12 daysperf symbol-elf: Add support for the block argument for libbfdIan Rogers1-3/+7
James Clark caught that the BUILD_NONDISTRO=1 build with libbfd was broken due to an update to the read_build_id function adding a blocking argument. Add support for this argument by first opening the file blocking or non-blocking, then switching from bfd_openr to bfd_fdopenr and passing the opened fd. bfd_fdopenr closes the fd on error and when bfd_close are called.

12 daysperf test: Checking BPF metadata collection fails on version stringThomas Richter1-1/+1
commit edf2cadf01e8f ("perf test: add test for BPF metadata collection") fails consistently on the version string check. The perf version string on some of the constant integration test machines contains characters with special meaning in grep's extended regular expression matching algorithm. The output of perf version is: # perf version perf version 6.17.0-20250814.rc1.git20.24ea63ea3877.63.fc42.s390x+git # and the '+' character has special meaning in egrep command. Also the use of egrep is deprecated. Change the perf version string check to fixed character matching and get rid of egrep's warning being deprecated. Use grep -F instead. Output before: # perf test -F 102 Checking BPF metadata collection egrep: warning: egrep is obsolescent; using grep -E Basic BPF metadata test [Failed invalid output] 102: BPF metadata collection test : FAILED! # Output after: # perf test -F 102 Checking BPF metadata collection Basic BPF metadata test [Success] 102: BPF metadata collection test : Ok # Fixes: edf2cadf01e8f ("perf test: add test for BPF metadata collection") Signed-off-by: Thomas Richter <tmricht@linux.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com> Reviewed-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Acked-by: Sumanth Korikkar <sumanthk@linux.ibm.com> Cc: Blake Jones <blakejones@google.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250822122540.4104658-1-tmricht@linux.ibm.com Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org>

2025-09-03perf bpf-utils: Harden get_bpf_prog_info_linearIan Rogers1-10/+33
In get_bpf_prog_info_linear two calls to bpf_obj_get_info_by_fd are made, the first to compute memory requirements for a struct perf_bpil and the second to fill it in. Previously the code would warn when the second call didn't match the first. Such races can be common place in things like perf test, whose perf trace tests will frequently load BPF programs. Rather than a debug message, return actual errors for this case. Out of paranoia also validate the read bpf_prog_info array value. Change the type of ptr to avoid mismatched pointer type compiler warnings. Add some additional debug print outs and sanity asserts.

2025-09-03perf bpf-event: Fix use-after-free in synthesisIan Rogers1-12/+27
Calls to perf_env__insert_bpf_prog_info may fail as a sideband thread may already have inserted the bpf_prog_info. Such failures may yield info_linear being freed which then causes use-after-free issues with the internal bpf_prog_info info struct. Make it so that perf_env__insert_bpf_prog_info trigger early non-error paths and fix the use-after-free in perf_event__synthesize_one_bpf_prog. Add proper return error handling to perf_env__add_bpf_info (that calls perf_env__insert_bpf_prog_info) and propagate the return value in its callers.

2025-08-26perf symbol: Add blocking argument to filename__read_build_idIan Rogers12-27/+32
When synthesizing build-ids, for build ID mmap2 events, they will be added for data mmaps if -d/--data is specified. The files opened for their build IDs may block on the open causing perf to hang during synthesis. There is some robustness in existing calls to filename__read_build_id by checking the file path is to a regular file, which unfortunately fails for symlinks. Rather than adding more is_regular_file calls, switch filename__read_build_id to take a "block" argument and specify O_NONBLOCK when this is false. The existing is_regular_file checking callers and the event synthesis callers are made to pass false and thereby avoiding the hang.

