The recent introduction of the libopenssl feature test forgot to add the
-lssl to the test-all.o target, which made it always fail, fix it.
Noticed by looking at this file after building:
$ cat /tmp/build/perf-tools/feature/test-all.make.output
/usr/bin/ld: /tmp/ccBhO8WH.ltrans0.ltrans.o: in function `main':
/home/acme/git/perf-tools/tools/build/feature/test-libopenssl.c:6:(.text.startup+0x2ed): undefined reference to `OPENSSL_init_ssl'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
$
It was added only to the individual ssl test, that works:
$ cat /tmp/build/perf-tools/feature/test-libopenssl.make.output
$ ldd /tmp/build/perf-tools/feature/test-libopenssl.bin | grep ssl
libssl.so.3 => /usr/lib64/libssl.so.3 (0x00007fb81eda8000)

"Perf event/metric description:
Unify all event and metric descriptions in JSON format. Now event
parsing and handling is greatly simplified by that.
From users point of view, perf list will provide richer information
about hardware events like the following.
$ perf list hw
List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e or -M):
legacy hardware:
branch-instructions
[Retired branch instructions [This event is an alias of branches]. Unit: cpu]
branch-misses
[Mispredicted branch instructions. Unit: cpu]
branches
[Retired branch instructions [This event is an alias of branch-instructions]. Unit: cpu]
bus-cycles
[Bus cycles,which can be different from total cycles. Unit: cpu]
cache-misses
[Cache misses. Usually this indicates Last Level Cache misses; this is intended to be used in conjunction with the
PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_REFERENCES event to calculate cache miss rates. Unit: cpu]
cache-references
[Cache accesses. Usually this indicates Last Level Cache accesses but this may vary depending on your CPU. This may include
prefetches and coherency messages; again this depends on the design of your CPU. Unit: cpu]
cpu-cycles
[Total cycles. Be wary of what happens during CPU frequency scaling [This event is an alias of cycles]. Unit: cpu]

But most notable changes would be in the perf stat. On the right side,
the default metrics are better named and aligned. :)

Deferred unwinding support:
With the kernel support (commit c69993ecdd: "perf: Support deferred
user unwind"), perf can use deferred callchains for userspace stack
trace with frame pointers like below:
$ perf record --call-graph fp,defer ...
This will be transparent to users when it comes to other commands like
perf report and perf script. They will merge the deferred callchains
to the previous samples as if they were collected together.
ARM SPE updates
- Extensive enhancements to support various kinds of memory
operations including GCS, MTE allocation tags, memcpy/memset,
register access, and SIMD operations.
- Add inverted data source filter (inv_data_src_filter) support to
exclude certain data sources.
- Improve documentation.
Vendor event updates:
- 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
definitions.
- RISC-V: Added JSON support for T-HEAD C920V2.
Misc:
- Improve pointer tracking in data type profiling. It'd give better
output when the variable is using container_of() to convert type.
- Annotation support for perf c2c report in TUI. Press 'a' key to
enter annotation view from cacheline browser window. This will show
which instruction is causing the cacheline contention.

perf doesn't use libtracefs and so it doesn't make sense to assume it is
always available when building test-all.bin, defeating the feature check
speedup it provides.
The other tools/build/ users such as rtla, rv, etc call $(feature_check
libtracefs) to check its availability instead of using the test-all.bin
mechanism, stopping the build and asking for libtracefs-devel to be
installed.
Remove it from FEATURE_TESTS_BASIC to not have it as available, as noted
by Ian Rogers during review.

If libperl is installed then the perf tool build will build against
it. There appears to be limited interest in the scripting support for
perl so let's make it opt-in and deprecate it.
With this patch applied you need to add LIBPERL=1 to get libperl
support in perf - there is no warning if libperl is missing, but
building will fail if libperl is missing and the build has LIBPERL=1.
The perf version output is changed to:

This creates a config option that detects libbpf's ability to display
character arrays as strings, which was just added to the BPF tree
(https://git.kernel.org/bpf/bpf-next/c/87c9c79a02b4).
To test this change, I built perf (from later in this patch set) with:
- static libbpf (default, using source from kernel tree)
- dynamic libbpf (LIBBPF_DYNAMIC=1 LIBBPF_INCLUDE=/usr/local/include)
For both the static and dynamic versions, I used headers with and without
the ".emit_strings" option.
I verified that of the four resulting binaries, the two with
".emit_strings" would successfully record BPF_METADATA events, and the two
without wouldn't. All four binaries would successfully display
BPF_METADATA events, because the relevant bit of libbpf code is only used
during "perf record".

