2026-06-04perf tools: Ensure event leader stays at head of evlist after sortingIan Rogers
For evlist of a certain event/metric, the HEAD should be the event leader. In some scenarios where uncore_xxx_0 does not exist, the event leader is not the first element after sorting. For example, on my test machine uncore_iio_0 does not exist, the event leader is uncore_iio_2. However, in `evlist__cmp`, it was reordered based on the PMU name, which makes uncore_iio_1 the HEAD of evlist, breaking the following merge logic in `evsel__merge_aliases`. The patch adds a loop at the end of `parse_events__sort_events_and_fix_groups` to make sure the first wildcard match is the earliest entry in the list, updating pointers accordingly without breaking reordering detection. Tested on device lacks uncore_iio_0, and `perf test` looks good.

2026-06-04perf: Fix off-by-one stack buffer overflow in kallsyms__parse()Rui Qi
In kallsyms__parse(), the loop reading symbol names iterates with i < sizeof(symbol_name), which allows i to reach sizeof(symbol_name) upon loop exit. The subsequent symbol_name[i] = '\0' then writes one byte past the end of the stack-allocated symbol_name[] array. Fix this by changing the loop bound to KSYM_NAME_LEN, so the null terminator always lands within the array. The overflow is triggerable by a kallsyms entry with a symbol name of KSYM_NAME_LEN+1 or more characters (e.g., long Rust mangled names or a malicious /proc/kallsyms).

2026-06-04perf stat: Use aggr_nr scaling for Intel uncore miss latency metricsChun-Tse Shao
Update `metric.py` to support the new `aggr_nr` keyword in the python metric generator. Replace the usage of `source_count` with `aggr_nr` in `IntelMissLat` inside `intel_metrics.py` so that uncore latency metrics (like `lpm_miss_lat`) scale correctly on multi-socket and SNC systems when aggregated globally. Additionally, update the validation bypass logic in `CheckEveryEvent()` inside `metric.py` to whitelist 'cha' and 'uncore' events. This prevents validation failures when compiling metrics referencing these PMU-specific uncore events.

2026-06-04perf stat: Add aggr_nr metric parser supportChun-Tse Shao
Introduce the `aggr_nr` function to the metric expression parser. `aggr_nr` allows metric formulas to dynamically utilize the number of aggregated targets (`aggr->nr`) instead of relying on the static `source_count` (which represents the static socket or node count). This adds the `AGGR_NR` token to the lexer and parser, updates the expression parsing context helpers to store `aggr_nr`, and feeds `aggr->nr` from the aggregation structure in `prepare_metric`.

2026-06-04tools build: Fix feature checks to touch target files on successIan Rogers
In tools/build/feature/Makefile, test-clang-bpf-co-re.bin and test-bpftool-skeletons.bin redirected grep output but never touched or created the $@ target file upon success. Because the target file was never created on disk, Kbuild could never cache the result of the check. Consequently, Make treated the prerequisite as missing and continuously re-executed the Clang BPF backend and bpftool feature checks on every single sub-make evaluation during build startup, or on every incremental build. Refactor both feature check recipes to touch $@ on success. For test-clang-bpf-co-re.bin, group the shell pipeline within curly braces and redirect both stdout and stderr to .make.output to allow errors to be inspected and not appear in build output. List test-clang-bpf-co-re.bin's input C file as a dependency so modification triggers a rebuild. For test-bpftool-skeletons.bin, add it to the FILES list so that it will be cleaned.

2026-06-04perf build: Compile BPF skeletons with -mcpu=v3Suchit Karunakaran
The lock_contention BPF program uses __sync_val_compare_and_swap() to atomically update the max_time and min_time fields in contention_data. This builtin lowers to the BPF_CMPXCHG instruction, which is only available in BPF ISA v3. Without an explicit -mcpu flag, Clang targets BPF v1/v2 by default on older toolchains (Clang < 18), causing build errors when v3 instructions are emitted. Add -mcpu=v3 to CLANG_OPTIONS, which is used exclusively in the BPF skeleton compilation rule.

2026-06-04perf lock: Fix non-atomic max/time and min_time updates in contention_dataSuchit Karunakaran
The update_contention_data() had a FIXME noting that max_time and min_time updates lacked atomicity. Two CPUs could simultaneously read a stale value, pass the comparison check and race on the write-back, with the smaller value potentially overwriting the larger one and silently corrupting the statistics. Fix this by replacing the bare conditional assignments with a bpf_loop()-based CAS retry loop. Each field tracks its own convergence independently via max_done/min_done flags in cas_ctx, so a successful CAS on one field is never retried even if the other field needs more attempts.

2026-06-04perf bench: Add --write-size option to sched pipeBreno Leitao
The default ping-pong uses sizeof(int) (4 bytes) per iteration, which exercises only the pipe-buffer merge path and keeps allocation entirely out of the picture. That makes the bench a useful scheduler / context- switch latency probe but unable to surface anything from the pipe page-allocation hot path. Add a -s/--write-size option that sets the bytes written and read per ping-pong iteration. The buffer is allocated for each side via struct thread_data and replaces the on-stack int previously used. The default remains sizeof(int) so existing invocations are unchanged. With --write-size set above PAGE_SIZE the bench drives anon_pipe_write() through alloc_page() (or the bulk pre-alloc, if the relevant patch is applied), which is what we want when measuring pipe locking and page allocation work. The bench is a ping-pong: both sides call write() before read(), so a single write_size payload must fit entirely in the pipe buffer or both sides deadlock waiting for the other to drain. Resize the pipe via F_SETPIPE_SZ to match write_size (skipped at the sizeof(int) default), and error out cleanly when the request exceeds /proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-size.

