75100d848e perf build: Fix in-tree build due to symbolic link
Building perf in-tree is broken after commit 890a1961c8 ("perf tools:
Create source symlink in perf object dir") which added a 'source' symlink
in the output dir pointing to the source dir.

With in-tree builds, the added 'SOURCE = ...' line is executed multiple
times (I observed 2 during the build plus 2 during installation). This is a
minor inefficiency, in theory not harmful because symlink creation is
assumed to be idempotent. But it is not.

Considering with in-tree builds:

  srctree=/absolute/path/to/linux
   OUTPUT=/absolute/path/to/linux/tools/perf

here's what happens:

 1. ln -sf $(srctree)/tools/perf $(OUTPUT)/source
    -> creates /absolute/path/to/linux/tools/perf/source
       link to /absolute/path/to/linux/tools/perf
    => OK, that's what was intended
 2. ln -sf $(srctree)/tools/perf $(OUTPUT)/source   # same command as 1
    -> creates /absolute/path/to/linux/tools/perf/perf
       link to /absolute/path/to/linux/tools/perf
    => Not what was intended, not idempotent
 3. Now the build _should_ create the 'perf' executable, but it fails

The reason is the tricky 'ln' command line. At the first invocation 'ln'
uses the 1st form:

       ln [OPTION]... [-T] TARGET LINK_NAME

and creates a link to TARGET *called LINK_NAME*.

At the second invocation $(OUTPUT)/source exists, so 'ln' uses the 3rd
form:

       ln [OPTION]... TARGET... DIRECTORY

and creates a link to TARGET *called TARGET* inside DIRECTORY.

Fix by adding -n/--no-dereference to "treat LINK_NAME as a normal file
if it is a symbolic link to a directory", as the manpage says.

e50b291fbb perf arm-spe: Report error if set frequency
When users set the parameter '-F' to specify frequency for Arm SPE, the
tool reports error:

  perf record -F 1000 -e arm_spe_0// -- sleep 1
  Error:
  Invalid event (arm_spe_0//) in per-thread mode, enable system wide with '-a'.

The output logs are confused and it does not give the correct reminding.
Arm SPE does not support frequency setting given it adopts a statistical
based approach.

Alternatively, Arm SPE supports setting period.  This commit adds a
for frequency setting.  It reports error and reminds users to set period
instead.

After:

  perf record -F 1000 -e arm_spe_0// -- sleep 1
  Arm SPE: Frequency is not supported. Set period with -c option or PMU parameter (-e arm_spe_0/period=NUM/).

3c97e7b991 perf lock: Report owner stack in usermode
This patch parses `owner_lock_stat` into a RB tree, enabling ordered

of `-ov`.

425bc88352 perf lock: Retrieve owner callstack in bpf program
This implements per-callstack aggregation of lock owners in addition to
per-thread.  The owner callstack is captured using `bpf_get_task_stack()`
at `contention_begin()` and it also adds a custom stackid function for the
owner stacks to be compared easily.

The owner info is kept in a hash map using lock addr as a key to handle
multiple waiters for the same lock.  At `contention_end()`, it updates the
owner lock stat based on the info that was saved at `contention_begin()`.
If there are more waiters, it'd update the owner pid to itself as
`contention_end()` means it gets the lock now.  But it also needs to check
the return value of the lock function in case task was killed by a signal
or something.

c760174401 perf cpumap: Reduce cpu size from int to int16_t
Fewer than 32k logical CPUs are currently supported by perf. A cpumap
is indexed by an integer (see perf_cpu_map__cpu) yielding a perf_cpu
that wraps a 4-byte int for the logical CPU - the wrapping is done
deliberately to avoid confusing a logical CPU with an index into a
cpumap. Using a 4-byte int within the perf_cpu is larger than required
so this patch reduces it to the 2-byte int16_t. For a cpumap
containing 16 entries this will reduce the array size from 64 to 32
bytes. For very large servers with lots of logical CPUs the size
savings will be greater.

