2026-05-14perf pmu-events AMD: Switch l2_itlb_misses to bp_l1_tlb_miss_l2_tlb_miss.allIan Rogers
l2_itlb_misses is a valid legacy cache event name, hence allowing it in all_events in metric.py. l2_itlb_misses was also a json event for AMD zen1, zen2 and zen3. For zen4, zen5 and zen6 the checking that metric events are within the json was skipping l2_itlb_misses as it is a valid legacy event, however, the PMU driver lacks the event mapping causing it to be a bad event when used in the metric. Add bp_l1_tlb_miss_l2_tlb_miss.all as the l2 itlb miss event (bp = branch predictor, the AMD way to say itlb), so that is used in preference to l2_itlb_misses when the event exists. Remove l2_itlb_misses from metric.py as the legacy event isn't used by any metrics and having it is error prone for newer AMD zen models.

2026-05-14perf record: Refactor ARM64 leaf caller setup out of archIan Rogers
Code in tools/perf/arch causes portability issues/opaqueness and LTO issues due to the use of weak symbols. Move the adding of LR to the sample_user_regs into arm64-frame-pointer-unwind-support.c conditional on EM_HOST == EM_AARCH64 (false on all non-ARM64 builds). This also better encapsulates the use of the sampled registers by get_leaf_frame_caller_aarch64 and the set up by the new add_leaf_frame_caller_opts_aarch64, exposing opportunities for possibly sampling PC and SP to help the unwinder.

2026-05-11perf tool: Fix missing schedstat delegates and dont_split_sample_group in ↵Ian Rogers
delegate_tool delegate_tool was missing the delegate overrides for schedstat_cpu and schedstat_domain. As a result, when allocated with zalloc, these callbacks defaulted to NULL, causing a segmentation fault crash if any schedstat events were delivered during event processing. Fix this by adding delegate_schedstat_cpu and delegate_schedstat_domain via the CREATE_DELEGATE_OP2 macro, and ensuring delegate_tool__init correctly registers them. Additionally, delegate_tool__init completely omitted copying the dont_split_sample_group property from the delegate. This would cause wrapper tools to default the flag to false, which corrupts piped event processing (e.g., in perf inject) by triggering duplicate event deliveries on split sample values in deliver_sample_group(). Similarly, perf_tool__init() omitted the initialization of this boolean field. On stack-allocated tools that rely on this initializer (like intel-tpebs or __cmd_evlist), this could result in uninitialized stack garbage evaluating to true—silently dropping non-leader event members in deliver_sample_group(). Fix both issues by properly copying the field in delegate_tool__init and initializing it to false in perf_tool__init.

2026-05-11perf sched: Add missing mmap2 handler in timehistIan Rogers
perf_sched__timehist() registers event handlers for options using the sched->tool struct. It registers handlers for MMAP, COMM, EXIT, FORK, etc. but completely omits registering a handler for MMAP2 events. Failing to register both MMAP and MMAP2 handlers causes modern systems (which primarily output MMAP2 records) to silently drop VMA map mappings. This results in uninitialized machine/thread mapping structures, making it impossible to resolve shared library instruction pointers (IPs) to dynamic symbols/DSOs during timehist callchain analysis. Fix this by correctly registering perf_event__process_mmap2 in sched->tool inside perf_sched__timehist().

2026-05-11perf sched stats: Fix segmentation faults, memory leaks, and stale pointers ↵Ian Rogers
in diff mode The patch addresses multiple segmentation fault vectors, out-of-bounds reads, and memory leaks in perf sched stats by adding bounds checks, NULL checks, proper error propagation, and robust memory cleanup. 1. In get_all_cpu_stats(), added assert(!list_empty(head)) to prevent unsafe list_first_entry() calls on empty lists, added a missing NULL check for summary_head->cpu_data allocation, and implemented a cleanup ladder using a temporary list to prevent memory leaks on error paths. 2. In free_schedstat(), fixed memory leaks by ensuring internal domain_data and cpu_data pointers are freed. 3. In show_schedstat_data(), fixed a stale pointer issue where ds2 retained its value from a previous iteration when dptr2 became NULL, and added proper propagation of errors from get_all_cpu_stats(). 4. Propagated show_schedstat_data() errors up to perf_sched__schedstat_diff() and perf_sched__schedstat_live() to prevent output corruption on failure. 5. In show_schedstat_data(), added NULL checks for cd_map1 and cd_map2 to gracefully handle invalid or empty data files. 6. Added parallel iteration termination checks using list_is_last() in show_schedstat_data() for both domain and CPU lists to safely terminate at the end of each list when files contain a different number of CPUs or domains. 7. Added CPU bounds checks (cs1->cpu >= nr1 and cs2->cpu >= nr2) in show_schedstat_data() to prevent out-of-bounds reads from cd_map1 and cd_map2 when comparing files from machines with different CPU counts. 8. Added NULL checks for cd_info1 and cd_info2 to prevent crashes when a CPU has data samples but no corresponding domain info in the header. 9. Added domain bounds checks (ds1->domain >= cd_info1->nr_domains and ds2->domain >= cd_info2->nr_domains) to prevent out-of-bounds array accesses in the domains array. 10. Added NULL checks for dinfo1 and dinfo2 in show_schedstat_data() to prevent crashes when a domain has no corresponding domain info. 11. Zero-initialized the perf_data array in perf_sched__schedstat_diff() to prevent stack garbage from causing perf_data_file__fd() to attempt to use a NULL fptr when use_stdio happened to be non-zero.

