2025-09-04perf parse-events: Handle fake PMUs in CPU termsIan Rogers
The "Parsing of PMU event table metrics with fake PMUs" will test metrics on machines/models that may be missing a PMU, in such a case the fake_pmu should be used to avoid errors. Metrics that get the cpumask from a different PMU, such as "tsc/cpu=cpu_atom/", also need to be resilient in this test. The parse_events_state fake_pmu is set when missing PMUs should be ignored. So that it can be queried, pass it to the config term functions, as well as to get_config_cpu, then ignore failures when fake_pmu is set. Some minor code refactoring to cut down on the indent and remove some redundant checks.

2025-09-03perf dwarf-aux: Use signed variable types in match_var_offsetZecheng Li
match_var_offset() compares address offsets to determine if an access falls within a variable's bounds. The offsets involved for those relative to base registers from DW_OP_breg can be negative. The current implementation uses unsigned types (u64) for these offsets, which rejects almost all negative values. Change the signature of match_var_offset() to use signed types (s64). This ensures correct behavior when addr_offset or addr_type are negative.

2025-09-03perf ilist: Add new python ilist commandIan Rogers
The perf ilist command is a textual app [1] similar to perf list. In the top-left pane a tree of PMUs is displayed. Selecting a PMU expands the events within it. Selecting an event displays the `perf list` style event information in the top-right pane. When an event is selected it is opened and the counters on each CPU the event is for are periodically read. The bottom of the screen contains a scrollable set of sparklines showing the events in total and on each CPU. Scrolling below the sparklines shows the same data as raw counts. The sparklines are small graphs where the height of the bar is in relation to maximum of the other counts in the graph. By default the counts are read with an interval of 0.1 seconds (10 times per second). A -I/--interval command line option allows the interval to be changed. The oldest read counts are dropped when the counts fill the line causing the sparkline to move from right to left. A search box can be pulled up with the 's' key. 'n' and 'p' iterate through the search results. As some PMUs have hundreds of events a 'c' key will collapse the events in the current PMU to make navigating the PMUs easier.

2025-09-02perf bpf-utils: Harden get_bpf_prog_info_linearIan Rogers
In get_bpf_prog_info_linear two calls to bpf_obj_get_info_by_fd are made, the first to compute memory requirements for a struct perf_bpil and the second to fill it in. Previously the code would warn when the second call didn't match the first. Such races can be common place in things like perf test, whose perf trace tests will frequently load BPF programs. Rather than a debug message, return actual errors for this case. Out of paranoia also validate the read bpf_prog_info array value. Change the type of ptr to avoid mismatched pointer type compiler warnings. Add some additional debug print outs and sanity asserts.

2025-08-25perf symbol: Add blocking argument to filename__read_build_idIan Rogers
When synthesizing build-ids, for build ID mmap2 events, they will be added for data mmaps if -d/--data is specified. The files opened for their build IDs may block on the open causing perf to hang during synthesis. There is some robustness in existing calls to filename__read_build_id by checking the file path is to a regular file, which unfortunately fails for symlinks. Rather than adding more is_regular_file calls, switch filename__read_build_id to take a "block" argument and specify O_NONBLOCK when this is false. The existing is_regular_file checking callers and the event synthesis callers are made to pass false and thereby avoiding the hang.