2337b7251d perf trace: Add missing perf_tool__init()
Perf trace on perf.data fails as below:

	./perf trace record -- sleep 1
	./perf trace -i perf.data
	perf: Segmentation fault
	Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Backtrace pointed to :
	?? ()

	reader.read_event ()
	perf_session.process_events ()
	cmd_trace ()
	run_builtin ()
	handle_internal_command ()
	main ()

Further debug pointed that, segmentation fault happens when
trying to access id_index. Code snippet:

	case PERF_RECORD_ID_INDEX:
		err = tool->id_index(session, event);

Since 'commit 15d4a6f41d ("perf tool: Remove
perf_tool__fill_defaults()")', perf_tool__fill_defaults is
removed. All tools are initialized using perf_tool__init()
prior to use. But in builtin-trace, perf_tool__init is not
used and hence the defaults are not initialized. Use
perf_tool__init() in perf trace to handle the initialization.

c9d699e10f perf pmu: Don't double count common sysfs and json events
After pmu_add_cpu_aliases() is called, perf_pmu__num_events() returns an
incorrect value that double counts common events and doesn't match the
actual count of events in the alias list. This is because after
'cpu_aliases_added == true', the number of events returned is
'sysfs_aliases + cpu_json_aliases'. But when adding 'case
EVENT_SRC_SYSFS' events, 'sysfs_aliases' and 'cpu_json_aliases' are both
incremented together, failing to account that these ones overlap and
only add a single item to the list. Fix it by adding another counter for
overlapping events which doesn't influence 'cpu_json_aliases'.

There doesn't seem to be a current issue because it's used in perf list
before pmu_add_cpu_aliases() so the correct value is returned. Other
uses in tests may also miss it for other reasons like only looking at
uncore events. However it's marked as a fixes commit in case any new fix
with new uses of perf_pmu__num_events() is backported.

72c6f57a41 perf pmu: Dynamically allocate tool PMU
perf_pmus__destroy() treats all PMUs as allocated and free's them so we
can't have any static PMUs that are added to the PMU lists. Fix it by
allocating the tool PMU in the same way as the others. Current users of
the tool PMU already use find_pmu() and not perf_pmus__tool_pmu(), so
rename the function to add 'new' to avoid it being misused in the
future.

perf_pmus__fake_pmu() can remain as static as it's not added to the
PMU lists.

556b58c191 perf probe: Pick the correct dwarf die while adding probe points
Perf probe on vfs_fstatat fails as below on a powerpc system

  $ ./perf probe -nf --max-probes=512 -a 'vfs_fstatat $params'
  Segmentation fault (core dumped)

This is observed while running perftool-testsuite_probe testcase.

While running with verbose, its observed that segfault happens
at:

   synthesize_probe_trace_arg ()
   synthesize_probe_trace_command ()
   probe_file.add_event ()
   apply_perf_probe_events ()
   __cmd_probe ()
   cmd_probe ()
   run_builtin ()
   handle_internal_command ()
   main ()

Code in synthesize_probe_trace_arg() access a null value and results in
segfault. Data structure which is null:
struct probe_trace_arg arg->value

We are hitting a case where arg->value is null in probe point:
"vfs_fstatat $params". This is happening since 'commit e896474fe4
("getname_maybe_null() - the third variant of pathname copy-in")'
Before the commit, probe point for vfs_fstatat was getting added only
for one location:

  Writing event: p:probe/vfs_fstatat _text+6345404 dfd=%gpr3:s32 filename=%gpr4:x64 stat=%gpr5:x64 flags=%gpr6:s32

With this change, vfs_fstatat code is inlined for other locations in the
code:
  Probe point found: __do_sys_lstat64+48
  Probe point found: __do_sys_stat64+48
  Probe point found: __do_sys_newlstat+48
  Probe point found: __do_sys_newstat+48
  Probe point found: vfs_fstatat+0

When trying to find matching dwarf information entry (DIE)
from the debuginfo, the code incorrectly picks DIE which is
not referring to vfs_fstatat. Snippet from dwarf entry in vmlinux
debuginfo file.

