2026-02-08perf test parse-metric: Ensure aggregate counts appear to have runIan Rogers
Commit bb5a920b90991279 ("perf stat: Ensure metrics are displayed even with failed events") with failed events") made it so that counters which weren't enabled in the kernel were handled as NaN in metrics. This caused the "Parse and process metrics" test to start failing as it wasn't putting a non-zero value in these variables. Add arbitrary values of 1 to fix the test.

2026-02-06perf build: Reduce pmu-events related copying and mkdirsIan Rogers
When building to an output directory the previous code would remove files and then copy the source files over. Each source file copy would have a rule to make its directory. All JSON for every architecture was considered a source file. This led to unnecessary copying as a file would be deleted and then the same file copied again, unnecessary directory making, and copying of files not used in the build. A side-effect would be a lot of build messages. This change makes it so that all computed output files are created and then compared to all files in the OUTPUT directory. By filtering out the files that would be copied, unnecessary files can be determined and then deleted - note, this is a phony target which would remake the pmu-events.c if always depended upon, and so the dependency is conditional on there being files to remove. This has some overhead as the $(OUTPUT)/pmu-events is "find" over rather than just "rm -fr", but the savings from unnecessary copying, etc. should make up for this new make overhead. The copy target just does copying but has a dependency on the directory it needs being built, avoiding repetitive mkdirs. The source files for copying only consider the JEVENTS_ARCH unless the JEVENTS_ARCH is all. The metric JSON is only generated if appropriate, rather than always being generated and jevents.py deciding whether or not to use the files. The mypy and pylint targets are fixed as variable names had changed but the rules not updated. The line count of a build with "make -C tools/perf O=/tmp/perf clean all" prior to this change was 2181 lines, after this change it is 1596 lines. This is a reduction of 585 lines or about 27%. The generated pmu-events.c for JEVENTS_ARCH "x86" and "all" were validated as being identical after this change.

2026-02-06perf test: Fix test case Leader sampling on s390Thomas Richter
The subtest 'Leader sampling' some time fails on s390. - for z/VM guest: Disable the test for z/VM guest. There is no CPU Measurement facility to run the test successfully. - for LPAR: Use correct event names. A detailed analysis follows here: Now to the debugging and investigation: 1. With command perf record -e '{cycles,cycles}:S' -- .... the first cycles event starts sampling. On s390 this sets up sampling with a frequency of 4000 Hz. This translates to hardware sample rate of 1377000 instructions per micro-second to meet a frequency of 4000 HZ. 2. With first event cycles now sampling into a hardware buffer, an interrupt is triggered each time a sampling buffer gets full. The interrupt handler is then invoked and debug output shows the processing of samples. The size of one hardware sample is 32 bytes. With an interrupt triggered when the hardware buffer page of 4KB gets full, the interrupt handler processes 128 samples. (This is taken from s390 specific fast debug data gathering) 2025-11-07 14:35:51.977248 000003ffe013cbfa \ perf_event_count_update event->count 0x0 count 0x1502e8 2025-11-07 14:35:51.977248 000003ffe013cbfa \ perf_event_count_update event->count 0x1502e8 count 0x1502e8 2025-11-07 14:35:51.977248 000003ffe013cbfa \ perf_event_count_update event->count 0x2a05d0 count 0x1502e8 2025-11-07 14:35:51.977252 000003ffe013cbfa \ perf_event_count_update event->count 0x3f08b8 count 0x1502e8 2025-11-07 14:35:51.977252 000003ffe013cbfa \ perf_event_count_update event->count 0x540ba0 count 0x1502e8 2025-11-07 14:35:51.977253 000003ffe013cbfa \ perf_event_count_update event->count 0x690e88 count 0x1502e8 2025-11-07 14:35:51.977254 000003ffe013cbfa \ perf_event_count_update event->count 0x7e1170 count 0x1502e8 2025-11-07 14:35:51.977254 000003ffe013cbfa \ perf_event_count_update event->count 0x931458 count 0x1502e8 2025-11-07 14:35:51.977254 000003ffe013cbfa \ perf_event_count_update event->count 0xa81740 count 0x1502e8 3.

The second event cycles is opened against the counting PMU, which is an independent PMU and is not interrupt driven. Once enabled it runs in the background and keeps running, incrementing silently about 400+ counters. The counter values are read via assembly instructions. This second counter PMU's read call back function is called when the interrupt handler of the sampling facility processes each sample. The function call sequence is: perf_event_overflow() +--> __perf_event_overflow() +--> __perf_event_output() +--> perf_output_sample() +--> perf_output_read() +--> perf_output_read_group() for_each_sibling_event(sub, leader) { values[n++] = perf_event_count(sub, self); printk("%s sub %p values %#lx\n", __func__, sub, values[n-1]); } The last function perf_event_count() is invoked on the second event cylces *on* the counting PMU.

