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

2026-05-23T11:03:20+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()

2026-05-23T11:03:20+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

2026-05-23T11:03:20+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

2026-05-23T11:03:20+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.

Revert "perf unwind-libdw: Fix invalid reference counts"

2026-04-27T13:23:33+00:00

This reverts commit eddddf4ed7f69697cb54e714e773f764c8d3b67e. Upstream commit f815fc0c66e7 ("perf unwind-libdw: Fix invalid reference counts"), was backported to v6.6.128 as eddddf4ed7f6. However, this commit depends on map_symbol__exit, which was introduced in v6.7 as commit 56e144fe9826 ("perf mem_info: Add and use map_symbol__exit and addr_map_symbol__exit") and is absent in v6.6.y. This results in a build failure. This is a revert of a backport, so there is no upstream commit. Signed-off-by: Kenta Akagi Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

perf callchain: Fix srcline printing with inlines

[ Upstream commit abec464767b5d26f0612250d511c18f420826ca1 ] sample__fprintf_callchain() was using map__fprintf_srcline() which won't report inline line numbers. Fix by using the srcline from the callchain and falling back to the map variant.

perf arm_spe: Fix memset subclass in operation

[ Upstream commit 33e1fffea492b7158a168914dc0da6aedf78d08e ] The operation subclass is extracted from bits [7..1] of the payload. Since bit [0] is not parsed, there is no chance to match the memset type (0x25). As a result, the memset payload is never parsed successfully. Instead of extracting a unified bit field, change to extract the specific bits for each operation subclass.

perf arm-spe: Extend branch operations

[ Upstream commit 64d86c03e1441742216b6332bdfabfb6ede31662 ] In Arm ARM (ARM DDI 0487, L.a), the section "D18.2.7 Operation Type packet", the branch subclass is extended for Call Return (CR), Guarded control stack data access (GCS). This commit adds support CR and GCS operations. The IND (indirect) operation is defined only in bit [1], its macro is updated accordingly. Move the COND (Conditional) macro into the same group with other operations for better maintenance.
