perf stat: Add aggr_nr metric parser support

2026-06-04T13:58:47+00:00

Introduce the `aggr_nr` function to the metric expression parser. `aggr_nr` allows metric formulas to dynamically utilize the number of aggregated targets (`aggr->nr`) instead of relying on the static `source_count` (which represents the static socket or node count). This adds the `AGGR_NR` token to the lexer and parser, updates the expression parsing context helpers to store `aggr_nr`, and feeds `aggr->nr` from the aggregation structure in `prepare_metric`.

perf jevents: Add a new expression builtin strcmp_cpuid_str()

2023-08-17T17:12:14+00:00

This will allow writing formulas that are conditional on a specific CPU type or CPU version. It calls through to the existing strcmp_cpuid_str() function in Perf which has a default weak version, and an arch specific version for x86 and arm64. The function takes an 'ID' type value, which is a string. But in this case Arm CPU IDs are hex numbers prefixed with '0x'. metric.py assumes strings are only used by event names, and that they can't start with a number ('0'), so an additional change has to be made to the regex to convert hex numbers back to 'ID' types.

perf expr: Prevent normalize() from reading into undefined memory in the expression lexer

2023-01-18T13:33:00+00:00

The current implementation does not account for a trailing backslash followed by a null-byte. If a null-byte is encountered following a backslash, normalize() will continue reading (and potentially writing) into garbage memory ignoring the EOS null-byte.

Pass state necessary for core_wide into the expression parser.

perf expr: Add source_count for aggregating events

2021-11-13T21:11:50+00:00

Events like uncore_imc/cas_count_read/ on Skylake open multiple events and then aggregate in the metric leader. To determine the average value per event the number of these events is needed. Add a source_count function that returns this value by counting the number of events with the given metric leader. For most events the value is 1 but for uncore_imc/cas_count_read/ it can yield values like 6. Add a generic test, but manually tested with a test metric that uses the function.
