- Add Namhyung Kim as tools/perf/ co-maintainer, we're taking turns processing
patches, switching roles from perf-tools to perf-tools-next at each Linux
release.
Data profiling:
- Associate samples that identify loads and stores with data structures. This
uses events available on Intel, AMD and others and DWARF info:
# To get memory access samples in kernel for 1 second (on Intel)
$ perf mem record -a -K --ldlat=4 -- sleep 1
# Similar for the AMD (but it requires 6.3+ kernel for BPF filters)
$ perf mem record -a --filter 'mem_op == load || mem_op == store, ip > 0x8000000000000000' -- sleep 1
Then, amongst several modes of post processing, one can do things like:
$ perf report -s type,typeoff --hierarchy --group --stdio
...
#
# Samples: 10K of events 'cpu/mem-loads,ldlat=4/P, cpu/mem-stores/P, dummy:u'

This uses the existing annotate code, calling objdump to do the disassembly,
with improvements to avoid having this take too long, but longer term a
switch to a disassembler library, possibly reusing code in the kernel will
be pursued.
This is the initial implementation, please use it and report impressions and
bugs. Make sure the kernel-debuginfo packages match the running kernel. The
'perf report' phase for non short perf.data files may take a while.
There is a great article about it on LWN:

<SNIP>
perf top/report:
- Don't ignore job control, allowing control+Z + bg to work.
- Add s390 raw data interpretation for PAI (Processor Activity Instrumentation)
counters.
perf archive:
- Add new option '--all' to pack perf.data with DSOs.
- Add new option '--unpack' to expand tarballs.
Initialization speedups:
- Lazily initialize zstd streams to save memory when not using it.
- Lazily allocate/size mmap event copy.
- Lazy load kernel symbols in 'perf record'.
- Be lazier in allocating lost samples buffer in 'perf record'.
- Don't synthesize BPF events when disabled via the command line (perf record --no-bpf-event).
Assorted improvements:
- Show note on AMD systems that the :p, :pp, :ppp and :P are all the same, as
IBS (Instruction Based Sampling) is used and it is inherentely precise, not
having levels of precision like in Intel systems.
- When 'cycles' isn't available, fall back to the "task-clock" event when not
system wide, not to 'cpu-clock'.
- Add --debug-file option to redirect debug output, e.g.:
$ perf --debug-file /tmp/perf.log record -v true
- Shrink 'struct map' to under one cacheline by avoiding function pointers for
selecting if addresses are identity or DSO relative, and using just a byte for
some boolean struct members.
- Resolve the arch specific strerrno just once to use in perf_env__arch_strerrno().
- Reduce memory for recording PERF_RECORD_LOST_SAMPLES event.
Assorted fixes:
- Fix the default 'perf top' usage on Intel hybrid systems, now it starts with
a browser showing the number of samples for Efficiency (cpu_atom/cycles/P) and
Performance (cpu_core/cycles/P). This behaviour is similar on ARM64, with its
respective set of big.LITTLE processors.
- Fix segfault on build_mem_topology() error path.
- Fix 'perf mem' error on hybrid related to availability of mem event in a PMU.
- Fix missing reference count gets (map, maps) in the db-export code.
- Avoid recursively taking env->bpf_progs.lock in the 'perf_env' code.
- Use the newly introduced maps__for_each_map() to add missing locking around
iteration of 'struct map' entries.
- Parse NOTE segments until the build id is found, don't stop on the first one,
ELF files may have several such NOTE segments.
- Remove 'egrep' usage, its deprecated, use 'grep -E' instead.
- Warn first about missing libelf, not libbpf, that depends on libelf.
- Use alternative to 'find ... -printf' as this isn't supported in busybox.
- Address python 3.6 DeprecationWarning for string scapes.
- Fix memory leak in uniq() in libsubcmd.
- Fix man page formatting for 'perf lock'
- Fix some spelling mistakes.
perf tests:
- Fail shell tests that needs some symbol in perf itself if it is stripped.
These tests check if a symbol is resolved, if some hot function is indeed
detected by profiling, etc.
- The 'perf test sigtrap' test is currently failing on PREEMPT_RT, skip it if
sleeping spinlocks are detected (using BTF) and point to the mailing list
discussion about it. This test is also being skipped on several architectures