2025-08-07perf bpf-filter: Enable events manuallyIlya Leoshkevich1-1/+4
On s390, and, in general, on all platforms where the respective event supports auxiliary data gathering, the command: # ./perf record -u 0 -aB --synth=no -- ./perf test -w thloop [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.011 MB perf.data ] # ./perf report --stats | grep SAMPLE # does not generate samples in the perf.data file. On x86 the command: # sudo perf record -e intel_pt// -u 0 ls is broken too. Looking at the sequence of calls in 'perf record' reveals this behavior: 1. The event 'cycles' is created and enabled: record__open() +-> evlist__apply_filters() +-> perf_bpf_filter__prepare() +-> bpf_program.attach_perf_event() +-> bpf_program.attach_perf_event_opts() +-> __GI___ioctl(..., PERF_EVENT_IOC_ENABLE, ...) The event 'cycles' is enabled and active now. However the event's ring-buffer to store the samples generated by hardware is not allocated yet. 2. The event's fd is mmap()ed to create the ring buffer: record__open() +-> record__mmap() +-> record__mmap_evlist() +-> evlist__mmap_ex() +-> perf_evlist__mmap_ops() +-> mmap_per_cpu() +-> mmap_per_evsel() +-> mmap__mmap() +-> perf_mmap__mmap() +-> mmap() This allocates the ring buffer for the event 'cycles'. With mmap() the kernel creates the ring buffer: perf_mmap(): kernel function to create the event's ring | buffer to save the sampled data. | +-> ring_buffer_attach(): Allocates memory for ring buffer. | The PMU has auxiliary data setup function. The | has_aux(event) condition is true and the PMU's | stop() is called to stop sampling. It is not | restarted: | | if (has_aux(event)) | perf_event_stop(event, 0); | +-> cpumsf_pmu_stop(): Hardware sampling is stopped. No samples are generated and saved anymore. 3. After the event 'cycles' has been mapped, the event is enabled a second time in: __cmd_record() +-> evlist__enable() +-> __evlist__enable() +-> evsel__enable_cpu() +-> perf_evsel__enable_cpu() +-> perf_evsel__run_ioctl() +-> perf_evsel__ioctl() +-> __GI___ioctl(., PERF_EVENT_IOC_ENABLE, .) The second ioctl(fd, PERF_EVENT_IOC_ENABLE, 0); is just a NOP in this case. The first invocation in (1.) sets the event::state to PERF_EVENT_STATE_ACTIVE. The kernel functions perf_ioctl() +-> _perf_ioctl() +-> _perf_event_enable() +-> __perf_event_enable() return immediately because event::state is already set to PERF_EVENT_STATE_ACTIVE. This happens on s390, because the event 'cycles' offers the possibility to save auxilary data. The PMU callbacks setup_aux() and free_aux() are defined. Without both callback functions, cpumsf_pmu_stop() is not invoked and sampling continues. To remedy this, remove the first invocation of ioctl(..., PERF_EVENT_IOC_ENABLE, ...). in step (1.) Create the event in step (1.) and enable it in step (3.) after the ring buffer has been mapped. Output after: # ./perf record -aB --synth=no -u 0 -- ./perf test -w thloop 2 [ perf record: Woken up 3 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.876 MB perf.data ] # ./perf report --stats | grep SAMPLE SAMPLE events: 16200 (99.5%) SAMPLE events: 16200 # The software event succeeded both before and after the patch: # ./perf record -e cpu-clock -aB --synth=no -u 0 -- \ ./perf test -w thloop 2 [ perf record: Woken up 7 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 2.870 MB perf.data ] # ./perf report --stats | grep SAMPLE SAMPLE events: 53506 (99.8%) SAMPLE events: 53506 # Fixes: b4c658d4d63d61 ("perf target: Remove uid from target") Suggested-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Tested-by: Thomas Richter <tmricht@linux.ibm.com> Acked-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Co-developed-by: Thomas Richter <tmricht@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Thomas Richter <tmricht@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Ilya Leoshkevich <iii@linux.ibm.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250806162417.19666-3-iii@linux.ibm.com Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>

