perf util: Kill die() prototype, dead for a long time

2026-06-01T15:39:19+00:00

[ Upstream commit e5cce1b9c82fbd48e2f1f7a25a9fad8ee228176f ] In fef2a735167a827a ("perf tools: Kill die()") the die() function was removed, but not the prototype in util.h, now when building with LIBPERL=1, during a 'make -C tools/perf build-test' routine test, it is failing as perl likes die() calls and then this clashes with this remnant, remove it.

perf expr: Return -EINVAL for syntax error in expr__find_ids()

2026-06-01T15:39:19+00:00

[ Upstream commit 3a61fd866ef9aaa1d3158b460f852b74a2df07f4 ] expr__find_ids() propagates the parser return value directly. For syntax errors, the parser can return a positive value, but callers treat it as success, e.g., for below case on Arm64 platform: metric expr 100 * (STALL_SLOT_BACKEND / (CPU_CYCLES * #slots) - BR_MIS_PRED * 3 / CPU_CYCLES) for backend_bound parsing metric: 100 * (STALL_SLOT_BACKEND / (CPU_CYCLES * #slots) - BR_MIS_PRED * 3 / CPU_CYCLES) Failure to read '#slots' literal: #slots = nan syntax error Convert positive parser returns in expr__find_ids() to -EINVAL, as a result, the error value will be respected by callers. Before: perf stat -C 5 Failure to read '#slots'Failure to read '#slots'Failure to read '#slots'Failure to read '#slots'Segmentation fault After: perf stat -C 5 Failure to read '#slots'Cannot find metric or group `Default' Fixes: ded80bda8bc9 ("perf expr: Migrate expr ids table to a hashmap") Signed-off-by: Leo Yan Reviewed-by: Ian Rogers Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

perf: tools: cs-etm: Fix print issue for Coresight debug in ETE/TRBE trace

2026-06-01T15:39:19+00:00

[ Upstream commit 6c478e7b3eba3f387a2d6c749e3e3ee0f8ad1c53 ] Building perf with CORESIGHT=1 and the optional CSTRACE_RAW=1 enables additional debug printing of raw trace data when using command:- perf report --dump. This raw trace prints the CoreSight formatted trace frames, which may be used to investigate suspected issues with trace quality / corruption / decode. These frames are not present in ETE + TRBE trace. This fix removes the unnecessary call to print these frames. This fix also rationalises implementation - original code had helper function that unnecessarily repeated initialisation calls that had already been made. Due to an addtional fault with the OpenCSD library, this call when ETE/TRBE are being decoded will cause a segfault in perf. This fix also prevents that problem for perf using older (<= 1.8.0 version) OpenCSD libraries.

perf branch: Avoid incrementing NULL

2026-06-01T15:39:19+00:00

[ Upstream commit c969a9d7bbf46f983c4a48566b3b2f7340b02296 ] If the entry is NULL the value is meaningless so early return NULL to avoid an increment of NULL. This was happening in calls from has_stitched_lbr when running the "perf record LBR tests". The return value isn't used in that case, so returning NULL as no effect.

perf session: Fix handling when buffer exceeds 2 GiB

2025-10-19T14:23:06+00:00

[ Upstream commit c17dda8013495d8132c976cbf349be9949d0fbd1 ] If a user specifies an AUX buffer larger than 2 GiB, the returned size may exceed 0x80000000. Since the err variable is defined as a signed 32-bit integer, such a value overflows and becomes negative. As a result, the perf record command reports an error: 0x146e8 [0x30]: failed to process type: 71 [Unknown error 183711232] Change the type of the err variable to a signed 64-bit integer to accommodate large buffer sizes correctly.
