perf unwind-libunwind: Remove libunwind-local

2026-05-15T19:19:50+00:00

Local unwinding only works on the machine libunwind is built for, rather than cross platform, the APIs for remote and local unwinding are similar but types like unw_word_t depend on the included header. Place the architecture specific code into the appropriate libunwind-.c file. Put generic code in unwind-libunwind.c and use libunwind-arch to choose the correct implementation based on the thread's e_machine. Structuring the code this way avoids including the unwind-libunwind-local.c for each architecture of remote unwinding. Data is moved into the struct unwind_info to simplify the architecture and generic code, trying to keep as much code as possible generic.

perf unwind-libunwind: Make libunwind register reading cross platform

2026-05-15T19:18:36+00:00

Move the libunwind register to perf register mapping functions in arch/../util/unwind-libunwind.c into a new libunwind-arch directory. Rename the functions to __get_perf_regnum_for_unw_regnum_. Add untested ppc32 and s390 functions. Add a get_perf_regnum_for_unw_regnum function that takes an ELF machine as well as a register number and chooses the appropriate architecture implementation. Split the x86 and powerpc 32 and 64-bit implementations apart so that a single libunwind-.h header is included. Move the e_machine into the unwind_info struct to make it easier to pass.

perf unwind: Use perf_arch_reg_{ip|sp}() to substitute macros

2023-08-16T11:48:06+00:00

We use perf_arch_reg_ip() and perf_arch_reg_sp() to substitute macros for obtaining the register numbers of SP and IP. This modification enables cross analysis in the unwinding, therefore, the unwinding is not restricted to the predefined values by the macros. Consequently, the macros LIBUNWIND__ARCH_REG_{IP|SP} are removed since they are no longer used. Committer notes: Add missing "util/env.h" header to make sure we have the definition for perf_env__arch(), that when built with NO_LIBUNWIND=1 isn't available, i.e. it was being included by sheer luck.

perf unwind arm64: Use perf's copy of kernel headers

2022-05-26T15:36:58+00:00

Fix this include path to use perf's copy of the kernel header rather than the one from the root of the repo. This fixes build errors when only applying the perf tools part of a patchset rather than both sides.

perf arm64: Rename perf_event_arm_regs for ARM64 registers

2021-12-16T15:18:12+00:00

The registers for ARM and ARM64 are enumerated using two enums that have the same name. In order to be able to import both headers, the name of one can be replaced using the C preprocessor like so: #define perf_event_arm_regs perf_event_arm64_regs #include #undef perf_event_arm_regs This patch updates all imports of ARM64's perf_regs.h in order to prevent the naming collision.

perf tools: Remove debug.h from places where it is not needed

2019-09-20T12:19:20+00:00

Pruning a bit more the includes dependency tree. Building this thing on lots of containers takes time, we better reduce the time per build, each container is doing 6 builds when clang and clang-devel are available, and the plan is to do a 'make -C tools/perf build-test' that have many more. Also helps when doing normal development, as touching some random file will have a much reduced chance of triggering lots of rebuilds.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

2017-11-02T10:10:55+00:00

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches. Reviewed-by: Kate Stewart Reviewed-by: Philippe Ombredanne Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
