Pull perf tools fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
- Fix tools/ quiet build Makefile infrastructure that was broken when
working on tools/perf/ without testing on other tools/ living
utilities.
* tag 'perf-tools-fixes-for-v6.14-2-2025-02-25' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/perf/perf-tools:
tools: Remove redundant quiet setup
tools: Unify top-level quiet infrastructure
Pull perf-tools updates from Namhyung Kim:
"There are a lot of changes in the perf tools in this cycle.
build:
- Use generic syscall table to generate syscall numbers on supported
archs
- This also enables to get rid of libaudit which was used for syscall
numbers
- Remove python2 support as it's deprecated for years
- Fix issues on static build with libzstd
perf record:
- Intel-PT supports "aux-action" config term to pause or resume
tracing in the aux-buffer. Users can start the intel_pt event as
"started-paused" and configure other events to control the Intel-PT
tracing:
# perf record --kcore -e intel_pt/aux-action=start-paused/ \
-e syscalls:sys_enter_newuname/aux-action=resume/ \
-e syscalls:sys_exit_newuname/aux-action=pause/ -- uname
This requires kernel support (which was added in v6.13)
perf lock:
- 'perf lock contention' command has an ability to symbolize locks in
dynamically allocated objects using slab cache name when it runs
with BPF. Those dynamic locks would have "&" prefix in the name to
distinguish them from ordinary (static) locks
# perf lock con -abl -E 5 sleep 1
contended total wait max wait avg wait address symbol
2 1.95 us 1.77 us 975 ns ffff9d5e852d3498 &task_struct (mutex)
1 1.18 us 1.18 us 1.18 us ffff9d5e852d3538 &task_struct (mutex)
4 1.12 us 354 ns 279 ns ffff9d5e841ca800 &kmalloc-cg-512 (mutex)
2 859 ns 617 ns 429 ns ffffffffa41c3620 delayed_uprobe_lock (mutex)
3 691 ns 388 ns 230 ns ffffffffa41c0940 pack_mutex (mutex)
This also requires kernel/BPF support (which was added in v6.13)
perf ftrace:
- 'perf ftrace latency' command gets a couple of options to support
linear buckets instead of exponential. Also it's possible to
specify max and min latency for the linear buckets:
# perf ftrace latency -abn -T switch_mm_irqs_off --bucket-range=100 \
--min-latency=200 --max-latency=800 -- sleep 1
# DURATION | COUNT | GRAPH |
0 - 200 ns | 186 | ### |
200 - 300 ns | 256 | ##### |
300 - 400 ns | 364 | ####### |
400 - 500 ns | 223 | #### |
500 - 600 ns | 111 | ## |
600 - 700 ns | 41 | |
700 - 800 ns | 141 | ## |
800 - ... ns | 169 | ### |
# statistics (in nsec)
total time: 2162212
avg time: 967
max time: 16817
min time: 132
count: 2236
- As you can see in the above example, it nows shows the statistics
at the end so that users can see the avg/max/min latencies easily
- 'perf ftrace profile' command has --graph-opts option like 'perf
ftrace trace' so that it can control the tracing behaviors in the
same way. For example, it can limit the function call depth or
threshold
perf script:
- Improve physical memory resolution in 'mem-phys-addr' script by
parsing /proc/iomem file
# perf script mem-phys-addr -- find /
...
Event: mem_inst_retired.all_loads:P
Memory type count percentage

Others:
- 'perf test' gets --runs-per-test option to run the test cases
repeatedly. This would be helpful to see if it's flaky
- Add 'parse_events' method to Python perf extension module, so that
users can use the same event parsing logic in the python code. One
more step towards implementing perf tools in Python. :)
- Support opening tracepoint events without libtraceevent. This will
be helpful if it won't use the tracing data like in 'perf stat'
- Update ARM Neoverse N2/V2 JSON events and metrics"

If the last instruction of a control flow graph building block is a
BPF_CALL, an incorrect edge with e->dst set to NULL is created and
results in a segfault during graph output.
Ensure that BPF_CALL as last instruction of a building block is handled
correctly and only generates a single edge unlike actual BPF_JUMP*
instructions.

