perf auxtrace: Remove errno.h from auxtrace.h and fix transitive dependencies

2025-11-14T07:03:11Z

errno.h isn't used in auxtrace.h so remove it and fix build failures caused by transitive dependencies through auxtrace.h on errno.h. Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers Reviewed-by: James Clark Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim

perf pmu: Abstract alias/event struct

2023-08-24T13:42:46Z

In order to be able to lazily compute aliases/events for a PMU, move the struct perf_pmu_alias into pmu.c. Add perf_pmu__find_event and perf_pmu__for_each_event that take a callback that is called for the found event or for each event. The layout of struct pmu and the event/alias list is unchanged but the API is altered so that aliases are no longer directly accessed, allowing for later changes.

perf pmus: Allow just core PMU scanning

2023-05-27T12:42:00Z

Scanning all PMUs is expensive as all PMUs sysfs entries are loaded, benchmarking shows more than 4x the cost: ``` $ perf bench internals pmu-scan -i 1000 Computing performance of sysfs PMU event scan for 1000 times Average core PMU scanning took: 989.231 usec (+- 1.535 usec) Average PMU scanning took: 4309.425 usec (+- 74.322 usec) ``` Add new perf_pmus__scan_core routine that scans just core PMUs. Replace perf_pmus__scan calls with perf_pmus__scan_core when non-core PMUs are being ignored.

perf pmu: Separate pmu and pmus

2023-05-27T12:41:39Z

Separate and hide the pmus list in pmus.[ch]. Move pmus functionality out of pmu.[ch] into pmus.[ch] renaming pmus functions which were prefixed perf_pmu__ to perf_pmus__.

perf pmus: Prefer perf_pmu__scan over perf_pmus__for_each_pmu

2023-05-27T12:41:17Z

perf_pmus__for_each_pmu doesn't lazily initialize pmus making its use error prone. Just use perf_pmu__scan as this only impacts non-performance critical tests.
