2026-07-23perf trace: Correct default cpumask formatting to hexadecimalAaron Tomlin1-0/+6
Currently, dynamic non-array fields such as 'cpumask_t' are mishandled in 'perf trace', causing the raw length and offset descriptors to be interpreted and displayed as a literal integer (e.g., "cpumask: 524320" instead of the actual mask data). Correct the parsing of dynamic fields that do not have the TEP_FIELD_IS_ARRAY flag set by introducing helper functions format_field__get_raw_data() and format_field__get_cpumask(). Using these helpers, resolve the pointer to the raw bits within the payload and format the cpumask as a zero-padded hexadecimal string by default.

2026-06-30perf evlist: Add reference count checkingIan Rogers1-2/+2
Now the evlist is reference counted, add reference count checking so that gets and puts are paired and easy to debug. Reference count checking is documented here: https://perfwiki.github.io/main/reference-count-checking/ This large patch is adding accessors to evlist functions and switching to their use. There was some minor renaming as evlist__mmap is now an accessor to the mmap variable, and the original evlist__mmap is renamed to evlist__do_mmap.

2026-06-30perf evsel: Add reference countIan Rogers1-5/+6
As with evlist this a no-op for most of the perf tool. The reference count is set to 1 at allocation, the put will see the 1, decrement it and perform the delete. The purpose for adding the reference count is for the python code. Prior to this change the python code would clone evsels, but this has issues if events are opened, etc. leading to assertion failures. With a reference count the same evsel can be used and the reference count incremented for the python usage. To not change the python evsel API getset functions are added for the evsel members, no set function is provided for size as it doesn't make sense to alter this.

2026-06-16perf evsel: Add lazy-initialized probe type detection helpersArnaldo Carvalho de Melo1-0/+5
Several places in perf need to check whether an evsel is a kprobe or uprobe, which requires looking up the PMU by name via evsel__find_pmu(). This lookup walks the PMU list each time, which is wasteful when the same evsel is checked repeatedly. Add evsel__is_kprobe(), evsel__is_uprobe(), and evsel__is_probe() that resolve the probe type on first call via evsel__pmu_name() and cache the result in a 3-bit field (probe_type) in struct evsel. The field fits in existing padding after the bool fields, so struct size does not grow. The enum uses PROBE__UNKNOWN (0) as the uninitialized sentinel — explicitly set in evsel__init() — so the lookup happens on first use. PROBE__NOPE (1) caches "not a probe" to avoid repeated negative lookups. PMU-based probes (kprobe/uprobe PMU) are detected by PMU name. Ftrace-based dynamic probes (created via tracefs, reported as PMU "tracepoint") are detected by the __probe_ip field that the kernel adds to all dynamic probe formats. This covers kprobes, uprobes, and fprobes regardless of their group/system name.

2026-06-15perf inject/aslr: Implement sample address remappingIan Rogers1-2/+8
Add the sample address remapping logic to the ASLR tool. This patch implements aslr_tool__process_sample, which parses sample events, remaps IPs, ADDRs, callchains, and branch stacks using the mappings collected from metadata events, and drops potentially leaking raw, register, stack, physical address, and aux samples. Also adds the aslr_tool__remap_address helper function. Note on cross-endian compatibility: 'perf inject' functions as an endianness converter. Input files are read, and their events are byte-swapped to host endianness in memory. When the tool emits its output, it writes a host-endian PERF_MAGIC in the file header, thereby marking the output file as host-endian natively. Because the output file is always written in host endianness, events and payloads must be constructed entirely using host-endian layouts. For this reason, this patch explicitly un-packs and repacks PERF_SAMPLE_TID (and PERF_SAMPLE_CPU) using unions to ensure that the sequential 32-bit layout is correctly aligned in host endianness. Similarly, branch stack flags (which are modified in-place to host-endian bitfields by the parser) are copied directly to the newly synthesized event. When re-parsing the newly synthesized event, 'needs_swap=false' is explicitly used to prevent double swapping the already host-endian fields. Committer notes: Removed several unused variables, they will be reintroduced in the following patches where they are finally used: struct aslr_evsel_priv *priv = NULL; u64 orig_sample_type; u64 orig_regs_user; u64 orig_regs_intr; Also used PRIx64 for two u64 args (addresses) and %zu for a size_t arg (map__size()) to fix the build on 32-bit architectures.