The main abstract die is:
 <1><4214883>: Abbrev Number: 147 (DW_TAG_subprogram)
    <4214885>   DW_AT_external    : 1
    <4214885>   DW_AT_name        : (indirect string, offset: 0x17b9f3): vfs_fstatat

With formal parameters:
 <2><4214896>: Abbrev Number: 51 (DW_TAG_formal_parameter)
    <4214897>   DW_AT_name        : dfd
 <2><42148a3>: Abbrev Number: 23 (DW_TAG_formal_parameter)
    <42148a4>   DW_AT_name        : (indirect string, offset: 0x8fda9): filename
 <2><42148b0>: Abbrev Number: 23 (DW_TAG_formal_parameter)
    <42148b1>   DW_AT_name        : (indirect string, offset: 0x16bd9c): stat
 <2><42148bd>: Abbrev Number: 23 (DW_TAG_formal_parameter)
    <42148be>   DW_AT_name        : (indirect string, offset: 0x39832b): flags

While collecting variables/parameters for a probe point, the function
copy_variables_cb() also looks at dwarf debug entries based on the
instruction address. Snippet

        if (dwarf_haspc(die_mem, vf->pf->addr))
                return DIE_FIND_CB_CONTINUE;
        else
                return DIE_FIND_CB_SIBLING;

But incase of inlined function instance for vfs_fstatat, there are two
entries which has the instruction address entry point as same.

Instance 1: which is for vfs_fstatat and DW_AT_abstract_origin points to
0x4214883 (reference above for main abstract die)

 <3><42131fa>: Abbrev Number: 59 (DW_TAG_inlined_subroutine)
    <42131fb>   DW_AT_abstract_origin: <0x4214883>
    <42131ff>   DW_AT_entry_pc    : 0xc00000000062b1e0

Instance 2: which is not for vfs_fstatat but for getname

 <5><4213270>: Abbrev Number: 39 (DW_TAG_inlined_subroutine)
    <4213271>   DW_AT_abstract_origin: <0x4215b6b>
    <4213275>   DW_AT_entry_pc    : 0xc00000000062b1e0

But the copy_variables_cb() continues to add parameters from second
instance also based on the dwarf_haspc() check. This results in
formal parameters for getname also appended to params. But while
filling in the args->value for these parameters, since these args
are not part of dwarf with offset "42131fa". Hence value will be
null. This incorrect args results in segfault when value field is
accessed.

Save the dwarf dieoffset of the actual DW_TAG_subprogram as part of
"struct probe_finder". In copy_variables_cb(), include check to make
sure the DW_AT_abstract_origin points to the correct entry if the
dwarf_haspc() matches the instruction address.

4a75e8c3b2 perf ftrace latency: variable histogram buckets
The max-latency value can make the histogram smaller, but not larger, we
have a maximum of 22 buckets and specifying a max-latency that would
require more buckets has no effect.

Dynamically allocate the buckets and compute the bucket number from the
max latency as (max-min) / range + 2

If the maximum is not specified, we still set the bucket number to 22
and compute the maximum accordingly.

Fail if the maximum is smaller than min+range, this way we make sure we
always have 3 buckets: those below min, those above max and one in the
middle.

Since max-latency is not available in log2 mode, always use 22 buckets.

d118b08f7e tools lib api: Add io_dir an allocation free readdir alternative
glibc's opendir allocates a minimum of 32kb, when called recursively
for a directory tree the memory consumption can add up - nearly 300kb
during perf start-up when processing modules. Add a stack allocated
variant of readdir sized a little more than 1kb.

As getdents64 may be missing from libc, add support using syscall. As
the system call number maybe missing, add #defines for those.

Note, an earlier version of this patch had a feature test for
getdents64 but there were problems on certains distros where
getdents64 would be #define renamed to getdents breaking the code. The
syscall use was made uncondtional to work around this. There is

7e05269ba8 perf parse-events: Tidy name token matching
Prior to commit 70c90e4a6b ("perf parse-events: Avoid scanning PMUs
before parsing") names (generally event names) excluded hyphen (minus)
symbols as the formation of legacy names with hyphens was handled in
the yacc code. That commit allowed hyphens supposedly making
name_minus unnecessary. However, changing name_minus to name has
issues in the term config tokens as then name ends up having priority
over numbers and name allows matching numbers since commit
5ceb57990b ("perf parse: Allow tracepoint names to start with digits
"). It is also permissable for a name to match with a colon (':') in
it when its in a config term list. To address this rename name_minus
to term_name, make the pattern match name's except for the colon, add
number matching into the config term region with a higher priority
than name matching. This addresses an inconsistency and allows greater
matching for names inside of term lists, for example, they may start
with a number.

