2026-06-15perf inject/aslr: Add ASLR tool infrastructure and MMAP trackingIan Rogers
If perf.data files are taken from one machine to another they may leak virtual addresses and so weaken ASLR on the machine they are coming from. Add an aslr option for perf inject that remaps all virtual addresses, or drops data/events, so that the virtual address information isn't leaked. This patch introduces the core ASLR remapping tool infrastructure and implements remapping/tracking for metadata events (MMAP, MMAP2, COMM, FORK, EXIT, KSYMBOL, TEXT_POKE). Sample events are delegated without remapping for now.

2026-06-04perf data ctf: replace libbabeltrace with babeltrace2-ctf-writerMichael Jeanson
The 1.x branch of Babeltrace has been superseded by 2.x in 2020 and has been unmaintained since 2022, efforts have started to remove it from popular distributions. Babeltrace 2.x offers a very similar 'ctf-writer' library that can be used with minimal changes for the '--to-ctf' feature and has been packaged since Debian 11 and Fedora 32. This patch replaces the 'libbabeltrace' build feature with 'babeltrace2-ctf-writer' using pkgconfig detection, adjusts the naming of the public headers and applies minor API cleanups. There is no changes to the output ctf traces, the ctf-writer API still implements version 1.8 of the CTF specification that can be read by either Babeltrace 1 / 2 or any CTF compliant reader. Also remove some ifdefs in the cli option parsing to allow printing the helpful error message with '--to-ctf' when built without babeltrace2.

2026-05-20perf build: Move BPF skeleton generation out of Makefile.perfIan Rogers
Currently, the top-level Makefile.perf defines a massive global bpf-skel umbrella target that pre-compiles all 12+ BPF skeletons (%.skel.h) upfront before launching sub-makes. This forces unrelated sub-makes to serialize behind bpftool and clang BPF target evaluations, causing parallel build bottlenecks. Furthermore, bench_uprobe.bpf.c lived inside util/bpf_skel/, breaking conceptual directory encapsulation since it is consumed purely by bench/uprobe.c. Refactor the BPF skeletons to better achieve directory isolation: 1. Move tools/perf/util/bpf_skel/bench_uprobe.bpf.c directly into tools/perf/bench/bpf_skel/. 2. Extract the skeleton generation infrastructure out of Makefile.perf into a shared inclusion file tools/perf/bpf_skel.mak. 3. Include bpf_skel.mak locally inside tools/perf/util/Build and tools/perf/bench/Build and bind precise local prerequisites. 4. Safely synchronize the shared bpftool bootstrap and vmlinux.h targets via the conditional prepare: umbrella to avoid parallel sub-make races, while evaluating the actual skeletons completely locally on demand. A later patch will move these targets into bpf_skel.mak. 5. Export CLANG from the global Makefile to ensure accurate tool propagation. 6. Clean up Makefile.perf by stripping the global bpf-skel umbrella target and its SKELETONS list. While removing code from Makefile.perf generally helps build performance, the impact here is minimal. The main motivation for the change is to better encapsulate things in the build and simplify Makefile.perf that has around 50 lines removed.

2026-05-20perf trace beauty: Make beauty generated C code standalone .o filesIan Rogers
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.

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-<arch>.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.

2026-05-15perf unwind: Refactor get_entries to allow dynamic libdw/libunwind selectionIan Rogers
Currently, both libdw and libunwind define 'unwind__get_entries'. This causes a duplicate symbol build failure when both are compiled into perf. This commit refactors the DWARF unwind post-processing to be configurable at runtime via the .perfconfig file option 'unwind.style', or using the argument '--unwind-style' in the commands 'perf report', 'perf script' and 'perf inject', in a similar manner to the addr2line or the disassembler style. The file 'tools/perf/util/unwind.c' adds the top-level dispatch function 'unwind__get_entries'. The backend implementations are renamed to 'libdw__get_entries' and 'libunwind__get_entries'. Both are attempted as fallbacks if not configured, or if the primary backend fails.

`perf kvm stat` supports record and report options. By using the arch directory a report for a different machine type cannot be supported. Move the kvm-stat code out of the arch directory and into util/kvm-stat-arch following the pattern of perf-regs and dwarf-regs. Avoid duplicate symbols by renaming functions to have the architecture name within them. For global variables, wrap them in an architecture specific function. Selecting the architecture to use with `perf kvm stat` is selected by EM_HOST, ie no different than before the change. Later the ELF machine can be determined from the session or a header feature (ie EM_HOST at the time of the record). The build and #define HAVE_KVM_STAT_SUPPORT is now redundant so remove across Makefiles and in the build. Opportunistically constify architectural structs and arrays.

