perf machine: Explicitly pass in host perf_env

2025-07-25T17:37:57Z

When creating a machine for the host explicitly pass in a scoped perf_env. This removes a use of the global perf_env. Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250724163302.596743-17-irogers@google.com Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim

perf sample: Make user_regs and intr_regs optional

2025-02-13T04:06:11Z

The struct dump_regs contains 512 bytes of cache_regs, meaning the two values in perf_sample contribute 1088 bytes of its total 1384 bytes size. Initializing this much memory has a cost reported by Tavian Barnes as about 2.5% when running `perf script --itrace=i0`: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/d841b97b3ad2ca8bcab07e4293375fb7c32dfce7.1736618095.git.tavianator@tavianator.com/ Adrian Hunter replied that the zero initialization was necessary and couldn't simply be removed. This patch aims to strike a middle ground of still zeroing the perf_sample, but removing 79% of its size by make user_regs and intr_regs optional pointers to zalloc-ed memory. To support the allocation accessors are created for user_regs and intr_regs. To support correct cleanup perf_sample__init and perf_sample__exit functions are created and added throughout the code base.

perf tool: Constify tool pointers

2024-08-12T21:05:14Z

The tool pointer (to a struct largely of function pointers) is passed around but is unchanged except at initialization. Change parameter and variable types to be const to lower the possibilities of what could happen with a tool.

perf machine: Make delete_threads part of machine__exit

2023-06-12T18:57:53Z

The code required threads to be deleted before machine__exit was called or the threads would be leaked. This was error prone so move the delete_threads into machine__exit.

perf unwind: Don't show unwind error messages when augmenting frame pointer stack

2022-04-09T15:34:29Z

Commit Fixes: b9f6fbb3b2c29736 ("perf arm64: Inject missing frames when using 'perf record --call-graph=fp'") intended to add a 'best effort' DWARF unwind that improved the frame pointer stack in most scenarios. It's expected that the unwind will fail sometimes, but this shouldn't be reported as an error. It only works when the return address can be determined from the contents of the link register alone. Fix the error shown when the unwinder requires extra registers by adding a new flag that suppresses error messages. This flag is not set in the normal --call-graph=dwarf unwind mode so that behavior is not changed.

perf test: Move each test suite struct to its test

Rather than export test functions, export the test struct. Rename with a suite__ prefix to avoid name collisions.

perf test: Make each test/suite its own struct.

2021-11-13T13:30:04Z

By switching to an array of pointers to tests (later to be suites) the definition of the tests can be moved to the file containing the tests. Committer notes: It's "&vectors_page", not "&vectors_pages", noticed when cross building to 32-bit ARM. Also the DEFINE_SUITE(vectors_page) should be done where its function is implemented, in tools/perf/arch/arm/tests/vectors-page.c, so that we can make it static, as we don't have anymore its declaration in tests.h.
