bitops: make BYTES_TO_BITS() treewide-available

2026-07-24T13:55:12+00:00

[ Upstream commit 7d8296b250f2eed73f1758607926d4d258dea5d4 ] Avoid open-coding that simple expression each time by moving BYTES_TO_BITS() from the probes code to to export it to the rest of the kernel. Simplify the macro while at it. `BITS_PER_LONG / sizeof(long)` always equals to %BITS_PER_BYTE, regardless of the target architecture. Do the same for the tools ecosystem as well (incl. its version of bitops.h). The previous implementation had its implicit type of long, while the new one is int, so adjust the format literal accordingly in the perf code.

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

[ 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.

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.