They have been available in distros for quite a while: $ file /bin/bash /bin/bash: ELF 64-bit LSB pie executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, BuildID[sha1]=707a1c670cd72f8e55ffedfbe94ea98901b7ce3a, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, stripped It is possible to ask the kernel to get it from mmap executable backing storage at time they are being put in place and send it as metadata at that moment to have in perf.data. Prefer that across the board to speed up 'record' time - it post processes the samples to find binaries touched by any samples and to save them with build-ID. It can skip reading build-ID in userspace if it comes from the kernel. perf record: * Make --buildid-mmap default. The kernel can generate MMAP2 events with a build-ID from ELF header. Use that by default instead of using inode and device ID to identify binaries. It also can be disabled with --no-buildid-mmap. * Use BPF for -u/--uid option to sample processes belong to a user. BPF can track user processes more accurately and the existing logic often fails to get the list of processes due to race with reading the /proc filesystem. * Generate PERF_RECORD_BPF_METADATA when it profiles BPF programs and they have variables starting with "bpf_metadata_". This will help to identify BPF objects used in the profile. This has been supported in bpftool for some time and allows the recording of metadata such as commit hashes, versions, etc, that now gets recorded in perf.data as well. * Collect list of DSOs touched in the sample callchains as well as in the sample itself. This would increase the processing time at the end of record, but can improve the data quality. perf stat: * Add a new 'drm' pseudo-PMU support like in 'hwmon'.

2025-07-31perf record: Cache build-ID of hit DSOs onlyNamhyung Kim1-1/+1
It post-processes samples to find which DSO has samples. Based on that info, it can save used DSOs in the build-ID cache directory. But for some reason, it saves all DSOs without checking the hit mark. Skipping unused DSOs can give some speedup especially with --buildid-mmap being default. On my idle machine, `time perf record -a sleep 1` goes down from 3 sec to 1.5 sec with this change.

