[ Upstream commit ebec62bc7ec435b475722a5467d67c720a1ad79f ] Add missing close() to avoid leaking perf events. In past perfs this mattered little as the function was just used by 'perf list'.

2025-06-19perf trace: Always print return value for syscalls returning a pidAnubhav Shelat
[ Upstream commit c7a48ea9b919e2fa0e4a1d9938fdb03e9afe276c ] The syscalls that were consistently observed were set_robust_list and rseq. This is because perf cannot find their child process.

2025-06-19perf symbol: Fix use-after-free in filename__read_build_idIan Rogers
[ Upstream commit fef8f648bb47726d96a5701fe31ed606268da73d ] The same buf is used for the program headers and reading notes. As the notes memory may be reallocated then this corrupts the memory pointed to by the phdr. Using the same buffer is in any case a logic error. Rather than deal with the duplicated code, introduce an elf32 boolean and a union for either the elf32 or elf64 headers that are in use. Let the program headers have their own memory and grow the buffer for notes as necessary.

2025-06-19perf intel-pt: Fix PEBS-via-PT data_srcAdrian Hunter
[ Upstream commit e00eac6b5b6d956f38d8880c44bf7fd9954063c3 ] The Fixes commit did not add support for decoding PEBS-via-PT data_src. Fix by adding support. PEBS-via-PT is a feature of some E-core processors, starting with processors based on Tremont microarchitecture. Because the kernel only supports Intel PT features that are on all processors, there is no support for PEBS-via-PT on hybrids. Currently that leaves processors based on Tremont, Gracemont and Crestmont, however there are no events on Tremont that produce data_src information, and for Gracemont and Crestmont there are only: mem-loads event=0xd0,umask=0x5,ldlat=3 mem-stores event=0xd0,umask=0x6 Affected processors include Alder Lake N (Gracemont), Sierra Forest (Crestmont) and Grand Ridge (Crestmont).

2025-06-19perf ui browser hists: Set actions->thread before calling do_zoom_thread()Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
[ Upstream commit 1741189d843a1d5ef38538bc52a3760e2e46cb2e ] In 7cecb7fe8388d5c3 ("perf hists: Move sort__has_comm into struct perf_hpp_list") it assumes that act->thread is set prior to calling do_zoom_thread(). This doesn't happen when we use ESC or the Left arrow key to Zoom out of a specific thread, making this operation not to work and we get stuck into the thread zoom. In 6422184b087ff435 ("perf hists browser: Simplify zooming code using pstack_peek()") it says no need to set actions->thread, and at that point that was true, but in 7cecb7fe8388d5c3 a actions->thread == NULL check was added before the zoom out of thread could kick in. We can zoom out using the alternative 't' thread zoom toggle hotkey to finally set actions->thread before calling do_zoom_thread() and zoom out, but lets also fix the ESC/Zoom out of thread case.

2025-04-10perf bpf-filter: Fix a parsing error with commaNamhyung Kim
[ Upstream commit 35d13f841a3d8159ef20d5e32a9ed3faa27875bc ] The previous change to support cgroup filters introduced a bug that pathname can include commas. It confused the lexer to treat an item and the trailing comma as a single token. And it resulted in a parse error: $ sudo perf record -e cycles:P --filter 'period > 0, ip > 64' -- true perf_bpf_filter: Error: Unexpected item: 0, perf_bpf_filter: syntax error, unexpected BFT_ERROR, expecting BFT_NUM Usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>] or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>] --filter <filter> event filter It should get "0" and "," separately. An easiest fix would be to remove "," from the possible pathname characters. As it's for cgroup names, probably ok to assume it won't have commas in the pathname. I found that the existing BPF filtering test didn't have any complex filter condition with commas. Let's update the group filter test which is supposed to test filter combinations like this.