Pull perf tools updates from Namhyung Kim:
"perf record:
- Introduce latency profiling using scheduler information.
The latency profiling is to show impacts on wall-time rather than
cpu-time. By tracking context switches, it can weight samples and
find which part of the code contributed more to the execution
latency.
The value (period) of the sample is weighted by dividing it by the
number of parallel execution at the moment. The parallelism is
tracked in perf report with sched-switch records. This will reduce
the portion that are run in parallel and in turn increase the
portion of serial executions.
For now, it's limited to profile processes, IOW system-wide
profiling is not supported. You can add --latency option to enable
this.
$ perf record --latency -- make -C tools/perf
I've run the above command for perf build which adds -j option to
make with the number of CPUs in the system internally. Normally
it'd show something like below:
$ perf report -F overhead,comm
...
#
# Overhead Command
# ........ ...............
#
78.97% cc1
6.54% python3
4.21% shellcheck
3.28% ld
1.80% as
1.37% cc1plus
0.80% sh
0.62% clang
0.56% gcc
0.44% perl
0.39% make
...
The cc1 takes around 80% of the overhead as it's the actual
compiler. However it runs in parallel so its contribution to
latency may be less than that. Now, perf report will show both
overhead and latency (if --latency was given at record time) like
below:
$ perf report -s comm
...
#
# Overhead Latency Command
# ........ ........ ...............
#
78.97% 48.66% cc1
6.54% 25.68% python3
4.21% 0.39% shellcheck
3.28% 13.70% ld
1.80% 2.56% as
1.37% 3.08% cc1plus
0.80% 0.98% sh
0.62% 0.61% clang
0.56% 0.33% gcc
0.44% 1.71% perl
0.39% 0.83% make
...
You can see latency of cc1 goes down to around 50% and python3 and
ld contribute a lot more than their overhead. You can use --latency
option in perf report to get the same result but ordered by
latency.
$ perf report --latency -s comm
perf report:
- As a side effect of the latency profiling work, it adds a new
output field 'latency' and a sort key 'parallelism'. The below is a
result from my system with 64 CPUs. The build was well-parallelized
but contained some serial portions.
$ perf report -s parallelism
...
#
# Overhead Latency Parallelism
# ........ ........ ...........
#
16.95% 1.54% 62
13.38% 1.24% 61
12.50% 70.47% 1
11.81% 1.06% 63
7.59% 0.71% 60
4.33% 12.20% 2
3.41% 0.33% 59
2.05% 0.18% 64
1.75% 1.09% 9
1.64% 1.85% 5
...
- Support Feodra mini-debuginfo which is a LZMA compressed symbol
table inside ".gnu_debugdata" ELF section.
perf annotate:
- Add --code-with-type option to enable data-type profiling with the
usual annotate output.
Instead of focusing on data structure, it shows code annotation
together with data type it accesses in case the instruction refers
to a memory location (and it was able to resolve the target data
type). Currently it only works with --stdio.
$ perf annotate --stdio --code-with-type

Python support:
- Add more interfaces to 'perf' module to parse events, and config,
enable or disable the event list properly so that it can implement
basic functionalities purely in Python. There is an example code
for these new interfaces in python/tracepoint.py.
- Add mypy and pylint support to enable build time checking. Fix some
code based on the findings from these tools.
Internals:
- Introduce io_dir__readdir() API to make directory traveral (usually
for proc or sysfs) efficient with less memory footprint.

- Add events and metrics for ARM Neoverse N3 and V3
- Update events and metrics on various Intel CPUs
- Add/update events for a number of SiFive processors"

The feature test for system bpftool uses BPFTOOL as the variable to set
its path, defaulting to just "bpftool" if not set by the user.
This conflicts with selftests and a few other utilities, which expect
BPFTOOL to be set to the in-tree bpftool path by default. For example,
bpftool selftests fail to build:
$ make -C tools/testing/selftests/bpf/
make: Entering directory '/home/tglozar/dev/linux/tools/testing/selftests/bpf'
make: *** No rule to make target 'bpftool', needed by '/home/tglozar/dev/linux/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/tools/include/vmlinux.h'. Stop.
make: Leaving directory '/home/tglozar/dev/linux/tools/testing/selftests/bpf'
Fix the problem by renaming the variable used for system bpftool from
BPFTOOL to SYSTEM_BPFTOOL, so that the new usage does not conflict with
the existing one of BPFTOOL.

