When test descriptions are extremely long (e.g., the truncated perf.data
graceful handling test is 103 characters long), they wrap across terminal
boundaries.
Because the ANSI escape code to delete the line (PERF_COLOR_DELETE_LINE)
only clears a single terminal line, visual wrapping leaves orphan
wrapped lines on the screen, which results in the test description being
printed multiple times.
Resolve this by checking the terminal width (get_term_dimensions) and
dynamically truncating the printed test description to fit within the
available columns, leaving safety space for the prefix index and status
suffix.
Also, remove the width padding from the test suite headers which do not
display inline status messages. This prevents their trailing colons from
wrapping onto new lines on standard width terminals.
Finally, avoid GCC 16's -Wformat-truncation warnings by delegating the
description padding to pr_info's %-*s format specifier instead of padding
within a temporary buffer, and clamp the truncation limit to the temporary
buffer's size.
JUnit XML output and the failure summary report still print the full,
untruncated test descriptions.

symbol-minimal.c's read_build_id() iterates ELF notes with the same
pattern as symbol-elf.c's elf_read_build_id(): pointer arithmetic
driven by n_namesz and n_descsz from 32-bit note header fields,
without validating that the name and desc fit within the note section
data. A malformed ELF file with oversized note sizes causes
out-of-bounds reads past the section data buffer.
Add the same bounds check as the libelf path: validate namesz and

hwmon_pmu__read_events() reads label files with read() into a stack
buffer, strips trailing newlines, then checks buf[0] == '\0'. When

written, so buf[0] reads uninitialized stack memory. If the garbage

filename__decompress() has an early return path for files that are not

never writes to the pathname output parameter, leaving the caller with
an uninitialized buffer despite a successful return.
Callers like dso__decompress_kmodule_path() pass pathname to
decompress_kmodule() which uses it to set the decompressed file path.
If pathname is uninitialized, subsequent operations on the path produce
undefined behavior.
Fix by setting pathname to an empty string on the uncompressed path.
Callers already check for an empty pathname to distinguish temporary

thread__set_comm_from_proc() calls procfs__read_str() then strips

allocates the buffer before reading, so on an empty /proc/pid/comm

The sz - 1 underflow was the original sashiko finding: it writes a
null byte before the allocation. But even with a sz > 0 guard on
the newline strip, the unterminated buffer would still be passed to
thread__set_comm() which calls strlen() — an unbounded heap read.

sysfs__read_build_id() reads ELF note headers from sysfs files. The
note's namesz and descsz fields are used to compute the skip size:
int n = namesz + descsz;
if (n > (int)sizeof(bf))
Both namesz and descsz are size_t from NOTE_ALIGN() of 32-bit note
header fields. Their sum can exceed INT_MAX, overflowing the signed
int n to a negative value. The check n > sizeof(bf) then evaluates
false (negative < positive in signed comparison), and read(fd, bf, n)
reinterprets the negative n as a huge size_t count — the kernel writes
up to MAX_RW_COUNT bytes into the 8192-byte stack buffer.
In practice the overflow is bounded by the sysfs file's actual size,
so a real sysfs notes file won't trigger it organically. But crafted
input (e.g. via a mounted debugfs/sysfs image) could.
Fix by validating namesz and descsz individually against the buffer
size before summing, and change n to size_t to avoid the signed
overflow entirely.

It's not obvious what this test is for so remove it. It's not a stress
test because it doesn't output lots of data and it's not a functional
test because it only looks for raw trace output. It seems to imply that
a program written in assembly influences whether trace would be
generated by the CPU or not, but the CPU doesn't know what language the
program is written in.
We already have lots of Coresight tests that test the full pipeline
including decoding, and in many more modes of operation than this one,
so if no trace was collected they will already fail leaving this one
redundant.

PE_CONTEXT elements update the context ID and exception level, but the
decoder may still have prior packets cached for frontend processing.
Updating the context immediately in the decoder backend can make those
cached packets get consumed with the wrong thread or EL state.
Add a CS_ETM_CONTEXT packet carrying the TID and EL to the frontend,
this keeps context changes ordered with the rest of the packet stream
and avoids mismatches when synthesizing samples from cached packets.
Separate the memory access function into one for the frontend and one
for decoding. The frontend also needs memory access to attach the
instruction to samples. Because the frontend does memory access for
both previous and current packets, change all the frontend memory access
function signatures to take both a tidq and packet. But backend always
uses the current backend EL and thread from the tidq.
Treat context packets as a boundary for branch sample generation and
remove tidq->prev_packet_thread because it's not possible to branch to a
different thread, so only tracking the current thread is required for
sample generation.