(powerpc, s390x, arm and aarch64) due to other pending issues with intruction
breakpoints.
- Adjust test case perf record offcpu profiling tests for s390.
- Fix 'Setup struct perf_event_attr' fails on s390 on z/VM guest, addressing
issues caused by the fallback from cycles to task-clock done in this release.
- Fix mask for VG register in the user-regs test.
- Use shellcheck on 'perf test' shell scripts automatically to make sure changes
don't introduce things it flags as problematic.
- Add option to change objdump binary and allow it to be set via 'perf config'.
- Add basic 'perf script', 'perf list --json" and 'perf diff' tests.
- Basic branch counter support.
- Make DSO tests a suite rather than individual.
- Remove atomics from test_loop to avoid test failures.
- Fix call chain match on powerpc for the record+probe_libc_inet_pton test.
- Improve Intel hybrid tests.
Vendor event files (JSON):
powerpc:
- Update datasource event name to fix duplicate events on IBM's Power10.
- Add PVN for HX-C2000 CPU with Power8 Architecture.
Intel:
- Alderlake/rocketlake metric fixes.
- Update emeraldrapids events to v1.02.
- Update icelakex events to v1.23.
- Update sapphirerapids events to v1.17.
- Add skx, clx, icx and spr upi bandwidth metric.
AMD:
- Add Zen 4 memory controller events.
RISC-V:
- Add StarFive Dubhe-80 and Dubhe-90 JSON files.
https://www.starfivetech.com/en/site/cpu-u
- Add T-HEAD C9xx JSON file.
https://github.com/riscv-software-src/opensbi/blob/master/docs/platform/thead-c9xx.md
ARM64:
- Remove UTF-8 characters from cmn.json, that were causing build failure in some
distros.
- Add core PMU events and metrics for Ampere One X.
- Rename Ampere One's BPU_FLUSH_MEM_FAULT to GPC_FLUSH_MEM_FAULT
libperf:
- Rename several perf_cpu_map constructor names to clarify what they really do.
- Ditto for some other methods, coping with some issues in their semantics,
like perf_cpu_map__empty() -> perf_cpu_map__has_any_cpu_or_is_empty().
- Document perf_cpu_map__nr()'s behavior
perf stat:
- Exit if parse groups fails.
- Combine the -A/--no-aggr and --no-merge options.
- Fix help message for --metric-no-threshold option.
Hardware tracing:
ARM64 CoreSight:
- Bump minimum OpenCSD version to ensure a bugfix is present.
- Add 'T' itrace option for timestamp trace
- Set start vm addr of exectable file to 0 and don't ignore first sample on the
arm-cs-trace-disasm.py 'perf script'.

- Be lazier in allocating lost samples buffer in 'perf record'.
- Don't synthesize BPF events when disabled via the command line
(perf record --no-bpf-event).
Assorted improvements:
- Show note on AMD systems that the :p, :pp, :ppp and :P are all the
same, as IBS (Instruction Based Sampling) is used and it is
inherentely precise, not having levels of precision like in Intel
systems.
- When 'cycles' isn't available, fall back to the "task-clock" event
when not system wide, not to 'cpu-clock'.
- Add --debug-file option to redirect debug output, e.g.:
$ perf --debug-file /tmp/perf.log record -v true
- Shrink 'struct map' to under one cacheline by avoiding function
pointers for selecting if addresses are identity or DSO relative,
and using just a byte for some boolean struct members.
- Resolve the arch specific strerrno just once to use in
perf_env__arch_strerrno().
- Reduce memory for recording PERF_RECORD_LOST_SAMPLES event.
Assorted fixes:
- Fix the default 'perf top' usage on Intel hybrid systems, now it
starts with a browser showing the number of samples for Efficiency
(cpu_atom/cycles/P) and Performance (cpu_core/cycles/P). This
behaviour is similar on ARM64, with its respective set of
big.LITTLE processors.
- Fix segfault on build_mem_topology() error path.
- Fix 'perf mem' error on hybrid related to availability of mem event
in a PMU.
- Fix missing reference count gets (map, maps) in the db-export code.
- Avoid recursively taking env->bpf_progs.lock in the 'perf_env'
code.
- Use the newly introduced maps__for_each_map() to add missing
locking around iteration of 'struct map' entries.
- Parse NOTE segments until the build id is found, don't stop on the
first one, ELF files may have several such NOTE segments.
- Remove 'egrep' usage, its deprecated, use 'grep -E' instead.
- Warn first about missing libelf, not libbpf, that depends on
libelf.
- Use alternative to 'find ... -printf' as this isn't supported in
busybox.

