perf env: Add helper to lazily compute the os_release

2026-06-03T19:53:16+00:00

In live mode the os_release isn't being initialized, make a lazy initialization helper that assumes when the os_release isn't initialized this is live mode.

perf env: Add mutex to protect lazy environment initialization

2026-06-03T19:52:49+00:00

Introduce a mutex to 'struct perf_env' to safely protect lazy metadata setup, such as os_release or e_machine resolution, preventing concurrent initialization data races and memory leaks during multi-threaded profiling or symbol loading.

perf env: Remove unused perf_env__raw_arch

perf env: Refactor perf_env__arch_strerrno

2026-06-03T19:50:45+00:00

The previous approach maps an architecture string to a function pointer to a function that takes an int errno value and returns a string. The new approach takes an e_machine and an errno value and returns a string. As the only call site is in builtin-trace.c, the e_machine is already present and potentially more specific than the perf_env arch string that is a single global value. Since the errno-to-name mapping is now generated statically and no longer depends on libtraceevent, we can remove the HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT guards entirely, making perf_env__arch_strerrno unconditionally available. The major complication in this approach is having the shell script that generates the C code map a linux directory name to the matching ELF machine constants. To ensure compatibility with older hosts that have older glibc versions, output fallback definitions for newer ELF machine constants (EM_AARCH64, EM_CSKY, EM_LOONGARCH) if they are not defined in the system .

perf env, dso, thread: Add _endian variants for e_machine helpers

2026-06-03T19:45:21+00:00

Add perf_arch_is_big_endian(), dso__read_e_machine_endian(), dso__e_machine_endian(), and thread__e_machine_endian() to support bi-endianness and cross-architecture analysis without breaking the existing API. These helpers allow querying the absolute endianness of a DSO or thread, which is required for tools like Capstone that need to set the correct disassembly mode.

perf env: Add perf_env__e_machine helper and use in perf_env__arch

2026-06-03T19:42:52+00:00

Add a helper that lazily computes the e_machine and falls back to EM_HOST. Use the perf_env's arch to compute the e_machine if available, using a binary search for efficiency while handling duplicate rules. Switch perf_env__arch to be derived from e_machine for consistency. To support 32-bit compat binaries on 64-bit hosts during dynamic local or live operations, unpopulated arch fallback paths query uname() at runtime to dynamically resolve the correct host e_machine, safely preventing bitness misclassification regressions. Update session and header to use the helper to safely record e_machine and flags without forcing premature thread scanning.

perf trace beauty: Make beauty generated C code standalone .o files

2026-05-20T20:46:45+00:00

Previously, builtin-trace.c directly included 15 embedded C files (e.g. trace/beauty/mmap.c and fsconfig_arrays.c), which in turn depend on dozens of generated beauty script arrays. To satisfy these embedded inclusions, the global Makefile.perf would define all the generator variables/rules and include them in the prepare umbrella target, choking parallel build startup. Furthermore, tools/perf/util/syscalltbl.c included its own generated mapper, and util/env.c conditionally included arch_errno_names.c inline, splitting consumers across directories and preventing clean Make encapsulation. Refactor the framework to achieve better encapsulation: 1. Move util/syscalltbl.[ch] into trace/beauty/ to co-locate with all generated code consumers. 2. Create fsconfig.c and flatten embedded beauty .c files to compile as independent standalone objects via trace/beauty/Build, exporting their formatting functions via beauty.h and env.h. Switch arch_errno_names.o and syscalltbl.o assignments directly to perf-util-y and add an unconditional top-level recursive kbuild hook (perf-util-y += trace/beauty/) to compile them into libperf-util.a, resolving remote linkage for util/env.c, util/bpf-trace-summary.c, and standalone python extensions. 3. Bridge private opaque references (struct trace) securely via accessors trace__show_zeros() and trace__host(), avoiding header entanglements. 4. Consolidate all generator variables, script paths, and array generation rules entirely out of Makefile.perf and place them directly inside the exact local Build files where their output objects are compiled (trace/beauty/Build and trace/beauty/tracepoints/Build), binding prerequisites locally. Use directly inside generator recipes to guarantee dynamic directory creation before script redirection, and append across all rules to print clean, standardized GEN ... file.c output during compilation. 5. Clean up clean target to recursively remove the generated directory instead of relying on dozens of individual variables. This unchokes the "prepare" target parallel barrier, allows make to evaluate generation scripts purely locally where consumed, and flattens the tracepoint formatting architecture. Testing a parallel build (make -j28 all from scratch) shows improvements: Before: real 0m28.689s user 2m38.490s sys 0m30.148s After: real 0m27.642s user 2m32.356s sys 0m26.683s So reclaiming ~9.6 seconds of raw CPU time and over 1 full second off overall real-world build latency, by overlapping sub-make startup and avoiding top-level double-parsing overhead.

libperf cpumap: Make index and nr types unsigned

2026-04-01T21:50:53+00:00

The index into the cpumap array and the number of entries within the array can never be negative, so let's make them unsigned. This is prompted by reports that gcc 13 with -O6 is giving a alloc-size-larger-than errors. The change makes the cpumap changes and then updates the declaration of index variables throughout perf and libperf to be unsigned. The two things are hard to separate as compiler warnings about mixing signed and unsigned types breaks the build.

perf header: Support CPU DOMAIN relation info

2026-01-22T00:55:09+00:00

The '/proc/schedstat' file gives info about load balancing statistics within a given domain. It also contains the cpu_mask giving information about the sibling cpus and domain names after schedstat version 17. Storing this information in perf header will help tools like `perf sched stats` for better analysis.