2026-06-04rtla: Fix parsing of multi-character short optionsTomas Glozar
A bug was reported where the parsing of multi-character short options, be it a short option with an argument specified without space (e.g. "-p100") or multiple short options in one argument (e.g. -un), ignores options specific to individual tools. Furthermore, if the rest of the option is supposed to be an argument, it gets reinterpreted as a string of options. For example, -p100 gets interpreted as -100, which is due to hackish implementation read as --no-thread --no-irq --no-irq with timerlat hist, causing rtla to error out: $ rtla timerlat hist -p100 no-irq and no-thread set, there is nothing to do here This behavior is caused by getopt_long() being called twice on each argument, once in common_parse_options(), once in [tool]_parse_args(): - common_parse_options() calls getopt_long() with an array of options common for all rtla tools, while suppressing errors (opterr = 0). - If the option fails to parse, common_parse_options() returns 0. - If 0 is returned from common_parse_options(), [tool]_parse_args() calls getopt_long() again, with its own set of options. * [tool] means one of {osnoise,timerlat}_{top,hist} At least in glibc, getopt_long() increments its internal nextchar variable even if the option is not recognized. That means that in the case of "-p100", common_parse_options() sets nextchar pointing to '1', and timerlat_hist_parse_args() sees '1', not 'p'; the same then repeats for the first and second '0'. As there is no way to restore the correct internal state of getopt_long() reliably, fix the issue by merging the common options back to the longopt array and option string of the [tool]_parse_args() functions using a macro; only the switch part is left in the original function, which is renamed to set_common_option().

2026-06-03bpftool: Use libbpf error code for flow dissector queryWoojin Ji
bpf_prog_query() returns a negative errno on failure. query_flow_dissector() currently closes the namespace fd and then reads errno to decide whether -EINVAL means that the running kernel does not support flow dissector queries. That errno check controls behavior, not just diagnostics: -EINVAL is handled as a non-fatal old-kernel case, while any other error makes bpftool net fail. The namespace fd is opened read-only, so close() is not expected to commonly fail in normal use. Still, the BPF_PROG_QUERY error is already available in err, and reading errno after an intervening close() is fragile. If close() does change errno, the compatibility branch may be based on close()'s error instead of the BPF_PROG_QUERY result. This was reproduced with an LD_PRELOAD fault injector that forced BPF_PROG_QUERY for BPF_FLOW_DISSECTOR to fail with EINVAL and then forced close() on the netns fd to fail with EIO. The unpatched bpftool reported "can't query prog: Input/output error". With this change, the same injected failure is handled as the intended non-fatal EINVAL compatibility case. Use the libbpf-returned error code instead. Keep the existing errno reset in the non-fatal path to preserve batch mode behavior. The success path is unchanged.

2026-06-03perf symbol: Lazily compute idleIan Rogers
Switch from an idle boolean to a helper symbol__is_idle function. In the function lazily compute whether a symbol is an idle function taking into consideration the kernel version and architecture of the machine. As symbols__insert no longer needs to know if a symbol is for the kernel, remove the argument. To protect against drop-filtering of legitimate setup, online, or hotplug management functions (such as intel_idle_init), x86 matches are strictly constrained to exact known run-loops (intel_idle, intel_idle_irq, mwait_idle, mwait_idle_with_hints). If the target environment OS release is unresolvable (such as on guest traces), default to treating psw_idle as idle to prevent false negatives and match legacy trace behavior safely.

2026-06-03perf env: Refactor perf_env__arch_strerrnoIan Rogers
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 <elf.h>.

2026-06-03perf test: Add file offset diagnostic test for corrupted perf.dataArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Add a shell test that verifies the file_offset diagnostic messages work correctly when perf encounters corrupted events. The test corrupts a MMAP2 event's size field in a recorded perf.data file, then checks that perf report produces warning messages that include both the file offset (e.g. "at offset 0x2738:") and the event type name with numeric id (e.g. "MMAP2 (10)"). This exercises the diagnostic improvements from the file_offset series, which retrofitted all skip/stop/error messages to include the position and type of the problematic event.

2026-06-03perf sched: Replace BUG_ON on invalid CPU with graceful skipArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
latency_switch_event(), latency_runtime_event(), and map_switch_event() use BUG_ON(cpu >= MAX_CPUS || cpu < 0) to validate the sample CPU. When PERF_SAMPLE_CPU is absent from the sample type, evsel__parse_sample() initializes sample->cpu to (u32)-1. Casting this to int yields -1, which triggers the BUG_ON and aborts perf sched. The central CPU validation in perf_session__deliver_event() intentionally preserves the (u32)-1 sentinel for downstream tools like perf script and perf inject, so leaf callbacks must handle it themselves. Replace the three BUG_ON calls with graceful skips using pr_warning(), matching the existing pattern in process_sched_switch_event() and process_sched_runtime_event() earlier in the same file. Include the file offset for cross-referencing with perf report -D.

2026-06-03perf timechart: Fix cat_backtrace() use-after-free on corrupted callchainArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
cat_backtrace() uses open_memstream() to build a backtrace string. When an invalid callchain context is encountered, zfree(&p) frees the memstream buffer, then the exit path calls fclose(f), which flushes to the already-freed buffer — a use-after-free. The function then returns a dangling pointer that the caller passes to a handler and subsequently double-frees. Fix by replacing the zfree(&p) with a 'corrupted' flag. At the exit label, always fclose(f) first (which finalizes the buffer), then conditionally free it when corrupted. This ensures the memstream contract is honored: the buffer remains valid until fclose(). While here, update the machine__resolve failure message to include file_offset and the event type name, matching the pattern from the preceding series. Also update the three legacy power event handlers under SUPPORT_OLD_POWER_EVENTS to include file_offset in their out-of-bounds CPU messages for consistency.