- Fix memory leak in uniq() in libsubcmd.
- Fix man page formatting for 'perf lock'
- Fix some spelling mistakes.
perf tests:
- Fail shell tests that needs some symbol in perf itself if it is
stripped. These tests check if a symbol is resolved, if some hot
function is indeed detected by profiling, etc.
- The 'perf test sigtrap' test is currently failing on PREEMPT_RT,
skip it if sleeping spinlocks are detected (using BTF) and point to
the mailing list discussion about it. This test is also being
skipped on several architectures (powerpc, s390x, arm and aarch64)
due to other pending issues with intruction breakpoints.
- Adjust test case perf record offcpu profiling tests for s390.
- Fix 'Setup struct perf_event_attr' fails on s390 on z/VM guest,
addressing issues caused by the fallback from cycles to task-clock
done in this release.
- Fix mask for VG register in the user-regs test.
- Use shellcheck on 'perf test' shell scripts automatically to make
sure changes don't introduce things it flags as problematic.
- Add option to change objdump binary and allow it to be set via
'perf config'.
- Add basic 'perf script', 'perf list --json" and 'perf diff' tests.
- Basic branch counter support.
- Make DSO tests a suite rather than individual.
- Remove atomics from test_loop to avoid test failures.
- Fix call chain match on powerpc for the record+probe_libc_inet_pton
test.
- Improve Intel hybrid tests.

On kernel that don't support arg:ctx tag, before adjusting global
subprog BTF information to match kernel's expected canonical type names,
make sure that types used by user are meaningful, and if not, warn and
don't do BTF adjustments.
This is similar to checks that kernel performs, but narrower in scope,
as only a small subset of BPF program types can be accommodated by
libbpf using canonical type names.
Libbpf unconditionally allows `struct pt_regs *` for perf_event program
types, unlike kernel, which supports that conditionally on architecture.
This is done to keep things simple and not cause unnecessary false
positives. This seems like a minor and harmless deviation, which in
real-world programs will be caught by kernels with arg:ctx tag support
anyways. So KISS principle.
This logic is hard to test (especially on latest kernels), so manual
testing was performed instead. Libbpf emitted the following warning for
perf_event program with wrong context argument type:
libbpf: prog 'arg_tag_ctx_perf': subprog 'subprog_ctx_tag' arg#0 is expected to be of `struct bpf_perf_event_data *` type

Add feature detector of kernel-side arg:ctx (__arg_ctx) tag support. If
this is detected, libbpf will avoid doing any __arg_ctx-related BTF
rewriting and checks in favor of letting kernel handle this completely.
test_global_funcs/ctx_arg_rewrite subtest is adjusted to do the same
feature detection (albeit in much simpler, though round-about and
inefficient, way), and skip the tests. This is done to still be able to
execute this test on older kernels (like in libbpf CI).
Note, BPF token series ([0]) does a major refactor and code moving of
libbpf-internal feature detection "framework", so to avoid unnecessary
conflicts we keep newly added feature detection stand-alone with ad-hoc
result caching. Once things settle, there will be a small follow up to
re-integrate everything back and move code into its final place in
newly-added (by BPF token series) features.c file.