The MIDR will affect printing of arm_spe_pkts, so store a copy of it there. Technically it's constant for each decoder, but there is no decoder when doing a raw dump, so it has to be stored in every packet. It will only be used in raw dump mode and not in normal decoding for now, but to avoid any surprises, set MIDR properly on the decoder too. Having both the MIDR and the arm_spe_pkt (which has a copy of it) in the decoder seemed a bit weird, so remove arm_spe_pkt from the decoder.

2026-05-05perf callchain: Handle multiple address spacesThomas Richter
perf test 'perf inject to convert DWARF callchains to regular ones' fails on s390. It was introduced with commit 92ea788d2af4e65a ("perf inject: Add --convert-callchain option") The failure comes the difference in output. Without the inject script to convert DWARF the callchains is: # perf record -F 999 --call-graph dwarf -- perf test -w noploop # perf report -i perf.data --stdio --no-children -q \ --percent-limit=1 > /tmp/111 # cat /tmp/111 99.30% perf-noploop perf [.] noploop | ---noploop run_workload (inlined) cmd_test run_builtin (inlined) handle_internal_command run_argv (inlined) main __libc_start_call_main __libc_start_main_impl (inlined) _start # With the inject script step the output is: # perf inject -i perf.data --convert-callchain -o /tmp/perf-inject-1.out # perf report -i /tmp/perf-inject-1.out --stdio --no-children -q \ --percent-limit=1 > /tmp/222 # cat /tmp/222 99.40% perf-noploop perf [.] noploop | ---noploop run_workload (inlined) cmd_test run_builtin (inlined) handle_internal_command run_argv (inlined) main _start # diff /tmp/111 /tmp/222 1c1 < 99.30% perf-noploop perf [.] noploop --- > 99.40% perf-noploop perf [.] noploop 10,11d9 < __libc_start_call_main < __libc_start_main_impl (inlined) # The difference are the symbols __libc_start_call_main and __libc_start_main_impl. On x86_64, kernel and user space share a single virtual address space, with the kernel mapped to the upper end of memory. The instruction pointer value alone is sufficient to distinguish between user space and kernel space addresses. This is not true for s390, which uses separate address spaces for user and kernel. The same virtual address can be valid in both address spaces, so the instruction pointer value alone cannot determine whether an address belongs to the kernel or user space. Instead, perf must rely on the cpumode metadata derived from the processor status word (PSW) at sample time. In function perf_event__convert_sample_callchain() the first part copies a kernel callchain and context entries, if any. It then appends additional entries ignoring the address space architecture. Taking that into account, the symbols at addresses 0x3ff970348cb __libc_start_call_main 0x3ff970349c5 __libc_start_main_impl (located after the kernel address space on s390) are now included. Output before: # perf test 83 83: perf inject to convert DWARF callchains to regular ones : FAILED! Output after: # perf test 83 83: perf inject to convert DWARF callchains to regular ones : Ok Question to Namhyung: In function perf_event__convert_sample_callchain() just before the for() loop this patch modifies, the kernel callchain is copied, see this comment and the next 5 lines: /* copy kernel callchain and context entries */ Then why is machine__kernel_ip() needed in the for() loop, when the kernel entries have been copied just before the loop? Note: This patch was tested on x86_64 virtual machine and succeeded.

Check return values of `dwarf_decl_line` (where non-optional), `dwarf_getfuncs`, and `dwarf_lineaddr` to prevent using uninitialized stack variables or incorrectly reporting success on failure. For the root DIE in `die_walk_lines()`, `dwarf_decl_line` and `die_get_decl_file` are optional and their failures are handled gracefully to avoid breaking line walking on valid functions. Specifically, remove the strict `!decf` (declared file) check that would prematurely abort line walking on generated or artificial functions lacking this optional attribute. Additionally: - Add NULL pointer protection for `strcmp()` in `die_walk_lines()` when `inf` or `decf` are NULL to prevent crashes on generated code. - Use `dwarf_attr_integrate` in `die_get_data_member_location` to correctly resolve inherited member locations (e.g. via abstract origin or specification).