Since these are so far considered part of the basic set of libraries to
be present when building perf, have then in
tools/build/features/test-all.c.
They were already in the FEATURE_TESTS_BASIC variable of
tools/build/Makefile.feature, meaning if test-all.c builds, those
features would be set as present, but then we were calling "again"
(well, they were not in test-all.c, so were not really being tested) for
it to be detected, fix this all up by not calling feature_check for
those features but instead have them in test-all.c to be tested together
with the the set of basic expected libraries.

Since 13e17c9ff4 ("perf build: Make libunwind opt-in rather than
opt-out"), so we shouldn't by default be testing for its availability at
build time in tools/build/features/test-all.c.
That test was designed to test the features we expect to be the most
common ones in most builds, so if we test build just that file, then we
assume the features there are present and will not test one by one.
Removing it from test-all.c gets rid of the first impediment for
test-all.c to build successfully:
$ cat /tmp/build/perf-tools-next/feature/test-all.make.output
In file included from test-all.c:62:
test-libunwind.c:2:10: fatal error: libunwind.h: No such file or directory
2 | #include <libunwind.h>
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
$
We then get to:
$ cat /tmp/build/perf-tools-next/feature/test-all.make.output
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lunwind-x86_64: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lunwind: No such file or directory
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
$
So make all the logic related to setting CFLAGS, LDFLAGS, etc for
libunwind to be conditional on NO_LIBWUNWIND=1, which is now the
default, now we get a faster build:

Pull perf tools updates from Namhyung Kim:
"perf record:
- Enable leader sampling for inherited task events. It was supported
only for system-wide events but the kernel started to support such
a setup since v6.12.
This is to reduce the number of PMU interrupts. The samples of the
leader event will contain counts of other events and no samples
will be generated for the other member events.
$ perf record -e '{cycles,instructions}:S' ${MYPROG}
perf report:
- Fix --branch-history option to display more branch-related
information like prediction, abort and cycles which is available
on Intel machines.

perf stat:
- Add HWMON PMU support.
The HWMON provides various system information like CPU/GPU
temperature, fan speed and so on. Expose them as PMU events so that
users can see the values using perf stat commands.
$ perf stat -e temp_cpu,fan1 true
Performance counter stats for 'true':

- Display metric threshold in JSON output.
Some metrics define thresholds to classify value ranges. It used to
be in a different color but it won't work for JSON.
Add "metric-threshold" field to the JSON that can be one of "good",
"less good", "nearly bad" and "bad".

Build:
- Make libunwind opt-in (LIBUNWIND=1) rather than opt-out.
The perf tools are generally built with libelf and libdw which has
unwinder functionality. The libunwind support predates it and no
need to have duplicate unwinders by default.
- Rename NO_DWARF=1 build option to NO_LIBDW=1 in order to clarify
it's using libdw for handling DWARF information.
Internals:
- Do not set exclude_guest bit in the perf_event_attr by default.
This was causing a trouble in AMD IBS PMU as it doesn't support the
bit. The bit will be set when it's needed later by the fallback
logic. Also update the missing feature detection logic to make sure
not clear supported bits unnecessarily.
- Run perf test in parallel by default and mark flaky tests
"exclusive" to run them serially at the end. Some test numbers are
changed but the test can complete in less than half the time.
JSON vendor events:
- Add AMD Zen 5 events and metrics.
- Add i.MX91 and i.MX95 DDR metrics
- Fix HiSilicon HIP08 Topdown metric name.
- Support compat events on PowerPC"

Ian pointed out that the libcap feature test is also used by bpftool, so
we can't remove it just because perf stopped using it, revert the
removal of the feature test.
Since both perf and libcap uses the fast path feature detection
(tools/build/feature/test-all.c), probably the best thing is to keep
libcap-devel when building perf even it not being used there.
This reverts commit 47b3b6435e.

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lcap: No such file or directory
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
$
The patch removing the dependency (Fixes tag below) didn't remove the
detection of libcap, and as the fast path feature detection (test-all.c)
had -lcap in its Makefile link list of libraries to link, it was failing
when libcap-devel is not available, fix it by removing those leftover
files.