Out of all special global func arg tag annotations, __arg_ctx is
practically is the most immediately useful and most critical to have
working across multitude kernel version, if possible. This would allow
end users to write much simpler code if __arg_ctx semantics worked for
older kernels that don't natively understand btf_decl_tag("arg:ctx") in
verifier logic.
Luckily, it is possible to ensure __arg_ctx works on old kernels through
a bit of extra work done by libbpf, at least in a lot of common cases.
To explain the overall idea, we need to go back at how context argument
was supported in global funcs before __arg_ctx support was added. This
was done based on special struct name checks in kernel. E.g., for
BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT the expectation is that argument type `struct
bpf_perf_event_data *` mark that argument as PTR_TO_CTX. This is all
good as long as global function is used from the same BPF program types
only, which is often not the case. If the same subprog has to be called
from, say, kprobe and perf_event program types, there is no single
definition that would satisfy BPF verifier. Subprog will have context
argument either for kprobe (if using bpf_user_pt_regs_t struct name) or
perf_event (with bpf_perf_event_data struct name), but not both.
This limitation was the reason to add btf_decl_tag("arg:ctx"), making
the actual argument type not important, so that user can just define
"generic" signature:
__noinline int global_subprog(void *ctx __arg_ctx) { ... }
I won't belabor how libbpf is implementing subprograms, see a huge
comment next to bpf_object_relocate_calls() function. The idea is that
each main/entry BPF program gets its own copy of global_subprog's code
appended.
This per-program copy of global subprog code *and* associated func_info
.BTF.ext information, pointing to FUNC -> FUNC_PROTO BTF type chain
allows libbpf to simulate __arg_ctx behavior transparently, even if the
kernel doesn't yet support __arg_ctx annotation natively.
The idea is straightforward: each time we append global subprog's code
and func_info information, we adjust its FUNC -> FUNC_PROTO type
information, if necessary (that is, libbpf can detect the presence of
btf_decl_tag("arg:ctx") just like BPF verifier would do it).
The rest is just mechanical and somewhat painful BTF manipulation code.
It's painful because we need to clone FUNC -> FUNC_PROTO, instead of
reusing it, as same FUNC -> FUNC_PROTO chain might be used by another
main BPF program within the same BPF object, so we can't just modify it
in-place (and cloning BTF types within the same struct btf object is
painful due to constant memory invalidation, see comments in code).
Uploaded BPF object's BTF information has to work for all BPF
programs at the same time.
Once we have FUNC -> FUNC_PROTO clones, we make sure that instead of
using some `void *ctx` parameter definition, we have an expected `struct
bpf_perf_event_data *ctx` definition (as far as BPF verifier and kernel
is concerned), which will mark it as context for BPF verifier. Same
global subprog relocated and copied into another main BPF program will
get different type information according to main program's type. It all
works out in the end in a completely transparent way for end user.
Libbpf maintains internal program type -> expected context struct name
mapping internally. Note, not all BPF program types have named context
struct, so this approach won't work for such programs (just like it
didn't before __arg_ctx). So native __arg_ctx is still important to have
in kernel to have generic context support across all BPF program types.

Move the logic of finding and assigning exception callback indices from
BTF sanitization step to program relocations step, which seems more
logical and will unblock moving BTF loading to after relocation step.
Exception callbacks discovery and assignment has no dependency on BTF
being loaded into the kernel, it only uses BTF information. It does need
to happen before subprogram relocations happen, though. Which is why the
split.
No functional changes.

Move map creation to later during BPF object loading by pre-creating
stable placeholder FDs (utilizing memfd_create()). Use dup2()
syscall to then atomically make those placeholder FDs point to real
kernel BPF map objects.
This change allows to delay BPF map creation to after all the BPF
program relocations. That, in turn, allows to delay BTF finalization and
loading into kernel to after all the relocations as well. We'll take
advantage of the latter in subsequent patches to allow libbpf to adjust
BTF in a way that helps with BPF global function usage.
Clean up a few places where we close map->fd, which now shouldn't
happen, because map->fd should be a valid FD regardless of whether map
was created or not. Surprisingly and nicely it simplifies a bunch of
error handling code. If this change doesn't backfire, I'm tempted to
pre-create such stable FDs for other entities (progs, maybe even BTF).
We previously did some manipulations to make gen_loader work with fake
map FDs, with stable map FDs this hack is not necessary for maps (we
still have it for BTF, but I left it as is for now).