2026-05-05perf dwarf-aux: Fix libdw segmentation fault in cu_walk_functions_atIan Rogers
A segmentation fault was observed in `libdw` when running `perf kmem` with `--page stat` on some workloads. The crash occurred deep inside `libdw` (specifically in `dwarf_child` and `dwarf_diename`) when processing DWARF information. The root cause was improper error handling of `dwarf_getfuncs` in `die_find_realfunc` and `die_find_tailfunc`. `dwarf_getfuncs` returns: - `0` on success (when all functions have been processed). - A positive offset if the callback aborts early (e.g., via `DWARF_CB_ABORT` when a match is found). - `-1` on error. The original code used `if (!dwarf_getfuncs(...)) return NULL;`. On error (`-1`), `!-1` evaluates to `0` (false), bypassing the error check. Execution then proceeded as if a match was found, returning uninitialized stack memory (`die_mem`) to the caller (`cu_walk_functions_at`). When `cu_walk_functions_at` passed this uninitialized memory to `libdw` via `dwarf_diename`, it caused a segmentation fault. Fix this by correcting the error check to `if (dwarf_getfuncs(...) <= 0)`.

2026-04-13perf annotate: Use jump__delete when freeing LoongArch jumpsRong Bao
Currently, the initialization of loongarch_jump_ops does not contain an assignment to its .free field. This causes disasm_line__free() to fall through to ins_ops__delete() for LoongArch jump instructions. ins_ops__delete() will free ins_operands.source.raw and ins_operands.source.name, and these fields overlaps with ins_operands.jump.raw_comment and ins_operands.jump.raw_func_start.

2026-04-13perf test: Fixes for check branch stack samplingIan Rogers
When filtering branch stack samples on user events they sample in user land but may have come from the kernel. Aarch64 avoids leaking the kernel address for kaslr reasons but other platforms, for now, don't. Be more permissive in allowing kernel addresses in the source of user branch stacks. When filtering branch stack samples on kernel events they sample in kernel land but may have come from user land. Avoid the target being a user address but allow the source to be in user land. Aarch64 may not leak the user land addresses (making them 0) but other platforms do. As the kernel address sampling implies privelege, just allow this. Increase the duration of the system call sampling test to make the likelihood of sampling a system call higher (increased from 1000 to 8000 loops - a number found through experimentation on an Intel Tigerlake laptop), also make the period of the event a prime number. Put unneeded perf record output into a temporary file so that the test output isn't cluttered. More clearly state which test is running and the pass, fail or skipped result of the test. These changes make the test on an Intel tigerlake laptop reliably pass rather than reliably fail.

2026-04-13perf test: Fix inet_pton probe failure and unroll call graphIan Rogers
When adding a probe for libc's inet_pton, perf probe may create multiple probe points (e.g., due to inlining or multiple symbol resolutions), resulting in multiple identical event names being output (e.g., `probe_libc:inet_pton_1`). The script previously used a brittle pipeline (`tail -n +2 | head -n -5`) and an awk script to extract the event name. When multiple probes were added, awk would output the event name multiple times, which expanded to multiple words in bash. This broke the subsequent `perf record` and `perf probe -d` commands, causing the test to fail with: `Error: another command except --add is set.` Fix this by removing the brittle `tail/head` commands and appending `| head -n 1` to the awk extraction. This ensures that only a single, unique event name is captured, regardless of how many probe points are created. Additionally, the test artificially limited the backtrace size via `max-stack=4` and did not specify dwarf call graphs for non-s390x architectures. In newer libc versions where `inet_pton` is nested deeper or compiled without frame pointers, `perf script` failed to resolve the backtrace up to `/bin/ping`. Fix this by explicitly collecting dwarf call-graphs for all architectures and increasing `max-stack` to 8.

2026-04-13perf build: fix "argument list too long" in second locationMarkus Mayer
Turns out that displaying "RM $^" via quiet_cmd_rm can also upset the shell and cause it to display "argument list too long". Trying to quote $^ doesn't help. In the end, *not* displaying the (potentially long) list of files is probably the right thing to do for a "quiet" message, anyway. Instead, let's display a count of how many files were removed. There is always V=1 if more detail is required. TEST linux/tools/perf/pmu-events/metric_test.log RM ...634 orphan file(s)... LD linux/tools/perf/util/perf-util-in.o Also move the comment regarding xargs before the rule, so it doesn't show up in the build output.
