perf thread_map: Remove uid options

2025-06-09T18:18:18Z

Now the target doesn't have a uid, it is handled through BPF filters, remove the uid options to thread_map creation. Tidy up the functions used in tests to avoid passing unused arguments.

perf target: Remove uid from target

2025-06-09T18:18:18Z

Gathering threads with a uid by scanning /proc is inherently racy leading to perf_event_open failures that quit perf. All users of the functionality now use BPF filters, so remove uid and uid_str from target.

perf test: Fix memory leaks on event-times error paths

2024-10-02T21:58:03Z

These error paths occur without sufficient permissions. Fix the memory leaks to make leak sanitizer happier. Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241001052327.7052-3-irogers@google.com Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim

perf tools: Do not pass NULL to parse_events()

2022-08-10T17:30:09Z

Many cases do not use the extra error information provided by parse_events and instead pass NULL as the struct parse_events_error pointer. Add a wrapper for those cases so that the pointer is never NULL.

perf test: Rename struct test to test_suite

perf test: Move each test suite struct to its test

2021-11-13T13:30:58Z

Rather than export test functions, export the test struct. Rename with a suite__ prefix to avoid name collisions. Committer notes: Its '&suite__vectors_page', not '&suite__vectors_pages', noticed when cross building to arm (32-bit).

perf evlist: Use the right prefix for 'struct evlist' create maps methods

2020-11-30T17:56:52Z

perf_evlist__ is for 'struct perf_evlist' methods, in tools/lib/perf/, go on completing this split. Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: Ian Rogers Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Namhyung Kim Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf evlist: Use the right prefix for 'struct evlist' 'workload' methods

perf evsel: Rename perf_evsel__open_per_() to evsel__open_per_()

2020-05-05T19:35:30Z

As those are not 'struct evsel' methods, not part of tools/lib/perf/, aka libperf, to whom the perf_ prefix belongs. Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Namhyung Kim Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf stat: Use affinity for opening events

2019-11-29T15:20:45Z

Restructure the event opening in perf stat to cycle through the events by CPU after setting affinity to that CPU. This eliminates IPI overhead in the perf API. We have to loop through the CPU in the outter builtin-stat code instead of leaving that to low level functions. It has to change the weak group fallback strategy slightly. Since we cannot easily undo the opens for other CPUs move the weak group retry to a separate loop. Before with a large test case with 94 CPUs: % time seconds usecs/call calls errors syscall ------ ----------- ----------- --------- --------- ---------------- 42.75 4.050910 67 60046 110 perf_event_open After: 26.86 0.944396 16 58069 110 perf_event_open (the number changes slightly because the weak group retries work differently and the test case relies on weak groups) Committer notes: Added one of the hunks in a patch provided by Andi after I noticed that the "event times" 'perf test' entry was segfaulting.