With the upcoming switch to preallocated placeholder FDs for maps,
switch various getters/setter away from checking map->fd. Use
map_is_created() helper that detect whether BPF map can be modified based
on map->obj->loaded state, with special provision for maps set up with
bpf_map__reuse_fd().
For backwards compatibility, we take map_is_created() into account in
bpf_map__fd() getter as well. This way before bpf_object__load() phase
bpf_map__fd() will always return -1, just as before the changes in
subsequent patches adding stable map->fd placeholders.
We also get rid of all internal uses of bpf_map__fd() getter, as it's
more oriented for uses external to libbpf. The above map_is_created()
check actually interferes with some of the internal uses, if map FD is
fetched through bpf_map__fd().

To allow external admin authority to override default BPF FS location
(/sys/fs/bpf) for implicit BPF token creation, teach libbpf to recognize
LIBBPF_BPF_TOKEN_PATH envvar. If it is specified and user application
didn't explicitly specify neither bpf_token_path nor bpf_token_fd
option, it will be treated exactly like bpf_token_path option,
overriding default /sys/fs/bpf location and making BPF token mandatory.

Add BPF token support to BPF object-level functionality.
BPF token is supported by BPF object logic either as an explicitly
provided BPF token from outside (through BPF FS path or explicit BPF
token FD), or implicitly (unless prevented through
bpf_object_open_opts).
Implicit mode is assumed to be the most common one for user namespaced
unprivileged workloads. The assumption is that privileged container
manager sets up default BPF FS mount point at /sys/fs/bpf with BPF token
delegation options (delegate_{cmds,maps,progs,attachs} mount options).
BPF object during loading will attempt to create BPF token from
/sys/fs/bpf location, and pass it for all relevant operations
(currently, map creation, BTF load, and program load).
In this implicit mode, if BPF token creation fails due to whatever
reason (BPF FS is not mounted, or kernel doesn't support BPF token,
etc), this is not considered an error. BPF object loading sequence will
proceed with no BPF token.
In explicit BPF token mode, user provides explicitly either custom BPF
FS mount point path or creates BPF token on their own and just passes
token FD directly. In such case, BPF object will either dup() token FD
(to not require caller to hold onto it for entire duration of BPF object
lifetime) or will attempt to create BPF token from provided BPF FS
location. If BPF token creation fails, that is considered a critical
error and BPF object load fails with an error.
Libbpf provides a way to disable implicit BPF token creation, if it
causes any troubles (BPF token is designed to be completely optional and
shouldn't cause any problems even if provided, but in the world of BPF
LSM, custom security logic can be installed that might change outcome
dependin on the presence of BPF token). To disable libbpf's default BPF
token creation behavior user should provide either invalid BPF token FD
(negative), or empty bpf_token_path option.
BPF token presence can influence libbpf's feature probing, so if BPF
object has associated BPF token, feature probing is instructed to use
BPF object-specific feature detection cache and token FD.

Adjust feature probing callbacks to take into account optional token_fd.
In unprivileged contexts, some feature detectors would fail to detect
kernel support just because BPF program, BPF map, or BTF object can't be
loaded due to privileged nature of those operations. So when BPF object
is loaded with BPF token, this token should be used for feature probing.
This patch is setting support for this scenario, but we don't yet pass
non-zero token FD. This will be added in the next patch.
We also switched BPF cookie detector from using kprobe program to
tracepoint one, as tracepoint is somewhat less dangerous BPF program
type and has higher likelihood of being allowed through BPF token in the
future. This change has no effect on detection behavior.

Add feat_supported() helper that accepts feature cache instead of
bpf_object. This allows low-level code in bpf.c to not know or care
about higher-level concept of bpf_object, yet it will be able to utilize
custom feature checking in cases where BPF token might influence the
outcome.