2025-04-10perf dso: fix dso__is_kallsyms() checkStephen Brennan
[ Upstream commit ebf0b332732dcc64239119e554faa946562b0b93 ] Kernel modules for which we cannot find a file on-disk will have a dso->long_name that looks like "[module_name]". Prior to the commit listed in the fixes, the dso->kernel field would be zero (for user space), so dso__is_kallsyms() would return false. After the commit, kernel module DSOs are correctly labeled, but the result is that dso__is_kallsyms() erroneously returns true for those modules without a filesystem path. Later, build_id_cache__add() consults this value of is_kallsyms, and when true, it copies /proc/kallsyms into the cache. Users with many kernel modules without a filesystem path (e.g. ksplice or possibly kernel live patch modules) have reported excessive disk space usage in the build ID cache directory due to this behavior. To reproduce the issue, it's enough to build a trivial out-of-tree hello world kernel module, load it using insmod, and then use: perf record -ag -- sleep 1 In the build ID directory, there will be a directory for your module name containing a kallsyms file. Fix this up by changing dso__is_kallsyms() to consult the dso_binary_type enumeration, which is also symmetric to the above checks for dso__is_vmlinux() and dso__is_kcore(). With this change, kallsyms is not cached in the build-id cache for out-of-tree modules.

[ Upstream commit 89aaeaf84231157288035b366cb6300c1c6cac64 ] The pyrf_event__new() method copies the event obtained from the perf ring buffer to a structure that will then be turned into a python object for further consumption, so it copies perf_event.header.size bytes to its 'event' member: $ pahole -C pyrf_event /tmp/build/perf-tools-next/python/perf.cpython-312-x86_64-linux-gnu.so struct pyrf_event { PyObject ob_base; /* 0 16 */ struct evsel * evsel; /* 16 8 */ struct perf_sample sample; /* 24 312 */ /* XXX last struct has 7 bytes of padding, 2 holes */ /* --- cacheline 5 boundary (320 bytes) was 16 bytes ago --- */ union perf_event event; /* 336 4168 */ /* size: 4504, cachelines: 71, members: 4 */ /* member types with holes: 1, total: 2 */ /* paddings: 1, sum paddings: 7 */ /* last cacheline: 24 bytes */ }; $ It was doing so without checking if the event just obtained has more than that space, fix it.

2025-04-10perf python: Don't keep a raw_data pointer to consumed ring buffer spaceArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
[ Upstream commit f3fed3ae34d606819d87a63d970cc3092a5be7ab ] When processing tracepoints the perf python binding was parsing the event before calling perf_mmap__consume(&md->core) in pyrf_evlist__read_on_cpu(). But part of this event parsing was to set the perf_sample->raw_data pointer to the payload of the event, which then could be overwritten by other event before tracepoint fields were asked for via event.prev_comm in a python program, for instance. This also happened with other fields, but strings were were problems were surfacing, as there is UTF-8 validation for the potentially garbled data. This ended up showing up as (with some added debugging messages): ( field 'prev_comm' ret=0x7f7c31f65110, raw_size=68 ) ( field 'prev_pid' ret=0x7f7c23b1bed0, raw_size=68 ) ( field 'prev_prio' ret=0x7f7c239c0030, raw_size=68 ) ( field 'prev_state' ret=0x7f7c239c0250, raw_size=68 ) time 14771421785867 prev_comm= prev_pid=1919907691 prev_prio=796026219 prev_state=0x303a32313175 ==> ( XXX '��' len=16, raw_size=68) ( field 'next_comm' ret=(nil), raw_size=68 ) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/acme/git/perf-tools-next/tools/perf/python/tracepoint.py", line 51, in <module> main() File "/home/acme/git/perf-tools-next/tools/perf/python/tracepoint.py", line 46, in main event.next_comm, ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ AttributeError: 'perf.sample_event' object has no attribute 'next_comm' When event.next_comm was asked for, the PyUnicode_FromString() python API would fail and that tracepoint field wouldn't be available, stopping the tools/perf/python/tracepoint.py test tool. But, since we already do a copy of the whole event in pyrf_event__new, just use it and while at it remove what was done in in e8968e654191390a ("perf python: Fix pyrf_evlist__read_on_cpu event consuming") because we don't really need to wait for parsing the sample before declaring the event as consumed. This copy is questionable as is now, as it limits the maximum event + sample_type and tracepoint payload to sizeof(union perf_event), this all has been "working" because 'struct perf_event_mmap2', the largest entry in 'union perf_event' is: $ pahole -C perf_event ~/bin/perf | grep mmap2 struct perf_record_mmap2 mmap2; /* 0 4168 */ $ Fixes: bae57e3825a3dded ("perf python: Add support to resolve tracepoint fields") Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250312203141.285263-6-acme@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>