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini: "ARM: - Host driver for GICv5, the next generation interrupt controller for arm64, including support for interrupt routing, MSIs, interrupt translation and wired interrupts - Use FEAT_GCIE_LEGACY on GICv5 systems to virtualize GICv3 VMs on GICv5 hardware, leveraging the legacy VGIC interface - Userspace control of the 'nASSGIcap' GICv3 feature, allowing userspace to disable support for SGIs w/o an active state on hardware that previously advertised it unconditionally - Map supporting endpoints with cacheable memory attributes on systems with FEAT_S2FWB and DIC where KVM no longer needs to perform cache maintenance on the address range - Nested support for FEAT_RAS and FEAT_DoubleFault2, allowing the guest hypervisor to inject external aborts into an L2 VM and take traps of masked external aborts to the hypervisor - Convert more system register sanitization to the config-driven implementation - Fixes to the visibility of EL2 registers, namely making VGICv3 system registers accessible through the VGIC device instead of the ONE_REG vCPU ioctls - Various cleanups and minor fixes LoongArch: - Add stat information for in-kernel irqchip - Add tracepoints for CPUCFG and CSR emulation exits - Enhance in-kernel irqchip emulation - Various cleanups RISC-V: - Enable ring-based dirty memory tracking - Improve perf kvm stat to report interrupt events - Delegate illegal instruction trap to VS-mode - MMU improvements related to upcoming nested virtualization s390x - Fixes x86: - Add CONFIG_KVM_IOAPIC for x86 to allow disabling support for I/O APIC, PIC, and PIT emulation at compile time - Share device posted IRQ code between SVM and VMX and harden it against bugs and runtime errors - Use vcpu_idx, not vcpu_id, for GA log tag/metadata, to make lookups O(1) instead of O(n) - For MMIO stale data mitigation, track whether or not a vCPU has access to (host) MMIO based on whether the page tables have MMIO pfns mapped; using VFIO is prone to false negatives - Rework the MSR interception code so that the SVM and VMX APIs are more or less identical - Recalculate all MSR intercepts from scratch on MSR filter changes, instead of maintaining shadow bitmaps - Advertise support for LKGS (Load Kernel GS base), a new instruction that's loosely related to FRED, but is supported and enumerated independently - Fix a user-triggerable WARN that syzkaller found by setting the vCPU in INIT_RECEIVED state (aka wait-for-SIPI), and then putting the vCPU into VMX Root Mode (post-VMXON). Trying to detect every possible path leading to architecturally forbidden states is hard and even risks breaking userspace (if it goes from valid to valid state but passes through invalid states), so just wait until KVM_RUN to detect that the vCPU state isn't allowed - Add KVM_X86_DISABLE_EXITS_APERFMPERF to allow disabling interception of APERF/MPERF reads, so that a "properly" configured VM can access APERF/MPERF. This has many caveats (APERF/MPERF cannot be zeroed on vCPU creation or saved/restored on suspend and resume, or preserved over thread migration let alone VM migration) but can be useful whenever you're interested in letting Linux guests see the effective physical CPU frequency in /proc/cpuinfo - Reject KVM_SET_TSC_KHZ for vm file descriptors if vCPUs have been created, as there's no known use case for changing the default frequency for other VM types and it goes counter to the very reason why the ioctl was added to the vm file descriptor. And also, there would be no way to make it work for confidential VMs with a "secure" TSC, so kill two birds with one stone - Dynamically allocation the shadow MMU's hashed page list, and defer allocating the hashed list until it's actually needed (the TDP MMU doesn't use the list) - Extract many of KVM's helpers for accessing architectural local APIC state to common x86 so that they can be shared by guest-side code for Secure AVIC - Various cleanups and fixes x86 (Intel): - Preserve the host's DEBUGCTL.FREEZE_IN_SMM when running the guest. Failure to honor FREEZE_IN_SMM can leak host state into guests - Explicitly check vmcs12.GUEST_DEBUGCTL on nested VM-Enter to prevent L1 from running L2 with features that KVM doesn't support, e.g. BTF x86 (AMD): - WARN and reject loading kvm-amd.ko instead of panicking the kernel if the nested SVM MSRPM offsets tracker can't handle an MSR (which is pretty much a static condition and therefore should never happen, but still) - Fix a variety of flaws and bugs in the AVIC device posted IRQ code - Inhibit AVIC if a vCPU's ID is too big (relative to what hardware supports) instead of rejecting vCPU creation - Extend enable_ipiv module param support to SVM, by simply leaving IsRunning clear in the vCPU's physical ID table entry - Disable IPI virtualization, via enable_ipiv, if the CPU is affected by erratum #1235, to allow (safely) enabling AVIC on such CPUs - Request GA Log interrupts if and only if the target vCPU is blocking, i.e. only if KVM needs a notification in order to wake the vCPU - Intercept SPEC_CTRL on AMD if the MSR shouldn't exist according to the vCPU's CPUID model - Accept any SNP policy that is accepted by the firmware with respect to SMT and single-socket restrictions. An incompatible policy doesn't put the kernel at risk in any way, so there's no reason for KVM to care - Drop a superfluous WBINVD (on all CPUs!) when destroying a VM and use WBNOINVD instead of WBINVD when possible for SEV cache maintenance - When reclaiming memory from an SEV guest, only do cache flushes on CPUs that have ever run a vCPU for the guest, i.e. don't flush the caches for CPUs that can't possibly have cache lines with dirty, encrypted data Generic: - Rework irqbypass to track/match producers and consumers via an xarray instead of a linked list. Using a linked list leads to O(n^2) insertion times, which is hugely problematic for use cases that create large numbers of VMs. Such use cases typically don't actually use irqbypass, but eliminating the pointless registration is a future problem to solve as it likely requires new uAPI - Track irqbypass's "token" as "struct eventfd_ctx *" instead of a "void *", to avoid making a simple concept unnecessarily difficult to understand - Decouple device posted IRQs from VFIO device assignment, as binding a VM to a VFIO group is not a requirement for enabling device posted IRQs - Clean up and document/comment the irqfd assignment code - Disallow binding multiple irqfds to an eventfd with a priority waiter, i.e. ensure an eventfd is bound to at most one irqfd through the entire host, and add a selftest to verify eventfd:irqfd bindings are globally unique - Add a tracepoint for KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES to help debug issues related to private <=> shared memory conversions - Drop guest_memfd's .getattr() implementation as the VFS layer will call generic_fillattr() if inode_operations.getattr is NULL - Fix issues with dirty ring harvesting where KVM doesn't bound the processing of entries in any way, which allows userspace to keep KVM in a tight loop indefinitely - Kill off kvm_arch_{start,end}_assignment() and x86's associated tracking, now that KVM no longer uses assigned_device_count as a heuristic for either irqbypass usage or MDS mitigation Selftests: - Fix a comment typo - Verify KVM is loaded when getting any KVM module param so that attempting to run a selftest without kvm.ko loaded results in a SKIP message about KVM not being loaded/enabled (versus some random parameter not existing) - Skip tests that hit EACCES when attempting to access a file, and print a "Root required?" help message.

