2026-04-14perf test: Fixes for check branch stack samplingIan Rogers1-50/+96
When filtering branch stack samples on user events they sample in user land but may have come from the kernel. Aarch64 avoids leaking the kernel address for kaslr reasons but other platforms, for now, don't. Be more permissive in allowing kernel addresses in the source of user branch stacks. When filtering branch stack samples on kernel events they sample in kernel land but may have come from user land. Avoid the target being a user address but allow the source to be in user land. Aarch64 may not leak the user land addresses (making them 0) but other platforms do. As the kernel address sampling implies privelege, just allow this. Increase the duration of the system call sampling test to make the likelihood of sampling a system call higher (increased from 1000 to 8000 loops - a number found through experimentation on an Intel Tigerlake laptop), also make the period of the event a prime number. Put unneeded perf record output into a temporary file so that the test output isn't cluttered. More clearly state which test is running and the pass, fail or skipped result of the test. These changes make the test on an Intel tigerlake laptop reliably pass rather than reliably fail.

2026-04-14perf test: Fix inet_pton probe failure and unroll call graphIan Rogers1-4/+4
When adding a probe for libc's inet_pton, perf probe may create multiple probe points (e.g., due to inlining or multiple symbol resolutions), resulting in multiple identical event names being output (e.g., `probe_libc:inet_pton_1`). The script previously used a brittle pipeline (`tail -n +2 | head -n -5`) and an awk script to extract the event name. When multiple probes were added, awk would output the event name multiple times, which expanded to multiple words in bash. This broke the subsequent `perf record` and `perf probe -d` commands, causing the test to fail with: `Error: another command except --add is set.` Fix this by removing the brittle `tail/head` commands and appending `| head -n 1` to the awk extraction. This ensures that only a single, unique event name is captured, regardless of how many probe points are created. Additionally, the test artificially limited the backtrace size via `max-stack=4` and did not specify dwarf call graphs for non-s390x architectures. In newer libc versions where `inet_pton` is nested deeper or compiled without frame pointers, `perf script` failed to resolve the backtrace up to `/bin/ping`. Fix this by explicitly collecting dwarf call-graphs for all architectures and increasing `max-stack` to 8.

use_stdio was associated with struct perf_data and not perf_data_file meaning there was implicit use of fd rather than fptr that may not be safe. For example, in perf_data_file__write. Reorganize perf_data_file to better abstract use_stdio, add kernel-doc and more consistently use perf_data__ accessors so that use_stdio is better respected.

2026-04-09perf tools: Make more global variables staticIan Rogers3-5/+5
`make check` will run sparse on the perf code base. A frequent warning is "warning: symbol '...' was not declared. Should it be static?" Go through and make global definitions without declarations static. In some cases it is deliberate due to dlsym accessing the symbol, this change doesn't clean up the missing declarations for perf test suites. Sometimes things can opportunistically be made const. Making somethings static exposed unused functions warnings, so restructuring of ifdefs was necessary for that. These changes reduce the size of the perf binary by 568 bytes. Committer notes: Refreshed the patch, the original one fell thru the cracks, updated the size reduction. Remove the trace-event-scripting.c changes, break the build, noticed with container builds and with sashiko: https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260401215306.2152898-1-acme%40kernel.org Also make two variables static to address another sashiko review comment: https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260402001740.2220481-1-acme%40kernel.org Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com> Acked-by: Ankur Arora <ankur.a.arora@oracle.com> Acked-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Albert Ou <aou@eecs.berkeley.edu> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Alexandre Ghiti <alex@ghiti.fr> Cc: Athira Rajeev <atrajeev@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Guo Ren <guoren@kernel.org> Cc: Howard Chu <howardchu95@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: James Clark <james.clark@linaro.org> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Leo Yan <leo.yan@arm.com> Cc: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org> Cc: Palmer Dabbelt <palmer@dabbelt.com> Cc: Paul Walmsley <pjw@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Yujie Liu <yujie.liu@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org>

Add the evsel from evsel__parse_sample into the struct perf_sample. Sometimes we want to alter the evsel associated with a sample, such as with off-cpu bpf-output events. In general the evsel and perf_sample are passed as a pair, but this makes an altered evsel something of a chore to keep checking for and setting up.

2026-04-06perf sample: Make sure perf_sample__init/exit are usedIan Rogers2-0/+3
The deferred stack trace code wasn't using perf_sample__init/exit. Add the deferred stack trace clean up to perf_sample__exit which requires proper NULL initialization in perf_sample__init. Make the perf_sample__exit robust to being called more than once by using zfree. Make the error paths in evsel__parse_sample exit the sample. Add a merged_callchain boolean to capture that callchain is allocated, deferred_callchain doen't suffice for this. Pack the struct variables to avoid padding bytes for this. Similiarly powerpc_vpadtl_sample wasn't using perf_sample__init/exit, use it for consistency and potential issues with uninitialized variables. Similarly guest_session__inject_events in builtin-inject wasn't using perf_sample_init/exit. The lifetime management for fetched events is somewhat complex there, but when an event is fetched the sample should be initialized and needs exiting on error. The sample may be left in place so that future injects have access to it. Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com> Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org>

The index into the cpumap array and the number of entries within the array can never be negative, so let's make them unsigned. This is prompted by reports that gcc 13 with -O6 is giving a alloc-size-larger-than errors. The change makes the cpumap changes and then updates the declaration of index variables throughout perf and libperf to be unsigned. The two things are hard to separate as compiler warnings about mixing signed and unsigned types breaks the build.