2025-04-10perf build: Fix in-tree build due to symbolic linkLuca Ceresoli
[ Upstream commit 75100d848ef4b8ca39bb6dd3a21181e37dea27e2 ] Building perf in-tree is broken after commit 890a1961c812 ("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...

2025-04-10perf pmu: Don't double count common sysfs and json eventsJames Clark
[ Upstream commit c9d699e10fa6c0cdabcddcf991e7ff42af6b2503 ] 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.

[ Upstream commit 4c4c0724d6521a8092b7c16f8f210c5869d95b17 ] This is also used in util/comm.c now, so instead of selectively doing the feature test, always do it.

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.

2025-02-17perf bench: Fix undefined behavior in cmpworker()Kuan-Wei Chiu
commit 62892e77b8a64b9dc0e1da75980aa145347b6820 upstream. The comparison function cmpworker() violates the C standard's requirements for qsort() comparison functions, which mandate symmetry and transitivity: Symmetry: If x < y, then y > x. Transitivity: If x < y and y < z, then x < z. In its current implementation, cmpworker() incorrectly returns 0 when w1->tid < w2->tid, which breaks both symmetry and transitivity. This violation causes undefined behavior, potentially leading to issues such as memory corruption in glibc [1]. Fix the issue by returning -1 when w1->tid < w2->tid, ensuring compliance with the C standard and preventing undefined behavior.

2025-02-08perf trace: Fix BPF loading failure (-E2BIG)Howard Chu
[ Upstream commit 013eb043f37bd87c4d60d51034401a5a6d105bcf ] As reported by Namhyung Kim and acknowledged by Qiao Zhao (link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-perf-users/20241206001436.1947528-1-namhyung@kernel.org/), on certain machines, perf trace failed to load the BPF program into the kernel. The verifier runs perf trace's BPF program for up to 1 million instructions, returning an E2BIG error, whereas the perf trace BPF program should be much less complex than that. This patch aims to fix the issue described above. The E2BIG problem from clang-15 to clang-16 is cause by this line: } else if (size < 0 && size >= -6) { /* buffer */ Specifically this check: size < 0. seems like clang generates a cool optimization to this sign check that breaks things. Making 'size' s64, and use } else if ((int)size < 0 && size >= -6) { /* buffer */ Solves the problem. This is some Hogwarts magic. And the unbounded access of clang-12 and clang-14 (clang-13 works this time) is fixed by making variable 'aug_size' s64. As for this: -if (aug_size > TRACE_AUG_MAX_BUF) - aug_size = TRACE_AUG_MAX_BUF; +aug_size = args->args[index] > TRACE_AUG_MAX_BUF ? TRACE_AUG_MAX_BUF : args->args[index]; This makes the BPF skel generated by clang-18 work. Yes, new clangs introduce problems too. Sorry, I only know that it works, but I don't know how it works. I'm not an expert in the BPF verifier. I really hope this is not a kernel version issue, as that would make the test case (kernel_nr) * (clang_nr), a true horror story. I will test it on more kernel versions in the future.