Some projects, for example xdp-tools [0], prefer to check in a minimized
vmlinux.h rather than the complete file which can get rather large.
However, when you try to add a minimized version of a complex struct (eg
struct xfrm_state), things can get quite complex if you're trying to
manually untangle and deduplicate the dependencies.
This commit teaches bpftool to do a minimized dump of a specific types by
providing a optional root_id argument(s).
Example usage:
$ ./bpftool btf dump file ~/dev/linux/vmlinux | rg "STRUCT 'xfrm_state'"
[12643] STRUCT 'xfrm_state' size=912 vlen=58
$ ./bpftool btf dump file ~/dev/linux/vmlinux root_id 12643 format c

This patch introduces a new probe to check whether the kernel supports
instruction set extensions v4. The v4 extension comprises several new
instructions: BPF_{SDIV,SMOD} (signed div and mod), BPF_{LD,LDX,ST,STX,MOV}
(sign-extended load/store/move), 32-bit BPF_JA (unconditional jump),
target-independent BPF_ALU64 BSWAP (byte-swapping 16/32/64).
These have been introduced in the following commits respectively:
* ec0e2da95f ("bpf: Support new signed div/mod instructions.")
* 1f9a1ea821 ("bpf: Support new sign-extension load insns")
* 8100928c88 ("bpf: Support new sign-extension mov insns")
* 4cd58e9af8 ("bpf: Support new 32bit offset jmp instruction")
* 0845c3db7b ("bpf: Support new unconditional bswap instruction")
Support in bpftool for previous ISA extensions was added in commit
0fd800b245 ("bpftool: Probe for instruction set extensions"). These
probes are useful for userspace BPF projects that want to use newer
instruction set extensions on newer kernels, to reduce the programs'
sizes or their complexity.
LLVM provides the mcpu=v4 option since LLVM commit 8f28e8069c4b ("[BPF]
support for BPF_ST instruction in codegen") [0].

When building selftests with CFLAGS set via env variable, the value of
CFLAGS is propagated into bpftool Makefile (called from selftests
Makefile). This makes the compilation fail as _GNU_SOURCE is defined two
times - once from selftests Makefile (by including lib.mk) and once from
bpftool Makefile (by calling `llvm-config --cflags`):
$ CFLAGS="" make -C tools/testing/selftests/bpf
[...]
CC /bpf-next/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/tools/build/bpftool/btf.o
<command-line>: error: "_GNU_SOURCE" redefined [-Werror]
<command-line>: note: this is the location of the previous definition
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
[...]
Filter out -D_GNU_SOURCE from the result of `llvm-config --cflags` in
bpftool Makefile to prevent this error.

This patch addresses the bpftool issue "Wrong callq address displayed"[0].
The issue stemmed from an incorrect program counter (PC) value used during
disassembly with LLVM or libbfd.
For LLVM: The PC argument must represent the actual address in the kernel
to compute the correct relative address.
For libbfd: The relative address can be adjusted by adding func_ksym within
the custom info->print_address_func to yield the correct address.

When netfilter has no entry to display, qsort is called with
qsort(NULL, 0, ...). This results in undefined behavior, as UBSan
reports:
net.c:827:2: runtime error: null pointer passed as argument 1, which is declared to never be null
Although the C standard does not explicitly state whether calling qsort
with a NULL pointer when the size is 0 constitutes undefined behavior,
Section 7.1.4 of the C standard (Use of library functions) mentions:
"Each of the following statements applies unless explicitly stated
otherwise in the detailed descriptions that follow: If an argument to a
function has an invalid value (such as a value outside the domain of
the function, or a pointer outside the address space of the program, or
a null pointer, or a pointer to non-modifiable storage when the
corresponding parameter is not const-qualified) or a type (after
promotion) not expected by a function with variable number of
arguments, the behavior is undefined."
To avoid this, add an early return when nf_link_info is NULL to prevent
calling qsort with a NULL pointer.

Replace shifts of '1' with '1U' in bitwise operations within
__show_dev_tc_bpf() to prevent undefined behavior caused by shifting
into the sign bit of a signed integer. By using '1U', the operations
are explicitly performed on unsigned integers, avoiding potential
integer overflow or sign-related issues.
