perf synthetic-events: Fix stale build ID in module MMAP2 records

2026-03-11T20:47:42Z

perf_event__synthesize_modules() allocates a single union perf_event and reuses it across every kernel module callback. After the first module is processed, perf_record_mmap2__read_build_id() sets PERF_RECORD_MISC_MMAP_BUILD_ID in header.misc and writes that module's build ID into the event. On subsequent iterations the callback overwrites start, len, pid, and filename for the next module but never clears the stale build ID fields or the MMAP_BUILD_ID flag. When perf_record_mmap2__read_build_id() runs for the second module it sees the flag, reads the stale build ID into a dso_id, and __dso__improve_id() permanently poisons the DSO with the wrong build ID. Every module after the first therefore receives the first module's build ID in its MMAP2 record. On a system with the sunrpc and nfsd modules loaded, this causes perf script and perf report to show [unknown] for all module symbols. The latent bug has existed since commit d9f2ecbc5e47fca7 ("perf dso: Move build_id to dso_id") introduced the PERF_RECORD_MISC_MMAP_BUILD_ID check in perf_record_mmap2__read_build_id(). Commit 53b00ff358dc75b1 ("perf record: Make --buildid-mmap the default") then exposed it to all users by making the MMAP2-with-build-ID path the default. Both commits were merged in the same series. Clear the MMAP_BUILD_ID flag and zero the build_id union before each call to perf_record_mmap2__read_build_id() so that every module starts with a clean slate.

perf ftrace: Fix hashmap__new() error checking

2026-03-10T14:53:27Z

The hashmap__new() function never returns NULL, it returns error pointers. Fix the error checking to match. Additionally, set ftrace->profile_hash to NULL on error, and return the exact error code from hashmap__new().

perf cs-etm: Finish removal of ETM_OPT_*

2026-03-10T12:50:44Z

These #defines have been removed from the kernel headers in favour of the string based PMU format attributes. Usages were previously removed from the recording side of cs-etm in Perf. Finish the removal by removing usages from the decode side too. It's a straight replacement of the old #defines with the new register bit definitions. Except cs_etm__setup_timeless_decoding() which wasn't looking at the saved metadata and was instead hard coding an access to 'attr.config'. This was vulnerable to the same issue of .config being moved to .config2 etc that the original removal of ETM_OPT_* tried to fix. So fix that too.

perf disasm: Fix off-by-one bug in outside check

2026-03-05T19:51:09Z

If a branch target points to one past the end of a function, the branch should be treated as a branch to another function. This can happen e.g. with a tail call to a function that is laid out immediately after the caller.