=== Motivation ===
Similar to reading from CO-RE bitfields, we need a CO-RE aware bitfield
writing wrapper to make the verifier happy.
Two alternatives to this approach are:
1. Use the upcoming `preserve_static_offset` [0] attribute to disable
CO-RE on specific structs.
2. Use broader byte-sized writes to write to bitfields.
(1) is a bit hard to use. It requires specific and not-very-obvious
annotations to bpftool generated vmlinux.h. It's also not generally
available in released LLVM versions yet.
(2) makes the code quite hard to read and write. And especially if
BPF_CORE_READ_BITFIELD() is already being used, it makes more sense to
to have an inverse helper for writing.
=== Implementation details ===
Since the logic is a bit non-obvious, I thought it would be helpful
to explain exactly what's going on.
To start, it helps by explaining what LSHIFT_U64 (lshift) and RSHIFT_U64
(rshift) is designed to mean. Consider the core of the
BPF_CORE_READ_BITFIELD() algorithm:
val <<= __CORE_RELO(s, field, LSHIFT_U64);
val = val >> __CORE_RELO(s, field, RSHIFT_U64);
Basically what happens is we lshift to clear the non-relevant (blank)
higher order bits. Then we rshift to bring the relevant bits (bitfield)
down to LSB position (while also clearing blank lower order bits). To
illustrate:
Start: ........XXX......
Lshift: XXX......00000000
Rshift: 00000000000000XXX
where `.` means blank bit, `0` means 0 bit, and `X` means bitfield bit.
After the two operations, the bitfield is ready to be interpreted as a
regular integer.
Next, we want to build an alternative (but more helpful) mental model
on lshift and rshift. That is, to consider:
* rshift as the total number of blank bits in the u64
* lshift as number of blank bits left of the bitfield in the u64
Take a moment to consider why that is true by consulting the above
diagram.
With this insight, we can now define the following relationship:
bitfield
_
| |
0.....00XXX0...00
| | | |
|______| | |
lshift | |
|____|
(rshift - lshift)
That is, we know the number of higher order blank bits is just lshift.
And the number of lower order blank bits is (rshift - lshift).
Finally, we can examine the core of the write side algorithm:
mask = (~0ULL << rshift) >> lshift; // 1
val = (val & ~mask) | ((nval << rpad) & mask); // 2
1. Compute a mask where the set bits are the bitfield bits. The first
left shift zeros out exactly the number of blank bits, leaving a
bitfield sized set of 1s. The subsequent right shift inserts the
correct amount of higher order blank bits.
2. On the left of the `|`, mask out the bitfield bits. This creates
0s where the new bitfield bits will go. On the right of the `|`,
bring nval into the correct bit position and mask out any bits
that fall outside of the bitfield. Finally, by bor'ing the two
halves, we get the final set of bits to write back.

Rename perf_cpu_map__default_new() to perf_cpu_map__new_online_cpus() to

Read the online CPUs from /sys/devices/system/cpu/online first before
using sysconf() as it can't accurately configure holes in the CPU map.
If sysconf() is used, warn when the configured and online processors
disagree.
When reading from a file, if the read doesn't yield a CPU map then
return an empty map rather than the default online. This avoids
recursion but also better yields being able to detect failures.

In libbpf, when determining whether we need to load vmlinux btf, we're
currently (among other things) checking whether there is any struct_ops
program present in the object. This works for most realistic struct_ops
maps, as a struct_ops map is of course typically composed of one or more
struct_ops programs. However, that technically need not be the case. A
struct_ops interface could be defined which allows a map to be specified
which one or more non-prog fields, and which provides default behavior
if no struct_ops progs is actually provided otherwise. For sched_ext,
for example, you technically only need to specify the name of the
scheduler in the struct_ops map, with the core scheduler logic providing
default behavior if no prog is actually specified.
If we were to define and try to load such a struct_ops map, we would
crash in libbpf when initializing it as obj->btf_vmlinux will be NULL:

filename__read_str() has its own string reading code that allocates
memory before reading into it. The memory allocated is sized at BUFSIZ
that is 8kb. Most strings are short and so most of this 8kb is wasted.
Refactor io__getline(), as io__getdelim(), so that the newline character
can be configurable and ignored in the case of filename__read_str().
Code like build_caches_for_cpu() in perf's header.c will read many strings
and hold them in a data structure, in this case multiple strings per
cache level per CPU.
Using io.h's io__getline() avoids the wasted memory as strings are
temporarily read into a buffer on the stack before being copied to a
buffer that grows 128 bytes at a time and is never sized larger than the
string.
For a 16 hyperthread system the memory consumption of "perf record
true" is reduced by 180kb, primarily through saving memory when
reading the cache information.

The event copy in the mmap is used to have storage to read an event. Not
all users of mmaps read the events, such as perf record. The amount of
buffer was also statically set to PERF_SAMPLE_MAX_SIZE rather than the
amount necessary from the header's event size.
Switch to a model where the event_copy is reallocated if too small to
the event's size. This adds the potential for the event to move, so if a
copy of the event pointer were stored it could be broken. All the
current users do:
while(event = perf_mmap__read_event()) { ... }
and so they would be broken due to the event being overwritten if they
had stored the pointer. Manual inspection and address sanitizer testing
also shows the event pointer not being stored.

Build
-----
* Compile BPF programs by default if clang (>= 12.0.1) is available to
enable more features like kernel lock contention, off-cpu profiling,
kwork, sample filtering and so on. It can be disabled by passing
BUILD_BPF_SKEL=0 to make.
* Produce better error messages for bison on debug build (make DEBUG=1)
by defining YYDEBUG symbol internally.
perf record
-----------
* Track sideband events (like FORK/MMAP) from all CPUs even if perf record
targets a subset of CPUs only (using -C option). Otherwise it may lose
some information happened on a CPU out of the target list.
* Fix checking raw sched_switch tracepoint argument using system BTF.
This affects off-cpu profiling which attaches a BPF program to the raw
tracepoint.
perf lock contention
--------------------
* Add --lock-cgroup option to see contention by cgroups. This should be
used with BPF only (using -b option).
$ sudo perf lock con -ab --lock-cgroup -- sleep 1
contended total wait max wait avg wait cgroup
835 14.06 ms 41.19 us 16.83 us /system.slice/led.service
25 122.38 us 13.77 us 4.89 us /
44 23.73 us 3.87 us 539 ns /user.slice/user-657345.slice/session-c4.scope
1 491 ns 491 ns 491 ns /system.slice/connectd.service
* Add -G/--cgroup-filter option to see contention only for given cgroups.
This can be useful when you identified a cgroup in the above command and
want to investigate more on it. It also works with other output options
like -t/--threads and -l/--lock-addr.
$ sudo perf lock con -ab -G /user.slice/user-657345.slice/session-c4.scope -- sleep 1
contended total wait max wait avg wait type caller

1 4.97 us 4.97 us 4.97 us spinlock futex_q_lock+0x2a
* Use per-cpu array for better spinlock tracking. This is to improve
performance of the BPF program and to avoid nested contention on a lock
in the BPF hash map.
* Update callstack check for PowerPC. To find a representative caller of a
lock, it needs to look up the call stacks. It ends the lookup when it sees
0 in the call stack buffer. However, PowerPC call stacks can have 0 values
in the beginning so skip them when it expects valid call stacks after.
perf kwork
----------
* Support 'sched' class (for -k option) so that it can see task scheduling
event (using sched_switch tracepoint) as well as irq and workqueue items.
* Add perf kwork top subcommand to show more accurate cpu utilization with
sched class above. It works both with a recorded data (using perf kwork
record command) and BPF (using -b option). Unlike perf top command, it
does not support interactive mode (yet).
$ sudo perf kwork top -b -k sched