2025-07-30perf test: Ensure lock contention using pipe modeJan Polensky1-13/+13
The 'kernel lock contention analysis test' requires reliable triggering of lock contention. On some systems, previous benchmark calls failed to generate sufficient contention due to low system activity or resource limits. This patch adds the -p (pipe) option to all calls of perf bench sched messaging, ensuring consistent lock contention without relying on socket-based communication.

2025-07-27perf parse-events: Remove non-json software eventsIan Rogers6-107/+33
Remove the hard coded encodings from parse-events. This has the consequence that software events are matched using the sysfs/json priority, will be case insensitive and will be wildcarded across PMUs. As there were software and hardware types in the parsing code, the removal means software vs hardware logic can be removed and hardware assumed. Now the perf json provides detailed descriptions of software events, remove the previous listing support that didn't contain event descriptions. When globbing is required for the "sw" option in perf list, use string PMU globbing as was done previously for the tool PMU. The output of `perf list sw` command changed like this.

2025-07-25perf session: Add accessor for session->header.envIan Rogers25-107/+120
The perf_env from the header in the session is frequently accessed, add an accessor function rather than access directly. Cache the value to avoid repeated calls. No behavioral change.

2025-07-25perf record: Make --buildid-mmap the defaultIan Rogers4-22/+34
Support for build IDs in mmap2 perf events has been present since Linux v5.12: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210219194619.1780437-1-acme@kernel.org/ Build ID mmap events don't avoid the need to inject build IDs for DSO touched by samples as the build ID cache is populated by perf record. They can avoid some cases of symbol mis-resolution caused by the file system changing from when a sample occurred and when the DSO is sought. Unlike the --buildid-mmap option, this chnage doesn't disable the build ID cache but it does disable the processing of samples looking for DSOs to inject build IDs for. To disable the build ID cache the -B (--no-buildid) option should be used. Making this option the default was raised on the list in: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-perf-users/CAP-5=fXP7jN_QrGUcd55_QH5J-Y-FCaJ6=NaHVtyx0oyNh8_-Q@mail.gmail.com/ Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250724163302.596743-9-irogers@google.com Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org>
2025-07-25perf jitdump: Directly mark the jitdump DSOIan Rogers1-4/+17
The DSO being generated was being accessed through a thread's maps, this is unnecessary as the dso can just be directly found. This avoids problems with passing a NULL evsel which may be inspected to determine properties of a callchain when using the buildid DSO marking code.

2025-07-25perf dso: Move build_id to dso_idIan Rogers14-155/+197
The dso_id previously contained the major, minor, inode and inode generation information from a mmap2 event - the inode generation would be zero when reading from /proc/pid/maps. The build_id was in the dso. With build ID mmap2 events these fields wouldn't be initialized which would largely mean the special empty case where any dso would match for equality. This isn't desirable as if a dso is replaced we want the comparison to yield a difference. To support detecting the difference between DSOs based on build_id, move the build_id out of the DSO and into the dso_id. The dso_id is also stored in the DSO so nothing is lost. Capture in the dso_id what parts have been initialized and rename dso_id__inject to dso_id__improve_id so that it is clear the dso_id is being improved upon with additional information. With the build_id in the dso_id, use memcmp to compare for equality.