2026-01-20perf unwind-libdw: Fix a cross-arch unwinding bugShimin Guo
The set_initial_registers field of Dwfl_Thread_Callbacks needs to be set according to the arch of the stack samples being analyzed, not the arch that perf itself is built for. Currently perf fails to unwind stack samples collected from archs different from that of the host perf is running on. This patch moves the arch-specific implementations of set_initial_registers from tools/perf/arch to tools/perf/utli/unwind-libdw-arch, similar to the way the perf-regs-arch folder contains arch-specific functions related to registers, and chooses the implementation based on the arch of the data being processed.

Factor the addr2line function implementation into separate source files (addr2line.[ch]) and rename the addr2line function cmd__addr2line. In srcline replace the ifdef-ed addr2line implementations with one that first tries the llvm__addr2line implementation, then the deprecated libbfd__addr2line function and on failure uses cmd__addr2line. If HAVE_LIBLLVM_SUPPORT is enabled the llvm__addr2line will execute against the libLLVM.so it is linked against. If HAVE_LIBLLVM_DYNAMIC is enabled then libperf-llvm.so (that links against libLLVM.so) will be dlopened. If the dlopen succeeds then the behavior should match HAVE_LIBLLVM_SUPPORT. On failure cmd__addr2line is used. The dlopen is only tried once. If HAVE_LIBLLVM_DYNAMIC isn't enabled then llvm__addr2line immediately fails and cmd__addr2line is used. Clean up the dso__free_a2l logic, which is only needed in the non-LLVM version and moved to addr2line.c.

2025-10-01perf powerpc: Process auxtrace events and display in 'perf report -D'Athira Rajeev
Add VPA DTL PMU auxtrace process function for "perf report -D". The auxtrace event processing functions are defined in file "util/powerpc-vpadtl.c". Data structures used includes "struct powerpc_vpadtl_queue", "struct powerpc_vpadtl" to store the auxtrace buffers in queue. Different PERF_RECORD_XXX are generated during recording. PERF_RECORD_AUXTRACE_INFO is processed first since it is of type perf_user_event_type and perf session event delivers perf_session__process_user_event() first. Define function powerpc_vpadtl_process_auxtrace_info() to handle the processing of PERF_RECORD_AUXTRACE_INFO records. In this function, initialize the aux buffer queues using auxtrace_queues__init(). Setup the required infrastructure for aux data processing. The data is collected per CPU and auxtrace_queue is created for each CPU. Define powerpc_vpadtl_process_event() function to process PERF_RECORD_AUXTRACE records. In this, add the event to queue using auxtrace_queues__add_event() and process the buffer in powerpc_vpadtl_dump_event(). The first entry in the buffer with timebase as zero has boot timebase and frequency. Remaining data is of format for "struct powerpc_vpadtl_entry". Define the translation for dispatch_reasons and preempt_reasons, report this when dump trace is invoked via powerpc_vpadtl_dump() Sample output: ./perf record -a -e sched:*,vpa_dtl/dtl_all/ -c 1000000000 sleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.300 MB perf.data ] ./perf report -D 0 0 0x39b10 [0x30]: PERF_RECORD_AUXTRACE size: 0x690 offset: 0 ref: 0 idx: 0 tid: -1 cpu: 0 . . ...

The patch builds on commit 57e13264dcea ("perf pmus: Restructure pmu_read_sysfs to scan fewer PMUs") and later so that only if full wild carding is being done, the PMU starts with "drm_" or the event starts with "drm-" will /proc be scanned.

2025-04-28perf trace: Implement syscall summary in BPFNamhyung Kim
When -s/--summary option is used, it doesn't need (augmented) arguments of syscalls. Let's skip the augmentation and load another small BPF program to collect the statistics in the kernel instead of copying the data to the ring-buffer to calculate the stats in userspace. This will be much more light-weight than the existing approach and remove any lost events. Let's add a new option --bpf-summary to control this behavior. I cannot make it default because there's no way to get e_machine in the BPF which is needed for detecting different ABIs like 32-bit compat mode. No functional changes intended except for no more LOST events. :) $ sudo ./perf trace -as --summary-mode=total --bpf-summary sleep 1 Summary of events: total, 6194 events syscall calls errors total min avg max stddev (msec) (msec) (msec) (msec) (%) --------------- -------- ------ -------- --------- --------- --------- ------ epoll_wait 561 0 4530.843 0.000 8.076 520.941 18.75% futex 693 45 4317.231 0.000 6.230 500.077 21.98% poll 300 0 1040.109 0.000 3.467 120.928 17.02% clock_nanosleep 1 0 1000.172 1000.172 1000.172 1000.172 0.00% ppoll 360 0 872.386 0.001 2.423 253.275 41.91% epoll_pwait 14 0 384.349 0.001 27.453 380.002 98.79% pselect6 14 0 108.130 7.198 7.724 8.206 0.85% nanosleep 39 0 43.378 0.069 1.112 10.084 44.23% ...

