perf cs-etm: Finish removal of ETM_OPT_*

2026-03-10T12:50:44+00:00

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.

tools headers: Update the syscall tables and unistd.h, to support the new 'rseq_slice_yield' syscall

2026-03-05T20:20:23+00:00

Picking up the changes from these csets:

  2153b2e8917b73e9 ("sparc: Add architecture support for clone3")
  99d2592023e5d0a3 ("rseq: Implement sys_rseq_slice_yield()")
  4ac286c4a8d904c8 ("s390/syscalls: Switch to generic system call table generation")

This makes 'perf trace' support it, now its possible, for instance, to
do:

  # perf trace -e rseq_slice_yield --max-stack=16

Here is an example with the 'sendmmsg' syscall:

  root@x1:~# perf trace -e sendmmsg --max-stack 16 --max-events=1
       0.000 ( 0.062 ms): dbus-broker/1012 sendmmsg(fd: 150, mmsg: 0x7ffef57cca50, vlen: 1, flags: DONTWAIT|NOSIGNAL) = 1

                                         syscall_exit_to_user_mode_prepare ([kernel.kallsyms])
                                         syscall_exit_to_user_mode ([kernel.kallsyms])

perf regs: Remove __weak attributive arch_sdt_arg_parse_op() function

2026-02-06T15:16:12+00:00

In line with the previous patch, the __weak arch_sdt_arg_parse_op()
function is removed.

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

The perf_sdt_arg_parse_op() function will call these sub-functions based
on the EM_HOST.

This change enables cross-architecture calls to arch_sdt_arg_parse_op().

No functional changes are intended.

perf regs: Remove weak attributive archxxx_reg_mask() functions

2026-02-06T15:16:09+00:00

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.

perf arch: Update arch headers to use relative UAPI paths

2026-02-06T15:15:48+00:00

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.

Explicitly point to the UAPI headers within the tools source tree using
relative paths.

This ensures that perf is always built against the intended
architecture.

No functional changes are intended.

perf kvm stat: Remove use of the arch directory

2026-02-03T21:01:27+00:00

`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.

perf regs: Refactor use of arch__sample_reg_masks() to perf_reg_name()

2026-01-23T19:58:39+00:00

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.
