On risc-v, pref probe generates an invalid syntax for a named register in
a kprobe.
$ perf probe --debug verbose --add "n_tty_write tty"
...
Writing event: p:probe/n_tty_write _text+8922528 tty=%"%a0":x64
Failed to write event: Invalid argument
The problem is the combination of
#define REG_DWARFNUM_NAME(reg, idx) [idx] = "%" #reg
and entries such as
REG_DWARFNUM_NAME("%a0", 10)
where #reg will escape the quotes of the first macro parameter.
Update the macro definition to produce the correct syntax for a named
register in a kprobe, i.e. the unquoted register name with only one
leading %.

Opening an SPE event shows a warning that doesn't concern the user:
$ perf record -e arm_spe
Unknown/empty format name: discard
Perf only wants to know if the discard bit is set for configuring the
event, not in response to anything the user has done. Fix it by adding
another helper that returns if a config bit exists without warning.
We should probably keep the warning in evsel__get_config_val() to avoid
having every caller having to do it, and most format bits should never
be missing.
Add a test for the new helper. Rename the parent test function to be
more generic rather than adding a new one as it requires a lot of
boilerplate.

perf trace record fails some cases in powerpc
# perf test "perf trace record and replay"
128: perf trace record and replay : FAILED!

This is happening because of non-zero err value from
auxtrace_record__init() function.
static int record__auxtrace_init(struct record *rec)
{
int err;
if ((rec->opts.auxtrace_snapshot_opts || rec->opts.auxtrace_sample_opts)

return -EINVAL;
}
if (!rec->itr) {
rec->itr = auxtrace_record__init(rec->evlist, &err);
if (err)
return err;
}
Here "int err" is not initialised. The code expects "err" to be set from
auxtrace_record__init() function.
Update auxtrace_record__init() in arch/powerpc/util/auxtrace.c to clear
err value in the beginning.
- Clear err value in beginning of function. Any fail later will
set appropriate return code to err.
- Even if we haven't found any event for auxtrace, perf record
should continue for other events. NULL return
will indicate that there is no auxtrace record initialized.
- Not having "err" set here will affect monitoring of other events
also because perf record will fail seeing random value in err.
Set err to -EINVAL before invoking auxtrace_record__init() in
builtin-record.c

The assignment of strrchr() return values to non-const char * variables
triggers a -Werror=discarded-qualifiers warning when building with GCC
14.
This happens because in newer glibc versions, strrchr() returns a 'const
char *' if the input string is const.
Properly declare 'line2' and 'nl' as const char * to match the glibc
function signature and ensure type safety. This avoids the need for
explicit type casting and aligns with the design pattern of not
modifying read-only memory in the perf tool.

perf test 'perf inject to convert DWARF callchains to regular ones'
fails on s390. It was introduced with commit 92ea788d2a ("perf

The failure comes the difference in output. Without the inject script to
convert DWARF the callchains is:
# perf record -F 999 --call-graph dwarf -- perf test -w noploop
# perf report -i perf.data --stdio --no-children -q \

#
The difference are the symbols __libc_start_call_main and
__libc_start_main_impl.
On x86_64, kernel and user space share a single virtual address space,
with the kernel mapped to the upper end of memory. The instruction
pointer value alone is sufficient to distinguish between user space and
kernel space addresses.
This is not true for s390, which uses separate address spaces for user
and kernel.
The same virtual address can be valid in both address spaces, so the
instruction pointer value alone cannot determine whether an address
belongs to the kernel or user space.
Instead, perf must rely on the cpumode metadata derived from the
processor status word (PSW) at sample time.
In function perf_event__convert_sample_callchain() the first part
copies a kernel callchain and context entries, if any.
It then appends additional entries ignoring the address space
architecture. Taking that into account, the symbols at addresses
0x3ff970348cb __libc_start_call_main
0x3ff970349c5 __libc_start_main_impl
(located after the kernel address space on s390) are now included.
Output before:
# perf test 83
83: perf inject to convert DWARF callchains to regular ones : FAILED!
Output after:
# perf test 83
83: perf inject to convert DWARF callchains to regular ones : Ok
Question to Namhyung:
In function perf_event__convert_sample_callchain() just before the
for() loop this patch modifies, the kernel callchain is copied,
see this comment and the next 5 lines:
/* copy kernel callchain and context entries */
Then why is machine__kernel_ip() needed in the for() loop, when
the kernel entries have been copied just before the loop?
Note: This patch was tested on x86_64 virtual machine and succeeded.

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.

These #defines have been removed from the kernel headers in favour of
the string based PMU format attributes. Usages were previously removed
from the recording side of cs-etm in Perf. Finish the removal by
removing usages from the decode side too.
It's a straight replacement of the old #defines with the new register
bit definitions. Except cs_etm__setup_timeless_decoding() which wasn't
looking at the saved metadata and was instead hard coding an access to
'attr.config'. This was vulnerable to the same issue of .config being
moved to .config2 etc that the original removal of ETM_OPT_* tried to
fix. So fix that too.

Currently, some architecture-specific perf-regs functions, such as
arch__intr_reg_mask() and arch__user_reg_mask(), are defined with the
__weak attribute.
This approach ensures that only functions matching the architecture of
the build/run host are compiled and executed, reducing build time and
binary size.
However, this __weak attribute restricts these functions to be called
only on the same architecture, preventing cross-architecture
functionality.
For example, a perf.data file captured on x86 cannot be parsed on an ARM
platform.
To address this limitation, this patch removes the __weak attribute from
these perf-regs functions.
The architecture-specific code is moved from the arch/ directory to the
util/perf-regs-arch/ directory.
The appropriate architectural functions are then called based on the
EM_HOST.
No functional changes are intended.

- Intel: Updated event files for Sierra Forest, Panther Lake, Meteor
Lake, Lunar Lake, Granite Rapids, and others.
- Arm64: Added metrics for i.MX94 DDR PMU and Cortex-A720AE

- RISC-V: Added JSON support for T-HEAD C920V2.
Misc:
- Improve pointer tracking in data type profiling. It'd give better

root@number:~# perf trace -v -e uprobe
<SNIP>
event qualifier tracepoint filter: (common_pid != 33989) && (id == 336)
^C
root@number#
$ grep -w uprobe tools/perf/arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_64.tbl
336 common uprobe sys_uprobe
$
This addresses these perf build warnings:
Warning: Kernel ABI header differences:
diff -u tools/perf/arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_64.tbl arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_64.tbl
Please see tools/include/uapi/README for further details.

When tracking variable types, instructions that modify a pointer value
in an untracked way can lead to incorrect type propagation. To prevent
this, invalidate the register state when encountering such instructions.
This change invalidates pointer types for various arithmetic and bitwise
operations that current pointer offset tracking doesn't support, like
imul, shl, and, inc, etc.
A special case is added for 'xor reg, reg', which is a common idiom for
zeroing a register. For this, the register state is updated to be a
constant with a value of 0.
This could introduce slight regressions if a variable is zeroed and then
reused. This can be addressed in the future by using all DWARF locations
for instruction tracking instead of only the first one.