The capstone devel headers define 'struct bpf_insn' in a way that clashes with
what is in the libbpf devel headers, so we so far need to avoid including both.
This is happening on the tools/build/feature/test-all.c file, where we try
building all the expected set of libraries to be normally available on a
system:
⬢[acme@toolbox perf-tools-next]$ cat /tmp/build/perf-tools-next/feature/test-all.make.output
In file included from test-bpf.c:3,
from test-all.c:150:
/home/acme/git/perf-tools-next/tools/include/uapi/linux/bpf.h:77:8: error: ‘bpf_insn’ defined as wrong kind of tag
77 | struct bpf_insn {
| ^~~~~~~~
⬢[acme@toolbox perf-tools-next]$ cat /tmp/build/perf-tools-next/feature/test-all.make.output
When doing so there is a trick where we define main to be
main_test_libcapstone, then include the individual
tools/build/feture/test-libcapstone.c capability query test, and then we undef
'main' because we'll do it all over again with the next expected library to
be tested (at this time 'lzma').
To complete this mechanism we need to, in test-all.c 'main' routine, to
call main_test_libcapstone(), which isn't being done, so the effect of
adding references to capstone in test-all.c are not achieved.
The only thing that is happening is that test-all.c is failing to build and thus
all the tests will have to be done individually, which nullifies the test-all.c
single build speedup.
So lets remove references to capstone from test-all.c to see if this makes it
build again so that we get faster builds or go on fixing up whatever is
preventing us to get that benefit.
Nothing: after this fix we get a clean test-all.c build and get the build speedup back:

perf, allowing us to benefit from the features that it enables:
⬢[acme@toolbox perf-tools-next]$ rpm -q capstone-devel
capstone-devel-5.0.1-3.fc40.x86_64
⬢[acme@toolbox perf-tools-next]$ ldd /tmp/build/perf-tools-next/perf | grep capstone
libcapstone.so.5 => /lib64/libcapstone.so.5 (0x00007fe6a5c00000)
⬢[acme@toolbox perf-tools-next]$ /tmp/build/perf-tools-next/perf -vv | grep cap
libcapstone: [ on ] # HAVE_LIBCAPSTONE_SUPPORT
⬢[acme@toolbox perf-tools-next]$

Pull perf tools fixes from Namhyung Kim:
"Some more build fixes and a random crash fix:
- Fix cross-build by setting pkg-config env according to the arch
- Fix static build for missing library dependencies
- Fix Segfault when callchain has no symbols"

perf docs: Document cross compilation
perf: build: Link lib 'zstd' for static build
perf: build: Link lib 'lzma' for static build

When build static perf, Makefile reports the error:
Makefile.config:480: No libdw DWARF unwind found, Please install
elfutils-devel/libdw-dev >= 0.158 and/or set LIBDW_DIR
The libdw has been installed on the system, but the build system fails
to build the feature detecting binary 'test-libdw-dwarf-unwind'. The
failure is caused by missing to link the lib 'zstd'.
Link lib 'zstd' for the static build, in the end, the dwarf feature can
be enabled in the static perf.

Since libdw version 0.177, elfutils has merged libebl.a into libdw (see
the commit "libebl: Don't install libebl.a, libebl.h and remove backends
from spec." in the elfutils repository).
As a result, libebl.a does not exist on Debian Bullseye and newer
releases, causing static perf builds to fail on these distributions.
This commit checks the libdw version and only links libebl.a if it
detects that the libdw version is older than 0.177.

On recent Linux distros like Ubuntu Noble and Debian Bookworm, the
'pkg-config-aarch64-linux-gnu' package is missing. As a result, the
aarch64-linux-gnu-pkg-config command is not available, which causes
build failures.
When a build passes the environment variables PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR or
PKG_CONFIG_PATH, like a user uses make command or a build system
(like Yocto, Buildroot, etc) prepares the variables and passes to the
Perf's Makefile, the commit keeps these variables for package
configuration. Otherwise, this commit sets the PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR
variable to use the Multiarch libs for the cross compilation.

Needed to add required include directories for the feature detection
to succeed. The header tracefs.h is installed either into the include
directory /usr/include/tracefs/tracefs.h when using the Makefile, or
into /usr/include/libtracefs/tracefs.h when using meson to build
libtracefs. The header tracefs.h uses #include <event-parse.h> from
libtraceevent, so pkg-config needs to pick the correct include directory
for libtracefs and add the one for libtraceevent to succeed.
Note that in baa2ca59ec the variable
LIBTRACEEVENT_DIR was introduced, and now the method to compile against
non-standard locations requires PKG_CONFIG_PATH to be set instead, which
works for both libtraceevent and libtracefs.

Since commit d927ef5004 ("perf cs-etm: Add exception level consistency
check"), the exception that was added to Perf will be triggered unless
the following bugfix from OpenCSD is present:
- _Version 1.2.1_:
- __Bugfix__:
ETM4x / ETE - output of context elements to client can in some
circumstances be delayed until after subsequent atoms have been
processed leading to incorrect memory decode access via the client
callbacks. Fixed to flush context elements immediately they are
committed.
Rather than remove the assert and silently fail, just increase the
minimum version requirement to avoid hard to debug issues and
regressions.