2026-05-29perf arm-spe: Don't warn about the discard bit if it doesn't existJames Clark1-0/+1
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.

2026-05-22perf tool_pmu: Make tool PMU events respect enable/disableIan Rogers1-2/+13
Tool PMU events (duration_time, user_time, system_time) currently count from when the event is opened to when it is read. This causes issues with features like the delay option (-D) or control fd, where events are opened but should not start counting immediately. Make these events behave more like regular counters by implementing proper enable and disable support. Add accumulated_time to struct evsel to track time while enabled, and implement enable/disable CPU callbacks to start/stop counting. Also generalize userspace PMU mixed group handling. Userspace synthetic PMUs (type > PERF_PMU_TYPE_PE_END) do not have kernel implementations and cannot be grouped in the kernel (opened with group_fd = -1), and are skipped by kernel enable/disable calls. Iterate over group members in userspace and manually enable/disable any members if the leader or the member is a non-perf-event open PMU, and synchronize their disabled flags.

2025-10-03perf stat: Refactor retry/skip/fatal error handlingIan Rogers1-1/+0
For the sake of Intel topdown events commit 9eac5612da1c9102 ("perf stat: Don't skip failing group events") changed 'perf stat' error handling making it so that more errors were fatal and didn't report "<not supported>" events. The change outside of topdown events was unintentional. The notion of "fatal" error handling was introduced in commit e0e6a6ca3ac211cc ("perf stat: Factor out open error handling") and refined in commits like commit cb5ef60067c11cc8 ("perf stat: Error out unsupported group leader immediately") to be an approach for avoiding later assertion failures in the code base. This change fixes those issues and removes the notion of a fatal error on an event. If all events fail to open then a fatal error occurs with the previous fatal error message. This seems to best match the notion of supported events and allowing some errors not to stop 'perf stat', while allowing the truly fatal no event case to terminate the tool early. The evsel->errored flag is only used in the stat code but always just meaning !evsel->supported although there is a comment about it being sticky. Force all evsels to be supported in evsel__init and then clear this when evsel__open fails. When an event is tried the supported is set to true again. This simplifies the notion of whether an evsel is broken. In the get_group_fd code, fail to get a group fd when the evsel isn't supported.

2025-09-12perf parse-events: Add 'X' modifier to exclude an event from being regroupedIan Rogers1-0/+1
The function parse_events__sort_events_and_fix_groups is needed to fix uncore events like: ``` $ perf stat -e '{data_read,data_write}' ... ``` so that the multiple uncore PMUs have a group each of data_read and data_write events. The same function will perform architecture sorting and group fixing, in particular for Intel topdown/perf-metric events. Grouping multiple perf metric events together causes perf_event_open to fail as the group can only support one. This means command lines like: ``` $ perf stat -e 'slots,slots' ... ``` fail as the slots events are forced into a group together to try to satisfy the perf-metric event constraints. As the user may know better than parse_events__sort_events_and_fix_groups add a 'X' modifier to skip its regrouping behavior. This allows the following to succeed rather than fail on the second slots event being opened: ``` $ perf stat -e 'slots,slots:X' -a sleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'system wide': 6,834,154,071 cpu_core/slots/ (50.13%) 5,548,629,453 cpu_core/slots/X (49.87%) 1.002634606 seconds time elapsed ``` Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20250822082233.1850417-1-dapeng1.mi@linux.intel.com/ Reported-by: Dapeng Mi <dapeng1.mi@linux.intel.com> Reported-by: Xudong Hao <xudong.hao@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Dapeng Mi <dapeng1.mi@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com> Tested-by: Dapeng Mi <dapeng1.mi@linux.intel.com> Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Cc: Howard Chu <howardchu95@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: James Clark <james.clark@linaro.org> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Kan Liang <kan.liang@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Thomas Falcon <thomas.falcon@intel.com> Cc: Yoshihiro Furudera <fj5100bi@fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

'perf stat' has different uniquification logic to 'perf record' and perf top. In the case of perf record and 'perf top' all hybrid event names are uniquified. 'perf stat' is more disciplined respecting name config terms, libpfm4 events, etc. 'perf stat' will uniquify hybrid events and the non-core PMU cases shouldn't apply to perf record or 'perf top'. For consistency, remove the uniquification for 'perf record' and 'perf top' and reuse the 'perf stat' uniquification, making the code more globally visible for this. Fix the detection of cross-PMU for disabling uniquify by correctly setting last_pmu. When setting uniquify on an evsel, make sure the PMUs between the 2 considered events differ otherwise the uniquify isn't adding value.