2025-08-07perf bpf-filter: Enable events manuallyIlya Leoshkevich
On s390, and, in general, on all platforms where the respective event supports auxiliary data gathering, the command: # ./perf record -u 0 -aB --synth=no -- ./perf test -w thloop [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.011 MB perf.data ] # ./perf report --stats | grep SAMPLE # does not generate samples in the perf.data file. On x86 the command: # sudo perf record -e intel_pt// -u 0 ls is broken too. Looking at the sequence of calls in 'perf record' reveals this behavior: 1. The event 'cycles' is created and enabled: record__open() +-> evlist__apply_filters() +-> perf_bpf_filter__prepare() +-> bpf_program.attach_perf_event() +-> bpf_program.attach_perf_event_opts() +-> __GI___ioctl(..., PERF_EVENT_IOC_ENABLE, ...) The event 'cycles' is enabled and active now. However the event's ring-buffer to store the samples generated by hardware is not allocated yet. 2. The event's fd is mmap()ed to create the ring buffer: record__open() +-> record__mmap() +-> record__mmap_evlist() +-> evlist__mmap_ex() +-> perf_evlist__mmap_ops() +-> mmap_per_cpu() +-> mmap_per_evsel() +-> mmap__mmap() +-> perf_mmap__mmap() +-> mmap() This allocates the ring buffer for the event 'cycles'. With mmap() the kernel creates the ring buffer: perf_mmap(): kernel function to create the event's ring | buffer to save the sampled data. | +-> ring_buffer_attach(): Allocates memory for ring buffer. | The PMU has auxiliary data setup function. The | has_aux(event) condition is true and the PMU's | stop() is called to stop sampling. It is not | restarted: | | if (has_aux(event)) | perf_event_stop(event, 0); | +-> cpumsf_pmu_stop(): Hardware sampling is stopped. No samples are generated and saved anymore. 3. After the event 'cycles' has been mapped, the event is enabled a second time in: __cmd_record() +-> evlist__enable() +-> __evlist__enable() +-> evsel__enable_cpu() +-> perf_evsel__enable_cpu() +-> perf_evsel__run_ioctl() +-> perf_evsel__ioctl() +-> __GI___ioctl(., PERF_EVENT_IOC_ENABLE, .) The second ioctl(fd, PERF_EVENT_IOC_ENABLE, 0); is just a NOP in this case. The first invocation in (1.) sets the event::state to PERF_EVENT_STATE_ACTIVE. The kernel functions perf_ioctl() +-> _perf_ioctl() +-> _perf_event_enable() +-> __perf_event_enable() return immediately because event::state is already set to PERF_EVENT_STATE_ACTIVE. This happens on s390, because the event 'cycles' offers the possibility to save auxilary data. The PMU callbacks setup_aux() and free_aux() are defined. Without both callback functions, cpumsf_pmu_stop() is not invoked and sampling continues. To remedy this, remove the first invocation of ioctl(..., PERF_EVENT_IOC_ENABLE, ...). in step (1.) Create the event in step (1.) and enable it in step (3.) after the ring buffer has been mapped. Output after: # ./perf record -aB --synth=no -u 0 -- ./perf test -w thloop 2 [ perf record: Woken up 3 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.876 MB perf.data ] # ./perf report --stats | grep SAMPLE SAMPLE events: 16200 (99.5%) SAMPLE events: 16200 # The software event succeeded both before and after the patch: # ./perf record -e cpu-clock -aB --synth=no -u 0 -- \ ./perf test -w thloop 2 [ perf record: Woken up 7 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 2.870 MB perf.data ] # ./perf report --stats | grep SAMPLE SAMPLE events: 53506 (99.8%) SAMPLE events: 53506 # Fixes: b4c658d4d63d61 ("perf target: Remove uid from target") Suggested-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Tested-by: Thomas Richter <tmricht@linux.ibm.com> Acked-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Co-developed-by: Thomas Richter <tmricht@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Thomas Richter <tmricht@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Ilya Leoshkevich <iii@linux.ibm.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250806162417.19666-3-iii@linux.ibm.com Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>

They have been available in distros for quite a while: $ file /bin/bash /bin/bash: ELF 64-bit LSB pie executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, BuildID[sha1]=707a1c670cd72f8e55ffedfbe94ea98901b7ce3a, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, stripped It is possible to ask the kernel to get it from mmap executable backing storage at time they are being put in place and send it as metadata at that moment to have in perf.data. Prefer that across the board to speed up 'record' time - it post processes the samples to find binaries touched by any samples and to save them with build-ID. It can skip reading build-ID in userspace if it comes from the kernel. perf record: * Make --buildid-mmap default. The kernel can generate MMAP2 events with a build-ID from ELF header. Use that by default instead of using inode and device ID to identify binaries. It also can be disabled with --no-buildid-mmap. * Use BPF for -u/--uid option to sample processes belong to a user. BPF can track user processes more accurately and the existing logic often fails to get the list of processes due to race with reading the /proc filesystem. * Generate PERF_RECORD_BPF_METADATA when it profiles BPF programs and they have variables starting with "bpf_metadata_". This will help to identify BPF objects used in the profile. This has been supported in bpftool for some time and allows the recording of metadata such as commit hashes, versions, etc, that now gets recorded in perf.data as well. * Collect list of DSOs touched in the sample callchains as well as in the sample itself. This would increase the processing time at the end of record, but can improve the data quality. perf stat: * Add a new 'drm' pseudo-PMU support like in 'hwmon'.

2025-07-31perf record: Cache build-ID of hit DSOs onlyNamhyung Kim
It post-processes samples to find which DSO has samples. Based on that info, it can save used DSOs in the build-ID cache directory. But for some reason, it saves all DSOs without checking the hit mark. Skipping unused DSOs can give some speedup especially with --buildid-mmap being default. On my idle machine, `time perf record -a sleep 1` goes down from 3 sec to 1.5 sec with this change.

