perf top: Switch user option to use BPF filter

2025-06-09T18:18:18Z

Finding user processes by scanning /proc is inherently racy and results in perf_event_open failures. Use a BPF filter to drop samples where the uid doesn't match. Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250604174545.2853620-7-irogers@google.com Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim

perf top: Add option to enable the LBR stitching approach

2020-04-18T12:05:01Z

With the LBR stitching approach, the reconstructed LBR call stack can break the HW limitation. However, it may reconstruct invalid call stacks in some cases, e.g. exception handing such as setjmp/longjmp. Also, it may impact the processing time especially when the number of samples with stitched LBRs are huge. Add an option to enable the approach. The option must be used with --call-graph lbr.

perf auxtrace: Uninline functions that touch perf_session

2019-09-01T01:24:10Z

So that we don't carry the session.h include directive in auxtrace.h, which in turn opens a can of worms of files that were getting all sorts of things via that include, fix them all.

perf record: Move record_opts and other record decls out of perf.h

And into a separate util/record.h, to better isolate things and make sure that those who use record_opts and the other moved declarations are explicitly including the necessary header.

perf top: Add --switch-on/--switch-off events

2019-08-15T19:03:26Z

Just like 'perf trace' and 'perf script', should be useful for instance to only consider samples after the initialization phase of some workload. The man page has some examples and considerations about its current interface, that still doesn't handle the on/off events in a special way, behaving just like when multiple events are specified, i.e.: - In non-group mode (when the event list is not enclosed in {}) show a a menu to allow choosing which event the user wants to see in the histograms browser - In group mode, be it using {} or asking for --group, show one column per event. Try for instance: # perf top -e '{cycles,instructions,probe:icmp_rcv}' --switch-on=probe:icmp_rcv Replace probe:icmp_rcv, that I put in place using: # perf probe icmp_rcv:59 To hit when broadcast packets arrive, with a probe installed after an initialization phase is over or after some other point of interest, some garbage collection, etc, and also use --switch-off, for instance, on a probe installed after said garbage collection is over.

perf evlist: Rename struct perf_evlist to struct evlist

2019-07-29T21:34:42Z

Rename struct perf_evlist to struct evlist, so we don't have a name clash when we add struct perf_evlist in libperf.