Switch from reading the tracepoint format to reading the id directly for the evsel config. This avoids the need to initialize libtraceevent, plugins, etc. It is sufficient for many tracepoint commands to work like: $ perf stat -e sched:sched_switch true To populate evsel->tp_format, do lazy initialization using libtraceevent in the evsel__tp_format function (the sys and name are saved in evsel__newtp_idx for this purpose). Reading the id should be indicative of the format failing to load, but if not an error is reported in evsel__tp_format. This could happen for a tracepoint with a format that fails to parse. As tracepoints can be parsed without libtraceevent with this, remove the associated #ifdefs in parse-events.c. By only lazily parsing the tracepoint format information it is hoped this will help improve the performance of code using tracepoints but not the format information. It also cuts down on the build and ifdef logic.

The evsel__detect_missing_features() is to check if the attributes of the evsel is supported or not. But it checks the attribute based on the given evsel, it might miss something if the attr doesn't have the bit or give incorrect results if the event is special. Also it maintains the order of the feature that was added to the kernel which means it can assume older features should be supported once it detects the current feature is working. To minimized the confusion and to accurately check the kernel features, I think it's better to use a software event and go through all the features at once.

2024-09-26perf evsel: Add alternate_hw_config and use in evsel__matchIan Rogers1-17/+2
There are cases where we want to match events like instructions and cycles with legacy hardware values, in particular in stat-shadow's hard coded metrics. An evsel's name isn't a good point of reference as it gets altered, strstr would be too imprecise and re-parsing the event from its name is silly. Instead, hold the legacy hardware event name, determined during parsing, in the evsel for this matching case. Inline evsel__match2 that is only used in builtin-diff.

2024-08-14perf evsel: Assign abbr name for the branch counter eventsKan Liang1-0/+6
There could be several branch counter events. If perf tool output the result via the format "event name + a number", the line could be very long and hard to read. An abbreviation is introduced to replace the full event name in the display. The abbreviation starts from 'A' to 'Z9', which can support up to 286 events. The same abbreviation will be assigned if the same events are found in the evlist. The next patch will utilize the abbreviation name to show the branch counter events in the output.

2024-08-14perf evlist: Save branch counters informationKan Liang1-0/+8
The branch counters logging (A.K.A LBR event logging) introduces a per-counter indication of precise event occurrences in LBRs. The kernel only dumps the number of occurrences into a record. The perf tool has to map the number to the corresponding event. Add evlist__update_br_cntr() to go through the evlist to pick the events that are configured to be logged. Assign a logical idx to track them, and add the total number of the events in the leader event. The total number will be used to allocate the space to save the branch counters for a block. The logical idx will be used to locate the corresponding event quickly in the following patches. It only needs to iterate the evlist once. The evsel__has_branch_counters() is also optimized.

2024-08-13perf stat: Fork and launch 'perf record' when 'perf stat' needs to get ↵Weilin Wang1-0/+5
retire latency value for a metric. When retire_latency value is used in a metric formula, evsel would fork a 'perf record' process with "-e" and "-W" options. 'perf record' will collect required retire_latency values in parallel while 'perf stat' is collecting counting values. At the point of time that 'perf stat' stops counting, evsel would stop 'perf record' by sending sigterm signal to 'perf record' process. Sampled data will be processed to get retire latency value. Another thread is required to synchronize between 'perf stat' and 'perf record' when we pass data through pipe. Retire_latency evsel is not opened for 'perf stat' so that there is no counter wasted on it. This commit includes code suggested by Namhyung to adjust reading size for groups that include retire_latency evsels. In current :R parsing implementation, the parser would recognize events with retire_latency modifier and insert them into the evlist like a normal event. Ideally, we need to avoid counting these events. In this commit, at the time when a retire_latency evsel is read, set the retire latency value processed from the sampled data to count value. This sampled retire latency value will be used for metric calculation and final event count print out. No special metric calculation and event print out code required for retire_latency events.
