perf tools: Fix build error for LoongArch

2025-05-22T12:31:58+00:00

There exists the following error when building perf tools on LoongArch: CC util/syscalltbl.o In file included from util/syscalltbl.c:16: tools/perf/arch/loongarch/include/syscall_table.h:2:10: fatal error: asm/syscall_table_64.h: No such file or directory 2 | #include | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ compilation terminated. This is because the generated syscall header is syscalls_64.h rather than syscall_table_64.h. The above problem was introduced from v6.14, then the header syscall_table.h has been removed from mainline tree in commit af472d3c4454 ("perf syscalltbl: Remove syscall_table.h"), just fix it only for the linux-6.14.y branch of stable tree. By the way, no need to fix the mainline tree and there is no upstream git id for this patch.

perf tools: Fix is_compat_mode build break in ppc64

2025-04-10T12:44:34+00:00

[ Upstream commit 7e442be7015af524d2b5fb84f0ff04a44501542b ] Commit 54f9aa1092457 ("tools/perf/powerpc/util: Add support to handle compatible mode PVR for perf json events") introduced to select proper JSON events in case of compat mode using auxiliary vector. But this caused a compilation error in ppc64 Big Endian. arch/powerpc/util/header.c: In function 'is_compat_mode': arch/powerpc/util/header.c:20:21: error: cast to pointer from integer of different size [-Werror=int-to-pointer-cast] 20 | if (!strcmp((char *)platform, (char *)base_platform)) | ^ arch/powerpc/util/header.c:20:39: error: cast to pointer from integer of different size [-Werror=int-to-pointer-cast] 20 | if (!strcmp((char *)platform, (char *)base_platform)) | Commit saved the getauxval(AT_BASE_PLATFORM) and getauxval(AT_PLATFORM) return values in u64 which causes the compilation error. Patch fixes this issue by changing u64 to "unsigned long".

perf x86/topdown: Fix topdown leader sampling test error on hybrid

2025-04-10T12:44:31+00:00

[ Upstream commit b74683b3bb224eccb644cf260753dfc82e802d92 ] When running topdown leader smapling test on Intel hybrid platforms, such as LNL/ARL, we see the below error. Topdown leader sampling test Topdown leader sampling [Failed topdown events not reordered correctly] It indciates the below command fails. perf record -o "${perfdata}" -e "{instructions,slots,topdown-retiring}:S" true The root cause is that perf tool creats a perf event for each PMU type if it can create. As for this command, there would be 5 perf events created, cpu_atom/instructions/,cpu_atom/topdown_retiring/, cpu_core/slots/,cpu_core/instructions/,cpu_core/topdown-retiring/ For these 5 events, the 2 cpu_atom events are in a group and the other 3 cpu_core events are in another group. When arch_topdown_sample_read() traverses all these 5 events, events cpu_atom/instructions/ and cpu_core/slots/ don't have a same group leade, and then return false directly and lead to cpu_core/slots/ event is used to sample and this is not allowed by PMU driver. It's a overkill to return false directly if "evsel->core.leader != leader->core.leader" since there could be multiple groups in the event list. Just "continue" instead of "return false" to fix this issue.

perf tools: Fix up some comments and code to properly use the event_source bus

2025-04-07T08:11:12+00:00

commit 0cced76a0276610e86e8b187c09f0e9ef85b9299 upstream. 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.