2026-02-07perf test: Fix test case Leader sampling on s390Thomas Richter1-1/+15
The subtest 'Leader sampling' some time fails on s390. - for z/VM guest: Disable the test for z/VM guest. There is no CPU Measurement facility to run the test successfully. - for LPAR: Use correct event names. A detailed analysis follows here: Now to the debugging and investigation: 1. With command perf record -e '{cycles,cycles}:S' -- .... the first cycles event starts sampling. On s390 this sets up sampling with a frequency of 4000 Hz. This translates to hardware sample rate of 1377000 instructions per micro-second to meet a frequency of 4000 HZ. 2. With first event cycles now sampling into a hardware buffer, an interrupt is triggered each time a sampling buffer gets full. The interrupt handler is then invoked and debug output shows the processing of samples. The size of one hardware sample is 32 bytes. With an interrupt triggered when the hardware buffer page of 4KB gets full, the interrupt handler processes 128 samples. (This is taken from s390 specific fast debug data gathering) 2025-11-07 14:35:51.977248 000003ffe013cbfa \ perf_event_count_update event->count 0x0 count 0x1502e8 2025-11-07 14:35:51.977248 000003ffe013cbfa \ perf_event_count_update event->count 0x1502e8 count 0x1502e8 2025-11-07 14:35:51.977248 000003ffe013cbfa \ perf_event_count_update event->count 0x2a05d0 count 0x1502e8 2025-11-07 14:35:51.977252 000003ffe013cbfa \ perf_event_count_update event->count 0x3f08b8 count 0x1502e8 2025-11-07 14:35:51.977252 000003ffe013cbfa \ perf_event_count_update event->count 0x540ba0 count 0x1502e8 2025-11-07 14:35:51.977253 000003ffe013cbfa \ perf_event_count_update event->count 0x690e88 count 0x1502e8 2025-11-07 14:35:51.977254 000003ffe013cbfa \ perf_event_count_update event->count 0x7e1170 count 0x1502e8 2025-11-07 14:35:51.977254 000003ffe013cbfa \ perf_event_count_update event->count 0x931458 count 0x1502e8 2025-11-07 14:35:51.977254 000003ffe013cbfa \ perf_event_count_update event->count 0xa81740 count 0x1502e8 3.

The second event cycles is opened against the counting PMU, which is an independent PMU and is not interrupt driven. Once enabled it runs in the background and keeps running, incrementing silently about 400+ counters. The counter values are read via assembly instructions. This second counter PMU's read call back function is called when the interrupt handler of the sampling facility processes each sample. The function call sequence is: perf_event_overflow() +--> __perf_event_overflow() +--> __perf_event_output() +--> perf_output_sample() +--> perf_output_read() +--> perf_output_read_group() for_each_sibling_event(sub, leader) { values[n++] = perf_event_count(sub, self); printk("%s sub %p values %#lx\n", __func__, sub, values[n-1]); } The last function perf_event_count() is invoked on the second event cylces *on* the counting PMU.

An interrupt processes the 128 samples and calls eventually perf_output_read_group() for each sample to save it in the event's ring buffer. - At that time the CPU counting facility is invoked to read the value of the event cycles. This value is saved as the second value in the sample_read structure. - The first and odd lines in the perf script output displays the period value between 2 samples being created by hardware. It is the number of instructions executes before the hardware writes a sample. - The second and even lines in the perf script output displays the number of CPU cycles needed to process each sample and save it in the event's ring buffer. These 2 different values can never be identical on s390. Since event leader sampling is not possible on s390 the perf tool will return EOPNOTSUPP soon. Perpare the test case for that.

2026-01-23perf tests sched: Avoid error in cleanup on loaded machinesIan Rogers1-1/+1
The stop_noploops function will kill the noploop processes that are running for 10 seconds. On a loaded machine they may have already terminated meaning the kill will return an error of no such process. This doesn't matter and so ignore the error to avoid the test terminating in the cleanup.

2026-01-23kallsyms: Get rid of kallsyms relative baseArd Biesheuvel1-1/+0
When the kallsyms relative base was introduced, per-CPU variable references on x86_64 SMP were implemented as offsets into the respective per-CPU region, rather than offsets relative to the location of the variable's template in the kernel image, which is how other architectures implement it. This required kallsyms to reason about the difference between the two, and the sign of the value in the kallsyms_offsets[] array was used to distinguish them. This meant that negative offsets were not permitted for ordinary variables, and so it was crucial that the relative base was chosen such that all offsets were positive numbers. This is no longer needed: instead, the offsets can simply be encoded as values in the range -/+ 2 GiB, which is precisely what PC32 relocations provide on most architectures. So it is possible to simplify the logic, and just use _text as the anchor directly, and let the linker calculate the final value based on the location of the entry itself. Some architectures (nios2, extensa) do not support place-relative relocations at all, but these are all 32-bit and non-relocatable, and so there is no need for place-relative relocations in the first place, and the actual symbol values can just be stored directly. This makes all entries in the kallsyms_offsets[] array visible as place-relative references in the ELF metadata, which will be important when implementing ELF-based fg-kaslr.
