2026-04-14perf loongarch: Fix build failure with CONFIG_LIBDW_DWARF_UNWINDWANG Rui1-1/+0
Building perf for LoongArch fails when CONFIG_LIBDW_DWARF_UNWIND is enabled because unwind-libdw.o is still referenced in arch/loongarch/util/Build.

2026-04-08perf tools: Make more global variables staticIan Rogers2-12/+12
`make check` will run sparse on the perf code base. A frequent warning is "warning: symbol '...' was not declared. Should it be static?" Go through and make global definitions without declarations static. In some cases it is deliberate due to dlsym accessing the symbol, this change doesn't clean up the missing declarations for perf test suites. Sometimes things can opportunistically be made const. Making somethings static exposed unused functions warnings, so restructuring of ifdefs was necessary for that. These changes reduce the size of the perf binary by 568 bytes. Committer notes: Refreshed the patch, the original one fell thru the cracks, updated the size reduction. Remove the trace-event-scripting.c changes, break the build, noticed with container builds and with sashiko: https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260401215306.2152898-1-acme%40kernel.org Also make two variables static to address another sashiko review comment: https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260402001740.2220481-1-acme%40kernel.org Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com> Acked-by: Ankur Arora <ankur.a.arora@oracle.com> Acked-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Albert Ou <aou@eecs.berkeley.edu> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Alexandre Ghiti <alex@ghiti.fr> Cc: Athira Rajeev <atrajeev@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Guo Ren <guoren@kernel.org> Cc: Howard Chu <howardchu95@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: James Clark <james.clark@linaro.org> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Leo Yan <leo.yan@arm.com> Cc: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org> Cc: Palmer Dabbelt <palmer@dabbelt.com> Cc: Paul Walmsley <pjw@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Yujie Liu <yujie.liu@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org>
2026-04-01libperf cpumap: Make index and nr types unsignedIan Rogers4-6/+9
The index into the cpumap array and the number of entries within the array can never be negative, so let's make them unsigned. This is prompted by reports that gcc 13 with -O6 is giving a alloc-size-larger-than errors. The change makes the cpumap changes and then updates the declaration of index variables throughout perf and libperf to be unsigned. The two things are hard to separate as compiler warnings about mixing signed and unsigned types breaks the build.

2026-03-10perf cs-etm: Finish removal of ETM_OPT_*James Clark1-14/+0
These #defines have been removed from the kernel headers in favour of the string based PMU format attributes. Usages were previously removed from the recording side of cs-etm in Perf. Finish the removal by removing usages from the decode side too. It's a straight replacement of the old #defines with the new register bit definitions. Except cs_etm__setup_timeless_decoding() which wasn't looking at the saved metadata and was instead hard coding an access to 'attr.config'. This was vulnerable to the same issue of .config being moved to .config2 etc that the original removal of ETM_OPT_* tried to fix. So fix that too.

Architectural-specific implementations in the arch/ directory are now converted into sub-functions within the util/perf-regs-arch/ directory.

2026-02-06perf regs: Remove __weak attributive arch__xxx_reg_mask() functionsDapeng Mi17-218/+6
Currently, some architecture-specific perf-regs functions, such as arch__intr_reg_mask() and arch__user_reg_mask(), are defined with the __weak attribute. This approach ensures that only functions matching the architecture of the build/run host are compiled and executed, reducing build time and binary size. However, this __weak attribute restricts these functions to be called only on the same architecture, preventing cross-architecture functionality. For example, a perf.data file captured on x86 cannot be parsed on an ARM platform. To address this limitation, this patch removes the __weak attribute from these perf-regs functions. The architecture-specific code is moved from the arch/ directory to the util/perf-regs-arch/ directory. The appropriate architectural functions are then called based on the EM_HOST. No functional changes are intended.

The architectural specific headers perf_regs.h currently rely on the host architecture's 'asm/perf_regs.h'. This can lead to compilation inconsistencies or failures when including and building perf for a target architecture that differs from the host's architecture.

2026-02-03perf kvm stat: Remove use of the arch directoryIan Rogers22-1218/+0
`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.

2026-01-23perf regs: Refactor use of arch__sample_reg_masks() to perf_reg_name()Ian Rogers10-222/+6
arch__sample_reg_masks isn't supported on ARM(32), csky, loongarch, MIPS, RISC-V and s390. The table returned by the function just has the name of a register paired with the corresponding sample_regs_user mask value. For a given perf register we can compute the name with perf_reg_name and the mask is just 1 left-shifted by the perf register number. Change __parse_regs to use this method for finding registers rather than arch__sample_reg_masks, thereby adding __parse_regs support for ARM(32), csky, loongarch, MIPS, RISC-V and s390. As arch__sample_reg_masks is then unused, remove the now unneeded declarations.

2026-01-23perf annotate: Fix args leak of map_symbolIan Rogers2-10/+15
map_symbol__exit() needs calling on an annotate_args.ms, however, rather than introduce proper reference count handling to symbol__annotate() just switch to passing the map_symbol pointer parameter around, making the puts the caller's responsibility.

2026-01-20perf powerpc: Unify the skip-callchain-idx libdw with that for addr2lineIan Rogers1-41/+11
Rather than have 2 Dwfl unify the Dwfl in skip-callchain-idx with that is used by libdw__addr2line(). Rename that variable in 'struct dso' from 'a2l_libdw' to just 'libdw' as it is now used in more than addr2line. The Dwfl in skip-callchain-idx uses a map address when being read with dwfl_report_elf (rather than dwfl_report_offline that addr2line uses). skip-callchain-idx is wrong as the map address can vary between processes because of ASLR, ie it should need a different Dwfl per process. In the code after this patch the base address becomes 0 and the mapped PC is used with the dwfl functions. This should increase the accuracy of skip-callchain-idx, but the impact has only been build tested.

2026-01-20perf unwind-libdw: Fix a cross-arch unwinding bugShimin Guo15-497/+0
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.

Perf only looks at attr.config when determining what was programmed into ETMCR. These bits could theoretically be in any of the config fields. Add a generic helper to find the value of any named format field in any config field and then use it to get the attributes relevant to ETMCR. The kernel will also stop publishing the ETMCR register bits in a header [1] so preempt that by defining them here. Move field_prep() to util.h so we can define it along side field_get(). Unfortunately FIELD_PREP() and FIELD_GET() from the kernel can't be used as they require the mask to be a compile time constant.