Trying to detect every possible path leading to architecturally forbidden states is hard and even risks breaking userspace (if it goes from valid to valid state but passes through invalid states), so just wait until KVM_RUN to detect that the vCPU state isn't allowed - Add KVM_X86_DISABLE_EXITS_APERFMPERF to allow disabling interception of APERF/MPERF reads, so that a "properly" configured VM can access APERF/MPERF. This has many caveats (APERF/MPERF cannot be zeroed on vCPU creation or saved/restored on suspend and resume, or preserved over thread migration let alone VM migration) but can be useful whenever you're interested in letting Linux guests see the effective physical CPU frequency in /proc/cpuinfo - Reject KVM_SET_TSC_KHZ for vm file descriptors if vCPUs have been created, as there's no known use case for changing the default frequency for other VM types and it goes counter to the very reason why the ioctl was added to the vm file descriptor. And also, there would be no way to make it work for confidential VMs with a "secure" TSC, so kill two birds with one stone - Dynamically allocation the shadow MMU's hashed page list, and defer allocating the hashed list until it's actually needed (the TDP MMU doesn't use the list) - Extract many of KVM's helpers for accessing architectural local APIC state to common x86 so that they can be shared by guest-side code for Secure AVIC - Various cleanups and fixes x86 (Intel): - Preserve the host's DEBUGCTL.FREEZE_IN_SMM when running the guest. Failure to honor FREEZE_IN_SMM can leak host state into guests - Explicitly check vmcs12.GUEST_DEBUGCTL on nested VM-Enter to prevent L1 from running L2 with features that KVM doesn't support, e.g. BTF x86 (AMD): - WARN and reject loading kvm-amd.ko instead of panicking the kernel if the nested SVM MSRPM offsets tracker can't handle an MSR (which is pretty much a static condition and therefore should never happen, but still) - Fix a variety of flaws and bugs in the AVIC device posted IRQ code - Inhibit AVIC if a vCPU's ID is too big (relative to what hardware supports) instead of rejecting vCPU creation - Extend enable_ipiv module param support to SVM, by simply leaving IsRunning clear in the vCPU's physical ID table entry - Disable IPI virtualization, via enable_ipiv, if the CPU is affected by erratum #1235, to allow (safely) enabling AVIC on such CPUs - Request GA Log interrupts if and only if the target vCPU is blocking, i.e. only if KVM needs a notification in order to wake the vCPU - Intercept SPEC_CTRL on AMD if the MSR shouldn't exist according to the vCPU's CPUID model - Accept any SNP policy that is accepted by the firmware with respect to SMT and single-socket restrictions. An incompatible policy doesn't put the kernel at risk in any way, so there's no reason for KVM to care - Drop a superfluous WBINVD (on all CPUs!) when destroying a VM and use WBNOINVD instead of WBINVD when possible for SEV cache maintenance - When reclaiming memory from an SEV guest, only do cache flushes on CPUs that have ever run a vCPU for the guest, i.e. don't flush the caches for CPUs that can't possibly have cache lines with dirty, encrypted data Generic: - Rework irqbypass to track/match producers and consumers via an xarray instead of a linked list. Using a linked list leads to O(n^2) insertion times, which is hugely problematic for use cases that create large numbers of VMs. Such use cases typically don't actually use irqbypass, but eliminating the pointless registration is a future problem to solve as it likely requires new uAPI - Track irqbypass's "token" as "struct eventfd_ctx *" instead of a "void *", to avoid making a simple concept unnecessarily difficult to understand - Decouple device posted IRQs from VFIO device assignment, as binding a VM to a VFIO group is not a requirement for enabling device posted IRQs - Clean up and document/comment the irqfd assignment code - Disallow binding multiple irqfds to an eventfd with a priority waiter, i.e. ensure an eventfd is bound to at most one irqfd through the entire host, and add a selftest to verify eventfd:irqfd bindings are globally unique - Add a tracepoint for KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES to help debug issues related to private <=> shared memory conversions - Drop guest_memfd's .getattr() implementation as the VFS layer will call generic_fillattr() if inode_operations.getattr is NULL - Fix issues with dirty ring harvesting where KVM doesn't bound the processing of entries in any way, which allows userspace to keep KVM in a tight loop indefinitely - Kill off kvm_arch_{start,end}_assignment() and x86's associated tracking, now that KVM no longer uses assigned_device_count as a heuristic for either irqbypass usage or MDS mitigation Selftests: - Fix a comment typo - Verify KVM is loaded when getting any KVM module param so that attempting to run a selftest without kvm.ko loaded results in a SKIP message about KVM not being loaded/enabled (versus some random parameter not existing) - Skip tests that hit EACCES when attempting to access a file, and print a "Root required?" help message.

2025-07-30perf test: Ensure lock contention using pipe modeJan Polensky
The 'kernel lock contention analysis test' requires reliable triggering of lock contention. On some systems, previous benchmark calls failed to generate sufficient contention due to low system activity or resource limits. This patch adds the -p (pipe) option to all calls of perf bench sched messaging, ensuring consistent lock contention without relying on socket-based communication.
