. A header can't be included as a circular dependency would occur due to the lexer using the bison defined tokens.

perf auxtrace arm64: Add support for parsing HiSilicon PCIe Trace packet

2022-10-15T13:13:16+00:00

Add support for using 'perf report --dump-raw-trace' to parse PTT packet. Example usage: Output will contain raw PTT data and its textual representation, such as (8DW format): 0 0 0x5810 [0x30]: PERF_RECORD_AUXTRACE size: 0x400000 offset: 0 ref: 0xa5d50c725 idx: 0 tid: -1 cpu: 0 . . ...

This patch only add basic parsing support according to the definition of the PTT packet described in Documentation/trace/hisi-ptt.rst. And the fields of each packet can be further decoded following the PCIe Spec's definition of TLP packet.

perf mutex: Wrapped usage of mutex and cond

2022-10-04T11:55:19+00:00

Added a new header file mutex.h that wraps the usage of pthread_mutex_t and pthread_cond_t. By abstracting these it is possible to introduce error checking.

perf arm64: Add missing -I for tools/arch/arm64/include/ to find asm/sysreg.h when building arm_spe.h

2022-08-11T22:11:36+00:00

This cures a current problem where tools/perf/util/arm-spe.c isn't finding a ARM64 specific asm header, so lets add it for now to make progress. Adding a .o specific rule seems clunky, lets try and find if this is really the right solution.

perf parse-events: Break out tracepoint and printing

2022-08-02T19:32:26+00:00

Move print_*_events functions out of parse-events.c into a new print-events.c. Move tracepoint code into tracepoint.c or trace-event-info.c (sole user). This reduces the dependencies of parse-events.c and makes it more amenable to being a library in the future. Remove some unnecessary definitions from parse-events.h. Fix a checkpatch.pl warning on using unsigned rather than unsigned int. Fix some line length warnings too.

perf kwork: Implement BPF trace

2022-07-26T19:31:54+00:00

'perf record' generates perf.data, which generates extra interrupts for hard disk, amount of data to be collected increases with time. Using eBPF trace can process the data in kernel, which solves the preceding two problems. Add -b/--use-bpf option for latency and report to support tracing kwork events using eBPF: 1. Create bpf prog and attach to tracepoints, 2. Start tracing after command is entered, 3. After user hit "ctrl+c", stop tracing and report, 4. Support CPU and name filtering. This commit implements the framework code and does not add specific event support.
