perf sort: Use perf_env to set arch sort keys and header

2025-07-25T17:37:58Z

Previously arch_support_sort_key and arch_perf_header_entry used a weak symbol to compile as appropriate for x86 and powerpc. A limitation to this is that the handling of a data file could vary in cross-platform development. Change to using the perf_env of the current session to determine the architecture kind and set the sort key and header entries as appropriate.

libperf rc_check: Add RC_CHK_EQUAL

2023-10-25T20:37:22Z

Comparing pointers with reference count checking is tricky to avoid a SEGV. Add a convenience macro to simplify and use.

perf thread: Add reference count checking

2023-06-12T18:57:53Z

Modify struct declaration and accessor functions for the reference count checkers additional layer of indirection. Make sure pid_cmp in builtin-sched.c uses the underlying/original struct in pointer arithmetic, and not the temporary get/put indirection.

perf addr_location: Add init/exit/copy functions

2023-06-12T18:57:53Z

struct addr_location holds references to multiple reference counted objects. Add init/exit functions to make maintenance of those more consistent with the rest of the code and to try to avoid leaks. Modification of thread reference counts isn't included in this change. Committer notes: I needed to initialize result to sample->ip to make sure is set to something, fixing a compile time error, mostly keeping the previous logic as build_alloc_func_list() already does debugging/error prints about what went wrong if it takes the 'goto out'.

perf map: Add reference count checking

2023-04-19T15:57:53Z

There's no strict get/put policy with map that leads to leaks or use after free. Reference count checking identifies correct pairing of gets and puts. Committer notes: Extracted from a larger patch removing bits that were covered by the use of pre-existing map__ accessors (e.g. maps__nr_maps()) and new ones added (map__refcnt() and the maps__set_ ones) to reduce RC_CHK_ACCESS(maps)-> source code pollution.

perf map: Changes to reference counting

2023-04-07T01:13:43Z

When a pointer to a map exists do a get, when that pointer is overwritten or freed, put the map. This avoids issues with gets and puts being inconsistently used causing, use after puts, etc. For example, the map in struct addr_location is changed to hold a reference count. Reference count checking and address sanitizer were used to identify issues.

perf hist: Add 'kvm_info' field in histograms entry

2023-03-15T19:47:20Z

__hists__add_entry() creates a temporary entry and compare it with existed histograms entries, if any existed entry equals to the temporary entry it skips to allocation to avoid duplication. The problem for support KVM event in histograms is it doesn't contain any info to identify KVM event and can be used for comparison entries. This patch adds 'kvm_info' field in the histograms entry which contains the KVM event's key, this identifier will be used for comparison histograms entries in later change.

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: 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).