An interrupt processes the 128 samples and calls eventually perf_output_read_group() for each sample to save it in the event's ring buffer. - At that time the CPU counting facility is invoked to read the value of the event cycles. This value is saved as the second value in the sample_read structure. - The first and odd lines in the perf script output displays the period value between 2 samples being created by hardware. It is the number of instructions executes before the hardware writes a sample. - The second and even lines in the perf script output displays the number of CPU cycles needed to process each sample and save it in the event's ring buffer. These 2 different values can never be identical on s390. Since event leader sampling is not possible on s390 the perf tool will return EOPNOTSUPP soon. Perpare the test case for that.

2026-02-06perf stat: Ensure metrics are displayed even with failed eventsChun-Tse Shao
Currently, `perf stat` skips or hides metrics when the underlying hardware events cannot be counted (e.g., due to insufficient permissions or unsupported events). In `--metric-only` mode, this often results in missing columns or blank spaces, making the output difficult to parse. Modify the logic to ensure metrics are consistently displayed by propagating NAN (Not a Number) through the expression evaluator. Specifically: 1. Update `prepare_metric()` in stat-shadow.c to treat uncounted events (where `run == 0`) as NAN. This leverages the existing math in expr.y to propagate NAN through metric expressions. 2. Remove the early return in the display logic's `printout()` function that was previously skipping metrics in `--metric-only` mode for failed events. l 3. Simplify `perf_stat__skip_metric_event()` to no longer depend on event runtime. Tested: 1. `perf all metrics test` did not crash while paranoid is 2. 2. Multiple combinations with `CPUs_utilized` while paranoid is 2. $ ./perf stat -M CPUs_utilized -a -- sleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'system wide': <not supported> msec cpu-clock:u # nan CPUs CPUs_utilized 1,006,356,120 duration_time 1.004375550 seconds time elapsed $ ./perf stat -M CPUs_utilized -a -j -- sleep 1 {"counter-value" : "<not supported>", "unit" : "msec", "event" : "cpu-clock:u", "event-runtime" : 0, "pcnt-running" : 100.00, "metric-value" : "nan", "metric-unit" : "CPUs CPUs_utilized"} {"counter-value" : "1006642462.000000", "unit" : "", "event" : "duration_time", "event-runtime" : 1, "pcnt-running" : 100.00} $ ./perf stat -M CPUs_utilized -a --metric-only -- sleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'system wide': CPUs CPUs_utilized nan 1.004424652 seconds time elapsed $ ./perf stat -M CPUs_utilized -a --metric-only -j -- sleep 1 {"CPUs CPUs_utilized" : "none"} Reviewed-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com> Signed-off-by: Chun-Tse Shao <ctshao@google.com> Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: James Clark <james.clark@linaro.org> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Kan Liang <kan.liang@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Yang Li <yang.lee@linux.alibaba.com> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

This approach ensures that only functions matching the architecture of the build/run host are compiled and executed, reducing build time and binary size. However, this __weak attribute restricts these functions to be called only on the same architecture, preventing cross-architecture functionality. For example, a perf.data file captured on x86 cannot be parsed on an ARM platform. To address this limitation, this patch removes the __weak attribute from these perf-regs functions. The architecture-specific code is moved from the arch/ directory to the util/perf-regs-arch/ directory. The appropriate architectural functions are then called based on the EM_HOST. No functional changes are intended.

2026-02-06perf arch: Update arch headers to use relative UAPI pathsDapeng Mi
The architectural specific headers perf_regs.h currently rely on the host architecture's 'asm/perf_regs.h'. This can lead to compilation inconsistencies or failures when including and building perf for a target architecture that differs from the host's architecture. Explicitly point to the UAPI headers within the tools source tree using relative paths. This ensures that perf is always built against the intended architecture. No functional changes are intended.

2026-02-06perf regs: Fix abort for "-I" or "--user-regs" optionsDapeng Mi
Fix an issue where the `perf` tool aborts unexpectedly when running the following command: ``` perf record -e cycles -I -- true Usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>] or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>] -I, --intr-regs[=<any register>] sample selected machine registers on interrupt, use '-I?' to list register names ``` The usage of the `-I` or `--user-regs` options without specifying any registers should default to sampling all general-purpose registers. However, this currently causes an abnormal termination. The issue was introduced by commit 3d06db9bad1a ("perf regs: Refactor use of arch__sample_reg_masks() to perf_reg_name()"). This patch resolves the problem, ensuring that the `-I` or `--user-regs` options work as intended without causing an abort.

2026-02-03perf kvm stat: Remove use of the arch directoryIan Rogers
`perf kvm stat` supports record and report options. By using the arch directory a report for a different machine type cannot be supported. Move the kvm-stat code out of the arch directory and into util/kvm-stat-arch following the pattern of perf-regs and dwarf-regs. Avoid duplicate symbols by renaming functions to have the architecture name within them. For global variables, wrap them in an architecture specific function. Selecting the architecture to use with `perf kvm stat` is selected by EM_HOST, ie no different than before the change. Later the ELF machine can be determined from the session or a header feature (ie EM_HOST at the time of the record). The build and #define HAVE_KVM_STAT_SUPPORT is now redundant so remove across Makefiles and in the build. Opportunistically constify architectural structs and arrays.
