2026-01-20perf inject: Add --convert-callchain optionNamhyung Kim2-0/+157
There are applications not built with frame pointers, so DWARF is needed to get the stack traces. `perf record --call-graph dwarf` saves the stack and register data for each sample to get the stacktrace offline. But sometimes this data may have sensitive information and we don't want to keep them in the file. This new 'perf inject --convert-callchain' option creates the callchains and discards the stack and register after that. This saves storage space and processing time for the new data file. Of course, users should remove the original data file to not keep sensitive data around. :) The down side is that it cannot handle inlined callchain entries as they all have the same IPs. Maybe we can add an option to 'perf report' to look up inlined functions using DWARF - IIUC it doesn't require stack and register data. This is an example. $ perf record --call-graph dwarf -- perf test -w noploop $ perf report --stdio --no-children --percent-limit=0 > output-prev $ perf inject -i perf.data --convert-callchain -o perf.data.out $ perf report --stdio --no-children --percent-limit=0 -i perf.data.out > output-next $ diff -u output-prev output-next ... 0.23% perf ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 [.] _dl_relocate_object_no_relro | - ---elf_dynamic_do_Rela (inlined) - _dl_relocate_object_no_relro + ---_dl_relocate_object_no_relro _dl_relocate_object dl_main _dl_sysdep_start - _dl_start_final (inlined) _dl_start _start Reviewed-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com> Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Cc: James Clark <james.clark@linaro.org> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

2026-01-20perf unwind-libdw: Don't discard loaded ELF/DWARF after every unwindIan Rogers4-27/+112
The unwind-libdw dwfl has ELF binaries associated with mmap addresses. Experimenting with using the per dso dwfl it is required to alter the address to be 0 based variant. Unfortunately libdwfl doesn't allow a single unwind and then an update to the return address to be 0 based as there are assertions that registers aren't updated once an unwind has started, etc. As removing the dwfl didn't prove possible, an alternative is to just not discard the dwfl when the unwind ends. The dwfl is valid for a process unless a dso is loaded at the same address as a previous one. So keep the dwfl with the maps, invalidate it if a map is removed (in case a new map replaces it) and recycle the dwfl in the unwinding code. A wrinkly in the implementation of this is that the attached thread argument is remembered by the dwfl and so it needs to be a pointer to memory that also persists with the dwfl (struct dwfl_ui_thread_info in the code). Recording 10 seconds of system wide data with --call-graph=dwarf and then processing with perf report shows a total runtime improvement from 41.583s to 2.279s (an 18x speedup).

Libdw unwinding support is present for every architecture that has a perf_regs.h - perf registers are needed for the initial frame to unwind. Elfutils also supports SPARC, ARC and m68k but there is no support in the Linux kernel for perf registers on these architectures. As the perf supported DWARF unwinding architectures are a subset of the elfutils ones, remove NO_LIBDW_DWARF_UNWIND as there isn't a case of elfutils lacking the support need for perf.

2026-01-20perf dwarf-regs: Add get_dwarf_regnum_for_perf_regnum() and use for x86 ↵Ian Rogers7-63/+222
unwinding Add a utility to map a perf register number to a DWARF register number for a particular ELF machine type. Create a generic unwind-libdw initial register initialization routine that uses this function and thereby avoids arch specific initialization. The unwind-libdw code does: 1) compute the maximum DWARF register from the set of sampled user registers, 2) allocates a set of DWARF registers, 3) copies the sample registers into the appropriate DWARF registers. This generic solution is initially implemented for use with x86 as only get_dwarf_regnum_for_perf_regnum() support for x86 is currently present.

2026-01-20perf dwarf-regs: Clean up x86 dwarf_regnum codeIan Rogers3-12/+129
The i386 and x86-64 register numbers differ on x86, but previously x86 was a single arch string and so this couldn't be handled. The transition to using ELF EM_* values means we can translate x86 registers correctly for either the x86-64 dwarf register mappings (from the System V ABI) or i386 register mappings. Correct the mappings.

2026-01-20perf powerpc: Unify the skip-callchain-idx libdw with that for addr2lineIan Rogers6-103/+89
Rather than have 2 Dwfl unify the Dwfl in skip-callchain-idx with that is used by libdw__addr2line(). Rename that variable in 'struct dso' from 'a2l_libdw' to just 'libdw' as it is now used in more than addr2line. The Dwfl in skip-callchain-idx uses a map address when being read with dwfl_report_elf (rather than dwfl_report_offline that addr2line uses). skip-callchain-idx is wrong as the map address can vary between processes because of ASLR, ie it should need a different Dwfl per process. In the code after this patch the base address becomes 0 and the mapped PC is used with the dwfl functions. This should increase the accuracy of skip-callchain-idx, but the impact has only been build tested.

The set_initial_registers field of Dwfl_Thread_Callbacks needs to be set according to the arch of the stack samples being analyzed, not the arch that perf itself is built for. Currently perf fails to unwind stack samples collected from archs different from that of the host perf is running on. This patch moves the arch-specific implementations of set_initial_registers from tools/perf/arch to tools/perf/utli/unwind-libdw-arch, similar to the way the perf-regs-arch folder contains arch-specific functions related to registers, and chooses the implementation based on the arch of the data being processed.

The kernel will also stop publishing the ETMCR register bits in a header [1] so preempt that by defining them here. Move field_prep() to util.h so we can define it along side field_get(). Unfortunately FIELD_PREP() and FIELD_GET() from the kernel can't be used as they require the mask to be a compile time constant.

2026-01-15perf parse-events: Always track user config changesJames Clark1-6/+2
Requiring the 'pmu->perf_event_attr_init_default' callback to be set to track user changes is a bit of a trap to fall in. It's hard to see that this is required when depending on the user change tracking. It's possible to want all 0 defaults so not set it, but at the same time still do some programmatic setting of configs with evsel__set_config_if_unset(). Also if a PMU reverts to 0 defaults and deletes its existing callback, it will silently break existing uses of evsel__set_config_if_unset(). One way to fix this would be to assert in evsel__set_config_if_unset() if the changes weren't tracked, but that would be a possibly untested runtime failure. Instead, always track it as it's harmless and simplifies testing too.

Misleadingly, evsel__set_config_if_unset() only works with the config field and not config1, config2, etc. This is fine at the moment because all users of it happen to operate on bits that are in that config field. Fix it before there are any new users of the function which operate on bits in different config fields. In theory it's also possible for a driver to move an existing bit to another config field and this fixes that scenario too, although this hasn't happened yet either.

2026-01-15perf parse-events: Refactor get_config_terms() to remove macrosJames Clark2-61/+86
The ADD_CONFIG_TERM() macros build the __type argument out of a partial EVSEL__CONFIG_TERM_x enum name. This means that they can't be called from a function where __type is a variable and it's also impossible to grep the codebase to find usages of these enums as they're never typed in full. Fix this by removing the macros and replacing them with an add_config_term() function. It seems the main reason these existed in the first place was to avoid type punning and to write to a specific field in the union, but the same thing can be achieved with a single write to a u64 'val' field. Running the Perf tests with "-fsanitize=undefined -fno-sanitize-recover" results in no new issues as a result of this change.