Rename name_tag to quoted_name and update comments and helper
functions to avoid str detecting quoted strings which was already done
by the lexer.

4bac7fb586 perf tools: Improve startup time by reducing unnecessary stat() calls
When testing perf trace on NixOS, I noticed significant startup delays:
- `ls`: ~2ms
- `strace ls`: ~10ms
- `perf trace ls`: ~550ms

Profiling showed that 51% of the time is spent reading files,
26% in loading BPF programs, and 11% in `newfstatat`.

This patch optimizes module path exploration by avoiding `stat()` calls
unless necessary. For filesystems that do not implement `d_type`
(DT_UNKNOWN), it falls back to the old behavior.
See `readdir(3)` for details.

This reduces `perf trace ls` time to ~500ms.

A more thorough startup optimization based on command parameters would
be ideal, but that is a larger effort.

acda4c2001 perf report: Support switching data w/ and w/o callchains
The symbol_conf.use_callchain should be reset when switching to new data
file, otherwise report__setup_sample_type() will show an error message
that it enabled callchains but no callchain data.  The function also
will turn on the callchains if the data has PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN so I
think it's ok to reset symbol_conf.use_callchain here.

43c2b6139b perf report: Switch data file correctly in TUI
The 's' key is to switch to a new data file and load the data in the
same window.  The switch_data_file() will show a popup menu to select
which data file user wants and update the 'input_name' global variable.

But in the cmd_report(), it didn't update the data.path using the new
'input_name' and keep usng the old file.  This is fairly an old bug and
I assume people don't use this feature much. :)

0cced76a02 perf tools: Fix up some comments and code to properly use the event_source bus
In sysfs, the perf events are all located in
/sys/bus/event_source/devices/ but some places ended up hard-coding the
location to be at the root of /sys/devices/ which could be very risky as
you do not exactly know what type of device you are accessing in sysfs
at that location.

So fix this all up by properly pointing everything at the bus device
list instead of the root of the sysfs devices/ tree.

2ed0e3ea8a perf vendor events arm64: Fix incorrect CPU_CYCLE in metrics expr
Some existing metrics for Neoverse N3 and V3 expressions use CPU_CYCLE

29bab85418 perf script: Fix hangup in offline flamegraph report
A recent change in the flamegraph script fixed an issue with live mode
but it created another for offline mode.  It needs to pass "-" to -i
option to read from stdin in the live mode.  Actually there's a logic
to pass the option in the perf script code, but the script was written
with "-- $@" which prevented the option to go to the perf script.  So
the previous commit added the hard-coded "-i -" to the report command.

But it's a problem for the offline mode which expects input from a file
and now it's stuck on reading from stdin.  Let's remove the "-i - --"
part and let it pass the options properly to perf script.

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20250103182532.GB781381@e132581.arm.com/

As feature detection passes -Wconversion from CFLAGS when set, the
feature detection compile tests need to not fail because of
-Wconversion as the failure will be interpretted as a missing
feature. Switch various types to avoid the -Wconversion issue, the
exact meaning of the code is unimportant as it is typically looking
for header file definitions.

dc6d2bc2d8 perf sample: Make user_regs and intr_regs optional
The struct dump_regs contains 512 bytes of cache_regs, meaning the two
values in perf_sample contribute 1088 bytes of its total 1384 bytes
size. Initializing this much memory has a cost reported by Tavian
Barnes <tavianator@tavianator.com> as about 2.5% when running `perf
script --itrace=i0`:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/d841b97b3ad2ca8bcab07e4293375fb7c32dfce7.1736618095.git.tavianator@tavianator.com/

Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> replied that the zero
initialization was necessary and couldn't simply be removed.

This patch aims to strike a middle ground of still zeroing the
perf_sample, but removing 79% of its size by make user_regs and
intr_regs optional pointers to zalloc-ed memory. To support the
allocation accessors are created for user_regs and intr_regs. To
support correct cleanup perf_sample__init and perf_sample__exit
functions are created and added throughout the code base.