Replace snprintf with scnprintf in buffer offset calculations to
ensure the 'used' count will not exceed the "len".
The current logic in perf_pmu__for_each_event uses an unconditional
+ 1 increment to buf_used to account for null terminators. This can
cause a stack buffer overflow in the subsequent scnprintf call.
When the local stack buffer buf (1024 bytes) is full, buf_used can
reach 1025. This causes the subsequent remaining space calculation
sizeof(buf) - buf_used to underflow.
Use sub_non_neg() to see if space actually existed, and only
increment the offset if remaining space is present.
Changes includes:
- Use sub_non_neg to check if space exists
- Replacing snprintf with scnprintf to ensure the return value
reflects the actual bytes written into the buffer.
- Only increment buf_used by 1 if space exists
- If a parameterized event uses a built-in perf keyword for its
parameter name (eg, config=?), the lexer parses it as a predefined
term token, which sets term->config to NULL. Add check to use
parse_events__term_type_str() if term->config is NULL.

The format_alias() function in util/pmu.c has a check to
detect whether the event has parameterized field ( =? ).
The string alias->terms contains the event and if the event
has user configurable parameter, there will be presence of
sub string "=?" in the alias->terms.
Snippet of code:
/* Paramemterized events have the parameters shown. */
if (strstr(alias->terms, "=?")) {
/* No parameters. */
snprintf(buf, len, "%.*s/%s/", (int)pmu_name_len, pmu->name, alias->name);
if "strstr" contains the substring, it returns a pointer
and hence enters the above check which is not the expected
check. And hence "perf list" doesn't have the parameterized
fields in the result.
Fix this check to use:
if (!strstr(alias->terms, "=?")) {
With this change, perf list shows the events correctly with
the strings showing parameters.
Before the fix:
# ./perf list|grep -w PM_PAU_CYC
hv_24x7/PM_PAU_CYC/ [Kernel PMU event]
With this fix:
# ./perf list|grep -w PM_PAU_CYC
hv_24x7/PM_PAU_CYC,chip=?/ [Kernel PMU event]

On s390 the Python extension build fails as follows when using a linker
that is configured to treat text relocations (TEXTREL) in shared
libraries as error by default:
GEN python/perf.cpython-314-s390x-linux-gnu.so
/usr/bin/ld.bfd: error: read-only segment has dynamic relocations
This occurrs because util/llvm-c-helpers.o is erroneously built from
util/llvm-c-helpers.cpp without compiler option -fPIC but linked into
the shared library (via libperf-util.a(perf-util-in.o)).
On s390, object files must be compiled as position-indepedent code (PIC)
in order to be linked into shared libraries. Commit a9a3f1d18a ("perf
s390: Always build with -fPIC") added compiler option -fPIC to CFLAGS
for s390, which is used in C compiles. Add -fPIC to CXXFLAGS for s390
as well, so that it is also used in C++ compiles.
Fixes: a9a3f1d18a ("perf s390: Always build with -fPIC")

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 %.

build_id__snprintf() and hwmon_pmu__read_events() accumulate formatted
output via snprintf(), which returns the would-have-been-written count
on truncation. In build_id__snprintf(), this inflates the return
value beyond the buffer size. In hwmon_pmu__read_events(), len
overshoots out_buf_len and the next 'out_buf_len - len' underflows.
Switch both to scnprintf() which returns actual bytes written.
In build_id__snprintf(), also tighten the loop guard from
'offs < bf_size' to 'offs + 1 < bf_size': since scnprintf() returns
at most size-1, offs never reaches bf_size, and the original condition
would spin doing zero-byte writes once the buffer fills.

hists__scnprintf_title() accumulates formatted output into a buffer
using scnprintf() for all filter clauses except the UID filter, which
uses snprintf(). If the buffer fills up and snprintf() returns more
than the remaining space, printed exceeds size and the next 'size -
printed' underflows, causing later scnprintf() calls to write past
the buffer.
Switch the UID filter clause to scnprintf() to match the rest of the
function.