That in turn will call nsinfo__new() -> nsinfo__init() and there it will assume we're running live, which is wrong and will need to be addressed in a followup patch. The nsinfo__new() assumes that if we can't access that thread it has already finished and will ignore the -1 return from nsinfo__init(), just taking notes to avoid trying to enter in that namespace, since it isn't there anymore, a race. When doing this from 'perf inject', tho, we can fill in parts of that nsinfo from what we get from the PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 (pid, tid) and in the jitdump file name, that has the form of jit-<PID>.dump. So if the pid in the jitdump file name is not the one in the PERF_RECORD_MMAP2, we can assume that its the pid of the process _inside_ the namespace, and that perf was runing outside that namespace. This will be done in the following patch.

2025-02-08perf machine: Don't ignore _etext when not a text symbolChristophe Leroy
[ Upstream commit 7a93786c306296f15e728b1dbd949a319e4e3d19 ] Depending on how vmlinux.lds is written, _etext might be the very first data symbol instead of the very last text symbol. Don't require it to be a text symbol, accept any symbol type. Comitter notes: See the first Link for further discussion, but it all boils down to this: --- # grep -e _stext -e _etext -e _edata /proc/kallsyms c0000000 T _stext c08b8000 D _etext So there is no _edata and _etext is not text $ ppc-linux-objdump -x vmlinux | grep -e _stext -e _etext -e _edata c0000000 g .head.text 00000000 _stext c08b8000 g .rodata 00000000 _etext c1378000 g .sbss 00000000 _edata --- Fixes: ed9adb2035b5be58 ("perf machine: Read also the end of the kernel") Signed-off-by: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@csgroup.eu> Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Kan Liang <kan.liang@linux.intel.com> Cc: linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org Cc: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Song Liu <songliubraving@fb.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/b3ee1994d95257cb7f2de037c5030ba7d1bed404.1736327613.git.christophe.leroy@csgroup.eu Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
2025-02-08perf maps: Fix display of kernel symbolsChristophe Leroy
[ Upstream commit dae29277fddaaf6670d17dfcbb916a2ca29c912f ] Since commit 659ad3492b913c90 ("perf maps: Switch from rbtree to lazily sorted array for addresses"), perf doesn't display anymore kernel symbols on powerpc, allthough it still detects them as kernel addresses. # Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol # ........ .......... ............. ...................................... # 80.49% Coeur main [unknown] [k] 0xc005f0f8 3.91% Coeur main gau [.] engine_loop.constprop.0.isra.0 1.72% Coeur main [unknown] [k] 0xc005f11c 1.09% Coeur main [unknown] [k] 0xc01f82c8 0.44% Coeur main libc.so.6 [.] epoll_wait 0.38% Coeur main [unknown] [k] 0xc0011718 0.36% Coeur main [unknown] [k] 0xc01f45c0 This is because function maps__find_next_entry() now returns current entry instead of next entry, leading to kernel map end address getting mis-configured with its own start address instead of the start address of the following map. Fix it by really taking the next entry, also make sure that entry follows current one by making sure entries are sorted.

kernel samples [ Upstream commit 058b38ccd2af9e5c95590b018e8425fa148d7aca ] Recently we got a case where a kernel sample wasn't being resolved due to a bug that was not setting the end address on kernel functions implemented in assembly (see Link: tag), and then those were not being found by machine__resolve() -> map__find_symbol(). So we ended up with: # perf top --stdio PerfTop: 0 irqs/s kernel: 0% exact: 0% lost: 0/0 drop: 0/0 [cycles/P] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Warning: A vmlinux file was not found.

[ Upstream commit 1d18ebcfd302a2005b83ae5f13df223894d19902 ] When expr_parse_ctx is allocated by expr_ctx_new(), expr_scanner_ctx->is_test isn't initialize, so it has garbage value. this can affects the result of expr__parse() return when it parses non-exist event literal according to garbage value.