2025-02-12perf sample: Make user_regs and intr_regs optionalIan Rogers
The struct dump_regs contains 512 bytes of cache_regs, meaning the two values in perf_sample contribute 1088 bytes of its total 1384 bytes size. Initializing this much memory has a cost reported by Tavian Barnes <tavianator@tavianator.com> as about 2.5% when running `perf script --itrace=i0`: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/d841b97b3ad2ca8bcab07e4293375fb7c32dfce7.1736618095.git.tavianator@tavianator.com/ Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> replied that the zero initialization was necessary and couldn't simply be removed. This patch aims to strike a middle ground of still zeroing the perf_sample, but removing 79% of its size by make user_regs and intr_regs optional pointers to zalloc-ed memory. To support the allocation accessors are created for user_regs and intr_regs. To support correct cleanup perf_sample__init and perf_sample__exit functions are created and added throughout the code base.

2024-12-18perf x86: Define arch_fetch_insn in NO_AUXTRACE buildsIan Rogers
archinsn.c containing arch_fetch_insn was only enabled with CONFIG_AUXTRACE, but this meant that a NO_AUXTRACE build on x86 would use the empty weak version of arch_fetch_insn - weak symbols are a frequent source of errors like this and are outside of the C specification. Change it so that archinsn.c is always built on x86 and make the weak symbol empty version of arch_fetch_insn a strong one guarded by ifdefs. arch_fetch_insn on x86 depends on insn_decode which is a function included then built into intel-pt-insn-decoder.c. intel-pt-insn-decoder.c isn't built in a NO_AUXTRACE=1 build. Separate the insn_decode function from intel-pt-insn-decoder.c by just directly compiling the relevant file. Guard this compilation to be for either always on x86 (because of the use in arch_fetch_insn) or when auxtrace is enabled. Apply the CFLAGS overrides as necessary, reducing the amount of code where warnings are disabled.

Rather than treat tool events as a special kind of event, create a tool only PMU where the events/aliases match the existing duration_time, user_time and system_time events. Remove special parsing and printing support for the tool events, but add function calls for when PMU functions are called on a tool_pmu. Move the tool PMU code in evsel into tool_pmu.c to better encapsulate the tool event behavior in that file.

2024-09-03perf report: Support LLVM for addr2line()Steinar H. Gunderson
In addition to the existing support for libbfd and calling out to an external addr2line command, add support for using libllvm directly. This is both faster than libbfd, and can be enabled in distro builds (the LLVM license has an explicit provision for GPLv2 compatibility). Thus, it is set as the primary choice if available. As an example, running 'perf report' on a medium-size profile with DWARF-based backtraces took 58 seconds with LLVM, 78 seconds with libbfd, 153 seconds with external llvm-addr2line, and I got tired and aborted the test after waiting for 55 minutes with external bfd addr2line (which is the default for perf as compiled by distributions today). Evidently, for this case, the bfd addr2line process needs 18 seconds (on a 5.2 GHz Zen 3) to load the .debug ELF in question, hits the 1-second timeout and gets killed during initialization, getting restarted anew every time. Having an in-process addr2line makes this much more robust. As future extensions, libllvm can be used in many other places where we currently use libbfd or other libraries: - Symbol enumeration (in particular, for PE binaries). - Demangling (including non-Itanium demangling, e.g. Microsoft or Rust). - Disassembling (perf annotate). However, these are much less pressing; most people don't profile PE binaries, and perf has non-bfd paths for ELF. The same with demangling; the default _cxa_demangle path works fine for most users, and while bfd objdump can be slow on large binaries, it is possible to use --objdump=llvm-objdump to get the speed benefits. (It appears LLVM-based demangling is very simple, should we want that.) Tested with LLVM 14, 15, 16, 18 and 19. For some reason, LLVM 12 was not correctly detected using feature_check, and thus was not tested.