perf bench
----------
* Add -G/--cgroups option to perf bench sched pipe. The pipe bench is
good to measure context switch overhead. With this option, it puts
the reader and writer tasks in separate cgroups to enforce context
switch between two different cgroups.
Also it needs to set CPU affinity of the tasks in a CPU to accurately
measure the impact of cgroup context switches.
$ sudo perf stat -e context-switches,cgroup-switches -- \
> taskset -c 0 perf bench sched pipe -l 100000
# Running 'sched/pipe' benchmark:
# Executed 100000 pipe operations between two processes
Total time: 0.307 [sec]
3.078180 usecs/op
324867 ops/sec
Performance counter stats for 'taskset -c 0 perf bench sched pipe -l 100000':
200,026 context-switches
63 cgroup-switches
0.321637922 seconds time elapsed
You can see small number of cgroup-switches because both write and read
tasks are in the same cgroup.
$ sudo mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/{AAA,BBB}
$ sudo perf stat -e context-switches,cgroup-switches -- \
> taskset -c 0 perf bench sched pipe -l 100000 -G AAA,BBB
# Running 'sched/pipe' benchmark:
# Executed 100000 pipe operations between two processes
Total time: 0.351 [sec]
3.512990 usecs/op
284657 ops/sec
Performance counter stats for 'taskset -c 0 perf bench sched pipe -l 100000 -G AAA,BBB':
200,020 context-switches
200,019 cgroup-switches
0.365034567 seconds time elapsed
Now context-switches and cgroup-switches are almost same. And you can
see the pipe operation took little more.
* Kill child processes when perf bench sched messaging exited abnormally.
Otherwise it'd leave the child doing unnecessary work.
perf test
---------
* Fix various shellcheck issues on the tests written in shell script.
* Skip tests when condition is not satisfied:
- object code reading test for non-text section addresses.
- CoreSight test if cs_etm// event is not available.
- lock contention test if not enough CPUs.
Event parsing
-------------
* Make PMU alias name loading lazy to reduce the startup time in the
event parsing code for perf record, stat and others in the general
case.
* Lazily compute PMU default config. In the same sense, delay PMU
initialization until it's really needed to reduce the startup cost.
* Fix event term values that are raw events. The event specification
can have several terms including event name. But sometimes it clashes
with raw event encoding which starts with 'r' and has hex-digits.
For example, an event named 'read' should be processed as a normal
event but it was mis-treated as a raw encoding and caused a failure.
$ perf stat -e 'uncore_imc_free_running/event=read/' -a sleep 1
event syntax error: '..nning/event=read/'
\___ parser error
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events
Usage: perf stat [<options>] [<command>]
-e, --event <event> event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events
Event metrics
-------------
* Add "Compat" regex to match event with multiple identifiers.
* Usual updates for Intel, Power10, Arm telemetry/CMN and AmpereOne.
Misc
----
* Assorted memory leak fixes and footprint reduction.
* Add "bpf_skeletons" to perf version --build-options so that users can
check whether their perf tools have BPF support easily.
* Fix unaligned access in Intel-PT packet decoder found by undefined-behavior
sanitizer.
* Avoid frequency mode for the dummy event. Surprisingly it'd impact
kernel timer tick handler performance by force iterating all PMU events.
* Update bash shell completion for events and metrics.

This adds bpf_program__attach_netkit() API to libbpf. Overall it is very
similar to tcx. The API looks as following:
LIBBPF_API struct bpf_link *
bpf_program__attach_netkit(const struct bpf_program *prog, int ifindex,
const struct bpf_netkit_opts *opts);
The struct bpf_netkit_opts is done in similar way as struct bpf_tcx_opts
for supporting bpf_mprog control parameters. The attach location for the
primary and peer device is derived from the program section "netkit/primary"
and "netkit/peer", respectively.

Fix too eager assumption that SHT_GNU_verdef ELF section is going to be
present whenever binary has SHT_GNU_versym section. It seems like either
SHT_GNU_verdef or SHT_GNU_verneed can be used, so failing on missing
SHT_GNU_verdef actually breaks use cases in production.
One specific reported issue, which was used to manually test this fix,
was trying to attach to `readline` function in BASH binary.

io__getline will free the line on error but it doesn't clear the out
argument. This may lead to the line being freed twice, like in
tools/perf/util/srcline.c as detected by clang-tidy.
